According to the will there was a Lucy but according to the settlement she wasn't mentioned. I have Parson & sister Polly Pate in Bedford Co TN, Elizabeth Sledge in Williamson Co Tn & Nancy Sammons inRowan Co NC. All mentioned in the settlement. Nothing on Lucy. Sorry. Also Jeremiah doesn't seem to be one of the names used by my Pates. Different branch . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen Borden" <karenborden@sbcglobal.net> To: <PATE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 29, 2006 3:57 PM Subject: Re: [PATE GENEALOGY] Hardy Pate > Helen, > Is there anything you can tell me about Lucy?
