Joel, Do you have a copy of that marriage bond of John Pate and Rebecca Pate showing Kinchen Felts as bondman? In Margaret's records; Rebecca's uncle Thomas listing of children didn't show a "John", but quite surely there would be other siblings in the community besides Edward and his brother Thomas, that may have a son John. The name of Kinchen Felts as bondman would make sense also as Thomas' wife Mary was a Felts. Could there be another child of Thomas & Mary after Jordan 1773, that would be the closer age to Rebecca 1785? Also Edmund's name, in Margaret's list of Edward's children, was not mentioned in the will. Is there record of death for him? This puzzlement feels like it's on the edge of being changed....soon maybe deb -----Original Message----- From: Helen Pate Ross <ross@empowering.com> Sent: Apr 10, 2005 8:28 AM To: PATE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PATE GENEALOGY] Pate/Hail REbeccah Pate aughter of Edward Pate had a son Burrell no mention of who his father was .
