Thought I would post this marriage, as it does not appear to be indexed in the Illinois State Archives'" Illinois Statewide Marriage Index". >From the 7 Aug 1850 edition of the Illinois Republican Newspaper on page 3, column 1: "MARRIED. On the 5th of August by Wm. H. Snyder, Esq., Mr. WM. PATE to Mrs. MARY TIRE, all of St. Clair county, Illinois." This MAY be the same couple indexed in the 1850 Mascoutah, St. Clair Co., IL, Census that I posted about here: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/pate/2010-06/1275409751 April

Hi Tami, Is this James Pate represented in the Pate DNA Project? I see that #143833 has James Pate b. c. 1818 in Kentucky as his most distant determined ancestor (currently #36 in list of Y-dna Results). Searching old posts on Pate-L, I found one relating to your James Pate that was of interest to me; the author of it questioned a possible relationship between your James Pate's line and the Pate line in Washington County, Illinois in the 1850s. Do you (or does anyone else on the list) know if that connection was ever disproved? It seems that it may have been from these posts: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/pate/2004-10/1097240749 http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/pate/2004-10/1097181996 Unfortunately, the webpage mentioned in Chandra Dawson Martin's posts (listing Edward M. Pate) no longer exists--or, at least I cannot access it. If your James Pate is the James Pate represented in the Pate DNA Project by #143833, it looks like this is a distinct Pate line. Some of the Washington Co., IL, Pate descendants have tested out in the Edward Pate group. Best regards, April ---- [email protected] wrote: > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Russell P Baker. It's a pretty funny story actually. I had been told that this man named Baker who knew a lot about families in our area would be at the local library next month, so I googled him. He had recently retired from the Arkansas Historical Commission as an Archivist and written a some books. Then I noticed he was coordinator for this "Standridge Reunion" I had never heard of before. Turns out we both descend from Temperance Strandridge! LOL I get to meet him in a couple of weeks. The nicest things have just fallen into place lately. Think I'll enjoy it while it lasts...

Mr. Pate drove a grain truck in Strasburg, Colo., then returned to Loveland and worked for Loveland Feed and Grain for a short period before beginning his 36-year career with Public Service Co. of Colorado. He retired from Public Service in 1986 as a fitter serviceman. He loved his family, fishing, traveling and talking with people. His hobbies included riding his motorcycle and working with stained glass and copper leaves.

This is perhaps more than you wanted to know about the matter. However, on 2 August 2010 I was stricken with convulsions resulting from chronic subdural hematoma (blood clots on the brain surface), which in turn resulted from blood thinner toxicity. An excellent surgical team was able to remove the clots and get me out of danger and on the road to recovery. I have to relearn some fine motor skills like typing, but my speech memory and mental abilities were not permanently impacted. I walk with a cane, more for safety than support.

Thanks for the reply, Wilma. It looks like Wade Hampton Pate stayed in TN; is that correct?

I have a copy of a deed record for Hamilton Pate in Jefferson County, Illinois on 2 Oct 1858 (Book J, p. 256). He sold 240 acres of land to James J. Fitzgerald. There is also an entry at the BLM-GLO website <http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/> for a Hamilton Pate "of Franklin County, Illinois" who purchases land in Hamilton County, Illinois on 1 Jun 1857. I cannot find a Hamilton Pate in the 1850 or 1860 Federal Censuses (in Illinois, anyway). The only Hamilton Pate I'm finding in Illinois Censuses is the one in the Clay County, Illinois Census for 1865-I think this one is the father of Robert Conaway Pate (and several other children between two wives)? Any ideas as to who these 1857/1858 Hamilton Pates in Southern Illinois may be? Thanks for any leads! April

Hi Joel, At the time I copied this article (a chapter) from the internet, it was to study one of my surname's woes in those terribly trying times describing our ancestors' westward movement.
