So far this is all I have found on Burwell (Burell) Pate . He was born 1805 - 1815 where and when unknown, most likely VA . He was the son of John Pate born 1780 and Rebecca Pate born 1785 VA. John and Rebecca were married 12 May 1812 Sussex Co. VA. Rebecca daughter of Edward Pate (1742 - 1805) and Lucretia Adams (1750 VA - ?). Edwards children: Harbert, Hardy, Cordy, Edmund, Rebecca, Lucy, Henry, Hartwell, and Edward. Edwards will was 22 February 1773 Augusta Co. VA. Edwars will made probate 29 October 29 October 1804. Probate continued to 4 April 1805 Sussex Co. VA. This will was witnessed by William Pate ( whom I believe to be Peterson's Father) and Peterson Pate. Peterson Pate was my great great grandfather on my paternal side and my great great great grandfather on my maternal side. Edward was the son of Thomas 1705 VA - 1774 VA and Mary ( maiden name unknown). This is the only Burwell (Burell) Pate I have in my records at this time. Margaret Lindly
