Dear Pate Researchers, Do any of you know of any reliable books that have been written on the genealogy and history of the Pate family of the United States (especially those of the South)? I am related to many (if not all) of the Pates mentioned in John Ben Pate's "Pate Family In America" (if I got the title correct) and in his "History of Turner County, Georgia". I have the book "History of Turner County, Georgia" and I have the "Pate Book" saved electronically on my computer. I would like to know what, if anything, has been written since John Ben Pate's books. Frankly, I have been told that I can not trust much of what I have read about the early history of the Pate family in North America (written by John Ben Pate), especially what is written about those from Major Thomas Pate to Rev. William Pate. I am a descendent of James D. Pate and Jane "Jincy" Moore, and James D. Pate was supposedly the son of a Rev. William Pate who married a Temperance "Tempty" Parkerson. Who was this Rev. William Pate? Was he a Revolutionary War soldier? Who was his father? Was he a descendent of Major Thomas Pate? Any assistance will be much appreciated. Jeremy Utt Powhatan, VA
