All Hands, I am making every effort to contact her son David. Do not have an e-mail address for him and his old phone number is no longer in service. Have sent him a letter inquiring into the research data of his mother. For all of you out there, Margaret and I shared the same great-great-grandfather and g-g-grandmother. William T. Pate, b. 1811 in NC. Joe Neal Pate In a message dated 7/22/2010 4:06:29 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Someone should try to find out what they are doing with her research. Perhaps they will donate them to a Library so every one can use them. So many times the children just trash them, then in later years they wish they had preserved then.

She was absolutely a great asset to Pate research. She was still driving into eastern Tenn cities and sites to do research until her late 80s. She was gererous with her information and sources. She also was determined to do the Pate research right. I do hope that someday someone in her line will work everything out.!
