Margaret: Some questions and notes on the Peterson Pate line. Marion Franklin Pate 16 Apr 1852 - 29 Mar 1929 Was he the second child, first son of Elijah Moseley Pate and Nancy Pollard Medlock? In your opinion did Elijah Moseley Pate die after the 1860 census perhaps in or near Don Pedros Twsp, Tuolumne Co., CA? Was Peterson Pate Jr, b AL ca 1824, the older brother of Elijah Moseley Pate? Was Peterson Pate Jr also enumerated in the 1860 census of Don Pedros Twsp, Tuolumne Co., CA? I have the children of Elijah Moseley Pate and Nancy Pollard Medlock as: Amanda Jane Pate 1849-1976 Marion Franklin Pate 1852-1929 Wiley Edward Pate 1855-1927 Sarah Pate 1856 Katie Pate 1861 Did Nancy Pollard Medlock Pate, the wife of Elijah Moseley Pate, subsequently marry James D Johns? [See Williamson Co TX census 1880, page 466, ED 157, Prct 2, site 122/124] Did Marion Franklin Pate marry twice? 1st Sarah Prudence Goff 1856-1911 2nd Phoebe Adeline Breeden 1897-1987 Marion Franklin Pate and Phoebe Adeline Breeden were enumerated in the 1920 census of Bandera Co TX. They were indexed as POLE not PATE. See 1920 Bandera Co., Enum Dist 8, page 13B. Precinct 3, site 244/248 as M F POLE (PATE) Adeline POLE (PATE) Mosely F POLE (PATE) Calvin POLE (PATE) Interesting that the name "Mosely or Moseley" is repeated. The Calvin Pate here is no doubt the Calvin Pate 9 Dec 1918-4 Aug 2001 that Sharon Fitzpatrick reported the delayed birth certificate for. Phoebe Adeline Breeden Pate, widow of Marion Franklin Pate, was enumerated with her children in the 1930 census of Williamson Co., TX as: Adeline Pate 34 b TX 1895 Franklin Pate 14 b TX 1915 Calvin Pate 11 b TX 1918 Johnie Pate 9 b TX 1920 Jimmie Pate 7 b TX 1922 Julie Pate 5 b TX 1924 Lydia Pate 2 b TX 1927 See Enum Dist 246-6, page 4a, Bartlett, site 88/89 Joel
