Joe: Looking at the 1900 census of Marlboro Co SC makes me think that the third wife of Harris Pate was Mrs. Sarah Jane PARHAM. There are three people in the household. [Enum Dist 89, sheet 8, Brightsville, site 137/137] Harris Pate 78 Head Sarah J Pate 63 Wife of head of house Samuel Parham 33 son in law to head of house The enumeration for Sarah J Pate has notations that she had been married 53 years, had delivered 13 children 7 of who were alive in 1900. By the way - you may consider adding an 8th child to Harris Pate and Margaret Adams. A son, Harris R Pate b ca Nov 1859 d Aug 1860 of unspecified fever. Source: 1860 census mortality schedule. He would have been the 5th child, third son. The third son was often the "Jr" named for the father in English, Scots, Irish and Welsh origin families in North America 1800-1900. Joel
