Stephen, Could you please provide some kind of link or title of documentation we can look up which leads to where the extortion of Chambersburg citizens by Henry Clay PATE is discussed? There are 3 of us interested in seeing what this extortion was about, one of us being a Historian/History Professor at Penn State, Mont Alto. He thinks this may have had to do with the running of illegal moonshine thru the mountains here.

What you have written sounds as though you are saying Henry Clay Pate was court-martialed for extorting money from the citizens of Chambersburg. Not so. Stuart took sides with Brig. Gen. Thomas Rosser during a feud with Henry Clay Pate that resulted in Pate being court-martialed, but it was not because he extorted any money from the citizens here. http://www.historynet.com/battle-of-yellow-tavern.htm/1 Laynie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pate, Stephen" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, May 23, 2010 4:59 PM Subject: Re: [PATE] Famous Pates In confederate service he extorted money from the citizens of chambersburg pa.

The biography previously posted included a mocking article or reminiscence by a Cincinnati newspaperman about Henry Clay Pate announcing himself as an author in about 1853 or 1854 in Cincinnati. The 1850 Census for Boone County, VA, listed Edmond Pate, age 67 and occupation as "writing". His son William D. Pate was listed as age 22 and his occupation as writing. His son Henry K. Pate was listed as age 17 and a student. Also in the household was Paul C. Reed, age 43 and occupation as writing, and Roseer McCarter, age 20 and occupation as writing. This is the first time I have seen "writing" as a listed occupation, much less four persons with that occupation in the same household. There is undoubtedly an interesting story about how this family became a household of self described writers and a story which would explain why Henry Clay Pate would be willing to present himself to the world as an author, especially in a rough river city like Cincinnati where he would be subjected to the kind of ridicule expressed in the newspaperman's article.
