Margaret: Apparently Thomas J Pate (1845-1898) of Gibson Co TN married (6 Aug 1863) Aldonza A Glascock (1843--1872). Did he also marry Sarah Tennessee (Tennie) Glascock (b ca 1845)? Married perhaps 7 Mar 1872 in Gibson Co TN. Thomas J Pate (1845-1898) of Gibson Co TN had several children. Among them were. Stephen Pate b Aug 1864 remained in Gibson Co TN Gilbert Pate b Mar 1865 d 25 Mar 1913 (Hood Co TX) Electra Pate (f) b ca 1869 Elista Pate (f) b ca 1870? Ecclesiastes C Pate b 4 Mar 1870 d 30 Nov 1950 (Hood Co TX) Timothy Pate b ca 1875 Thomas Tertulus (Tulie) Pate b ca 1878 remained in Gibson Co TN Thomas J Pate and family appears to have been enumerated twice in the 187- census of Gibson Co TN. In one listing (page 497) there was a 6 month old female, Elista Pate, in the other listing (page 499) the child is a 3 month old female baby. In both cases the child is a female. I suspect that this child was actually Ecclesiastes C Pate, a male. Interestingly, in one listing (page 499) There is a Tenia Glascock age 28 enumerated. In my opinion this was Sarah Tennessee (Tennie) Glascock, a sister in law and future bride of Thomas J Pate.
