Hi everybody! I'm new to the list and I'm looking for more information on my Pate family. Here is my pedigree: My grandmother (and the list of male ancestors below): Chevis Pate 1894-1942 Felix CraytonPate 1860-1906 Peyton Jerome Pate 1818 1873 Stephen Allison Pate 1768 1846 Anthony Pate 1740 1805 Edward Pate 1713 1767 Any help is always appreciated. Thank you. Woodrow Bryant Hood

I spent time today with Jim Lasseter. He is very enjoyable/ interesting person ( naturally since he is of Pate blood). I held his powder horn / and took pictures Anyone wishing more information please contact me by my personal email. < [email protected] > Johnette Pate McDuffie

Wanted to make it clear that I have not researched any specific Pates back into Scotland. All I've done, which is something I commonly do, is run the Pate surname on the www.scotclans.com website's "What's My Clan" search link. I enjoy reading the information found for this or any other surname. The "Pate short for Patrick" info comes from the Scottish website. I'm not sure if this is a historical fact or not. What it does allow, if your surname is Pate, you can join the US MacLaren Clan without proof of descent from anyone, including a Scot. Most of us would have a hard time proving descent from a Scot, especially if they emigrated to the US prior to Revolution. I apologize in advance if this type post is considered off topic. To me it leans toward heritage, not biology.

My Pate`s came from around Edinburgh Scotland ,namely George born 1760 married 1792 St, Cuthberts Edinburgh . Son George born 1791 Linlithgow Bo`ness and his son George born 1811 at Ratho and was a shoemaker . His sons John and George came to Australia c1860 . Thankyou John for the info about the Pate name . Laurie Thompson ----- Original Message ----- From: AJ To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, June 07, 2010 9:16 AM Subject: [PATE] Scotland, Clans, and the Pates John, You wrote: "I believe that the majority of Pate descendants are of English descent; however, a few did come from the land up north. Could they have been run out of Scotland by the English Pates?" Your question is confusing to me. Could you explain a little more about your reasoning? I have seen mentions of "Pate" as a shortened form of "Patrick" in some surname dictionaries, but have never seen anything very convincing. One old dictionary did mention that this was used in Scotland, but did not clarify whether as a given name or surname or both. I have seen Pate used as a given name even in writings of hundreds of years ago, and there are also more modern uses as a given name, though I suspect those are based on the surname of friends and relatives. In any case, it is a fascinating search to determine the origin of our surname, which will never be proven conclusively, but your suggestion would certainly be one of the possibilities. Then, though not highly probable in my opinion, our surname could have had several different origins, in different regions or countries. I have the "shorter" edition (only two large volumes) of the Oxford English Dictionary, and its definition of "pate" does not mention any connection to Patrick. It does state that the word is from the Middle English period, that is c. 1150 to c. 1500, though its origin is unknown. If anyone owns or has access to the complete 20-volume edition of OED ("the definitive record of the English language"), please post its complete "pate" entry on the Listserve or send to me privately. There are some surprising definitions of "pate" there and elsewhere. I have not done any research in Scotland, so know nothing about the history of the Pate family there. What is the earliest use of Pate as a surname that you have been able to find in Scotland? Also Ireland and Wales if you have them. We currently have nearly 140 members in the Pate DNA Project. Only six list their most distant documented ancestors as being born outside the United States -- three in England and one each in Scotland, Wales, and France. Two of the three in England still live there. Obviously, we could gain a great deal of knowledge about our family origins and emigrations if we could only get more members from England and other parts of the former British Empire and other countries in Europe. For all subscribers of the Listserve, any help in gaining new members from the UK would be greatly appreciated. Several times I have made individual direct mailings to Pate's living in the UK, Australia, South Africa, etc. (using email addresses obtained from sites like Zoominfo), probably 50 to 100 each time, and I can't recall getting a single response. I always expected that I would get a few responses at least, if nothing more than as a simple courtesy, but I guess my expectations are too high. The apparent total lack of interest is puzzling. In research for my paper on Sir John Pate, as I've mentioned before, I gathered a lot of material on the Pate family in England. I intend to attempt developing genealogies for the different Pate families in England, establishing whatever links I can between them, then links to the Pate's emigrating to colonial Virginia. That will likely take some time. Before that, I want to post the information I have compiled on the possible origins of the Pate surname and its earliest use. A. J.

Jim, You can request the person who entered your ancestors information to transfer the record maintaince to you. They may agree to do just that. Then you can make the family connections. If you don't ask, you will not receive and the worst thing that could happen is they say no. That has never killed me, maybe disappointed. I have had good luck in getting some of my ancestors records transferred. Some people just like to enter the information from cemetery records, some actually go to the cemetery and do a survey.

Glad to hear from you, Joel ! This Jim is retired, his wife works in Atlanta and they spend time back & forth from Amboy( from what I was told, but this person wasn't really too acquainted with him). From someone's suggestion of his place of residence I had to travel off the highway about 2 miles back in the woods & fields, on a one- horse dirt field road and came to a locked gate ( road continued but as far as I could see, no sign of homeplace). There was a mailbox with name Lasseter one it. So I wrote him a note and placed it in . Hopefully, as soon as he gets home he will get in touch with me.( I saw no electric lines). My source of information said they had seen him at Ashburn Library. So I went there to see if librarian knew him, or if he had placed info in family files there - no to both. But, It felt good to be out 'searching' again.

Get well, Joel Bill Pate ----- Original Message ----- From: AJ<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Friday, June 04, 2010 7:20 AM Subject: [PATE] Joel -- Get well soon! Having not heard from Joel for several days and missing his posts on the Listserve, I was beginning to be concerned about him, so gave him a call at his home early Thursday evening, apparently about the same time as Melanie was posting her message. I was happy and relieved to hear him answer the phone. He sounded a little tired but otherwise was looking forward to getting his full strength back in a few days. As he put it, he had to come home to get well. It is at times like this, when out of commission for a few days, you fully realize how valuable and irreplaceable a resource that Joel is for the Pate family. It should also deepen our gratitude for his tireless and unselfish contributions to Pate genealogy in general, as well as to individual persons seeking answers for their personal genealogies. My best wishes to Joel for a speedy return to his usual strength and vigor. A. J.
