Everything I know about computers is from being self-taught over the past 30 years of being online in some fashion or another, so not to worry - as I have found over the years, there's always someone willing to teach us new 'tricks of the trade'! :) Laynie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Johnette McDuffie" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2010 2:45 AM Subject: Re: [PATE] Wm. Pate Powder Horn "1773" Thank you so very much Laynie. I may have/or not/ mentioned I have very poor computer skills. I am a retired teacher - but I did not teach computer skills ! I use my computer mainly as a word processor to record my research & book writings. But for this day and times, I wish I'd been wiser and learned computer skills! Thank you for making it easier for me.

Pate Powder Horn "1773" Johnette, Whenever you see pictures over the text like that, decrease your text size in your browser. Here it is copy/pasted for you. Laynie In the pamplet, American Geneology of the Pate Family, published sometime between 1914-1917, author John Ben Pate refers to William Pate's powder horn. He states on page 8, "On the 29th day of january, 1777, he volunteered in the Revolution for a term of three years. He served in Capt. Robert Fenner's company, Second North Carolina Battalion, commanded by Col. John Patton. He was stationed at Camp White Plains, N.C., Sept. 9, 1778 (Adj. Genl.'s Office). The old powder horn then used is in the possession of A. and S.E. Pate, Amboy, Ga." In the same publication, John Ben Pate again refers to the powder horn in a tribute to his father, Bennet Pate (page 19). Speaking of Bennet Pate he states, "His grandfather, Rev. William Pate, was a soldier of the Revolutionary War and the old powder horn then used now hangs on the walls of the old home." The "old home" in Amboy, Ga. was occupied at the time by A. Pate, S.E. Pate, and thier mother Katherine Rainey Chandler Pate. They all lived in the "old home" until their deaths. A third mention of this powder horn is in John Ben Pate's History of Turner County. On page 116 he restates the information quoted above from page 8 of the Pate Genealogy. At some point, John Ben Pate, living across the road from the "old home" in Amboy, acquired the powder horn. It was in his possession for a period of time before his death. The powder horn was given to my mother, Evelyn Haman Lasseter, the daughter of John Ben's sister, Jane Pate. Jane Pate died in 1917 when my mother was three years old. Acording to my mother, "Uncle Ben" scratched and inscription in the curve of the horn a few years before his death, "Wm Pate 1773". This distinguished William Pate's powder horn from others at the old home. The powder horn is now in my possession. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Johnette McDuffie" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2010 1:33 AM Subject: Re: [PATE] Wm. Pate Powder Horn "1773" 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.
