Nita I have this same note in my files but not as well documented as you have it. This John Pate apparently had a son who in turn had a son named Rufus M Pate. Rufus M Pate is the known ancestor of a participant in the Pate DNA Project.

Capt. John Craig's Fort (1785 - 1790's), Maryville, TN A small blockhouse surrounded by a two-acre stockade. This was the original settlement of the town. In 1793 over 280 settlers took refuge here for several months during an Indian seige. Sam Houston once lived here as a youth with his widowed mother and eight siblings sometime around 1807. Marker on Church Street.

Through the grace of God and the skill of your doctors, you have made a remarkable recovery, and we will be trusting that you will be up to full strength soon.

R. Pate, who came to Weleetka community in 1900, died at the family home in this city Sunday after being in ill health for several months. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. C. O. Bigbie at the First Baptist church Tuesday afternoon and the internment was made in the Hillcrest cemetery, the Weleetka Funeral Home in charge. John Robert Pate was the son of Bird and Susan Pate of Jamestown, Ark, and was born July 4th, 1880. He married Virginia Cullens in 1899. The family came to Indian Territory in 1900. He had been a member of the Baptist church since a youth. When Mr. Pate came to Weleetka community, he farmed for a number of years, moving to town in 1916. He served as custodian of the Weleetka school property for a number of years until his health failed. Survivors are the wife, Mrs. Virginia Pate; one son, Marvin Pate of Edmond; two sisters, Mrs. J. W. Lassiter of Dallas, Texas, and Mrs. Jennie Barnes of Desha, Ark. and one brother, Bill Pate of Okmulgee. Nita's Notes: I have repeatedly mistakenly stated that J. R. Pate lived and died in Edmond, OK. This obituary states his son Marvin Pate was the one who lived in Edmond, OK. Each of this family's obituaries states Mollie Pate's name as Mrs. J. W. Lassiter. Wonder if she was still married to Mr. Lassiter whereas Jennie Pate is listed as Jennie Barnes, perhaps Jennie's husband had died or she was divorced. Jennie Pate Barnes apparently did not migrate to OK with the others. John Robert Pate, his wife, Virginia (Virgie/Vergie), Marvin and Melvin Pate are buried together in a dedicated plot in the Hillcrest Cemetery. Bird, Susan Hankins Pate, son, Wm. D. (Bill/Willie) and an unnamed baby, buried at Susan Pate's feet, who apparently was born and died in 1931, are buried together in another plot in a separate area of Hillcrest Cemetery. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2010 13:03:51 -0400 From: [email protected] Subject: [PATE] Obituary for Marvin Pate b. 1908, d. 1950 To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Funeral Rites Held For Marvin Pate Marvin Pate, 42, residing the past years in Edmond, Okla, was born at Hobson, south of Weleetka, April 12, 1908, and died April 24, 1950, suddenly of a heart attack. Mr. Pate's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Pate moved from Hobson to Weleetka where he graduated from the Weleetka High School. In March 26, 1930, Marvin Pate married the former Miss Madeline Capart, at Weleetka. Funeral Rites for Marvin Pate were held Wednesday, 2:30 o'clock, at the First Baptist Church. Service were under the direction of the Weleetka Funeral Home, with Rev. H. D. Stephens, officiating. Internment was made at the Weleetka Cemetery. Survivors are his wife, Madeline, daughter Phyllis Jean, son, R. T. Pate and mother, Mrs. J. R. Pate. Nita's notes: Wm. D. Pate, brother of J. R. Pate, uncle of Marvin and Melvin Pate, is not noted as a survivor in this obituary also although he didn't die until 1951. The family may not have known where he was and presumed him deceased. Wm.

Yes, Virginia "Virgie" Viola Cullins Pate was wife of John Robert Pate, who was son of Bird and Susan Hankins Pate. Several years ago, I obtained these obituaries on the Bird and Susan Hankins Pate's family from Mr. McGarr in Weleetka. For years, Mr. McGarr and his wife scoured newspaper archives both locally and in Oklahoma City, OK, for obituaries of Okfuskee Co., OK, residents and probably for others, also. He was kind enough to share obituaries of both sides of Bill's birth family. At the time I thought Mr. McGarr was being coy with me since what I really wanted was an obituary on Wm. D. Pate, giving us a death date. Apparently there is no obituary for him. When he died in 1951 there may have been no one still alive in the family close enough to him to care. His death certificate, which we recently obtained, states he was shipped back to Weleetka for burial and he is listed as "Bill Pate" in the cemetery records. The one really surprising statement was in Susan Hankins Pate's obituary stating she had 3 sons and 2 daughters. Even Jinks didn't know about the 3rd son. Perhaps it was a still-born or died young. Bird Pate was still living and perhaps gave the obituary information. Thanks for the comments. Sometimes the obits don't give enough information. Sometimes obituaries are a goldmine of information and sometimes they are wrong. I made several vital errors in my own mother's obituary. Once out, difficult to correct. Hope you are recovering well and taking it slow. We need your insight and input.
