Jim Lasseter a descendant of Rev. William Pate, recently posted information and photographs of Wm. Pate's Powder Horn at Ancestry. There are excellent photographs included. I recommend viewing and downloading these photos. http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~jimlasseter/powderhornpage.html One Question? Why engrave "1773" on the powder horn?

John, do you know how to get in touch with this Jim Lasseter? Supposely, Bennett Pate - John Ben Pate's brother ended up with the powder horn, which is now in the possession of Bennett's widow, Francis Buice Pate of Amboy. She is still living and I have been to her house and have pictures of her and the powder horn( last year I think). I have also been wondering who might have John Ben's notes/research and this Jim Lasseter might have them. John Pate sister, Jane married a James Monroe Haman, that's as far as I have taken that line because John Ben's Uncle John Thomas is my line. I couldn't read all the web site for the pictures were over writing.
