Thanks for the reply, Wilma. It looks like Wade Hampton Pate stayed in TN; is that correct? And, you must have been able to verify that there was a transcription error in the copy of Booker Pate's will posted here <http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/pate/1999-01/0916697824> on Pate-L on 18 Jan 1999--that Booker's son was (Wade) Hampton and not "Hamilton" Pate? If so, that will certainly save me from going down yet another rabbit trail! Somehow, my Pate line is related to Jinks' (and yours)--just don't know how or how closely these lines are related, Thanks for your help, April -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Monday, August 23, 2010 8:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PATE] Some Hamilton Pates of Southern Illinois, 1857 & 1858 This is my line.
