He married Loucretia Edwards in Macon Co, IL in 1836. They moved along with her parents to JoDavis Co, IL which was the Wisconsin Territory (1838). They all removed to Jackson Co, IA. Unfortunately, he died in 1848 and he only had two children. Not much family to follow. But, I am trying to find his parents. Supposedly, he was born in Buncombe, NC abt 1814. Anyway, Jacob Pate who removed from Dearborn Co, IN to JoDavis Co to Jones Co, IA. He married Emma Hamilton in 1832/33 (I have you as source on that). I have his birth year as Abt 1790. Jacob had a brother Henry who was in Dearborn Co, IN to Dubuque Co, IA in 1840. Both were vets of the War of 1812. I have nothing that proves that Jacob, Jesse and Henry are linked, but can't help but feel that they are. Still searching. Aanother reason I was so interested in Davis - one he was from Dearborn Co and because he was in Jewell Co, KS - you say in 1880. My 3gr grandfather Thomas Jefferson Wilson left Jackson Co, IA and removed to Jewell Co, KS. His family is listed in the 1880 census. Thomas was born in Decatur Co, IN. I have a couple family lines from that area of IN. Carol ====================================================== My great-grandfather, Jesse Pate, was born 8 Nov. 1820 in Buncombe County, NC. The area later became Yancey County. He remained in western NC dying in Cherokee County 24 Dec. 1903. I have seen where some researchers have listed his birth as 1814-1820 and may be confusing two Jesses. I have been unable to find any PATEs in Buncombe County prior to 1830, with the exception of Jesse's father. John Pate served in Capt. Lowry's Co., of the NC Militia under the name of John Randolph (his stepfather's surname). Between the Compiled Military Service Record and the War of 1812 pension application we can place him in Buncombe County (later Yancey) as early as 3 June 1808.
