Hi Sharon and Jinks, Nice to hear from you two. Jinks - I've actually written back and forth to you directly prior to being on this mailing list. Thank you for all the info you have given me. My Pate line is in Texas. Elizabeth Pate was born about 1840 in Clark co MS, and her family moved to Leon county TX. Elizabeth's husband, William D. Wornick, was born in AR about 1842, and his family moved to Leon county TX. Soon after William and his family arrived in TX, his parent's each died within a few days of each other in 1857 , leaving orphans, the eldest was William about age 15. The children were then separated among several different relative families (Bond, Terry, and McMillan). The 1860 census below shows that Elizabeth and William were neighbors.

Wornick (according to my father) died when their daughter Una was about 16, which would have been about 1884. I found a Texas marriage which could be my Elizabeth Pate after she was a widow: WILLIAM MILLER and ELIZABETH [Mrs] WARNICK 04 Jan 1887 Comanche TX I haven't been able to find anything further on this Miller family, however, to prove one way or the other. If any of you in Texas could help me fill in any blanks I would appreciate it. I can't find marriage records on William and Elizabeth, as the court house burned down. I haven't found cemetery records for either of them, nor do I have their birth or death dates/places. Thank you, Rebecca

Rebecca, do you have access to the 1900 census? I THINK it is very likely that your family is in Coryell County then. There is a Eugene WARNICK in e.d. 38, 1 J-Pct, Coryell County on page 8A. There is also an Ibner T. WARNICK on page 14B. Ibner is married and has a couple of children. Eugene has his mother Bettie born in Mississippi with him (age is off by a few years but ....). He also has siblings with very unusual names which seem to closely match some of the names on your list. Hope this helps you a little. Sharon

Sharon, No, I don't have access to that census (or most of 1910's, or 1920), and can't locate a copy on the web. In 1910 I found Eugene F. Warnick in Seattle WA, and a WF and Ford T in Coryell, but no other Warnicks/Wornicks. In 1930 I found some of the family in Coryell, Smith and Cherokee counties TX. And yes, that's them. This family had some really odd names that were probably misspelled countless times, and the last name has so many spelling possibilities it's been extremely difficult to trace even using soundex. Thank you very much for this information. Is there any way you could send me their census info for 1900-1920? Again, thank you.
