It's interesting that my husband's Pates were in Carter County also about this time. They were in Healdton, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory in 1900. I don't believe that there is a connection, however. My husband's came from Georgia to Texas to Indian Territory. I do think that I noticed a Pate I couldn't identify in an Ardmore directory - probably 1939 or 1946 directory. I asked my mother-in-law about him but she couldn't remember any other Pate family in town. Now I wonder if he was one of yours.
