There is no mention of a Geo Tate in any of the early tax/landowner records I have, and no mention of the name in Futhey and Cope (they mention a ? Tate that married Katharine Malin, in 1721, dau of Randal Malin and 1st wife Elizabeth ...he married , second, Mary Conway, widow of Thomas and dau of Valentine Hollingsworth...they lived within the Goshen MM (this is where you need to look for them)............(an interesting aside to this is that a warrant was granted May 6, 1721, by Henry Pierce, Esq, directed to the constable of Chester, to arrest James Maruhead, on complaints .... Randal Malin, for clandestinely marrying his daughter, contrary to law.) There is no mention of the name in early court records (1710 and earlier)....there are no will mentions of the name Geo Tate in the area...including Chester, Bucks, Berks, Phila.....nor is the name included on any of the Penn's ship's passengers that I have. So, without some sort of documentation, why does she think the father was the original emigrant? Why not the son? If he came with Penn, then he would have been a Quaker....have you looked for early MM records for the name? I have the early Chester mm and others....no Geo Tate included.....try the Goshen ones. S. " I'm also trying to find more on my CHARLES TATE when he emigrated, my cousin in Chicago does lots of research and can't find it either, but she says he came with Penn and got here 1682-83, that he was b. in England and died in Penn. but we can't find any evidence of when and where he died, or whom he married, just that his son was GEORGE TATE b. 1685-86 ( GEORGE marr. KATHERINE MALIN 1721 ) and supposedly lived Mill Creek Hundred where son WILLIAM TATE was b. 1732.... we are both looking for more records of that period.... Alice is coming down from Chicago the first of Aug. so maybe we'll work together on this a bit......" -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
