I don't know whether anyone on the list is looking for PATE in New England, but I just stumbled upon these two entries and thought I'd post them. PATE, ABIGAIL Date of Birth: 05/01/1758 Township: Newport County: Newport Co. PATE, PRISCILLA Date of Birth: 03/02/1756 Township: Newport County: Newport Co. These are from "Rhode Island - Birth Index (1640-1976)" posted on genealogy.com this month. Warning: this is NOT a comprehensive list of births. Sharon
