More on the Pate's from Dyer Co, TN The 1860 Dyer Co, TN Mortality Schedule shows M B Pate, Male, age 33, b. AL, died Jun 1860 of pneumonia Stephen Pate, Male, age 35, b. AL, died May 1860 of pneumonia In Jan 1861 John H Holliburton & Lovey Brown sell land to the HEIRS OF MATHEW B PATE -- (heirs are not listed) I THINK these two are sons of James Pate, even tho others seem to think Matthew "D" Pate is his son, and I had mistakenly placed him there. That leaves the other two - from cemetery records Stephen D Pate b. 30 Jul 1820, d. 2 Mar 1851 M D Pate, b. 13 Aug 1823, d. 27 Feb 1892 In Feb 1854 Scota/Sciota & Wm J McCoy sell to Matthew D Pate -- their 8th interest in the Estate of her brother, Stephen D Pate, dec'd --- That still leaves the question - who was the father of Matthew D, Stephen D and Sciota Pate McCoy??

Jinks, There seems to be a problem. My notes say that Mathew D. Pate who is the son of Stephen Pate mentioned in the Gibson Co Chancery Court proceedings (sister is wife of William Miller) is married twice. First to Ann D. Sampson (bn 24 Feb 1831 and died 29 March 1863. Their son is Mathew Watson Pate bn 01 Dec 1861 and died 15 Nov 1934 in Ft. Smith Ark Second to Elizabeth Moore Davis bn 27 Nov 1834 and who died 20 Jan 1879. Their son is John York Pate bn 28 Oct 1877 and died 21 June 1961. Also it does seem that the 1860 mortality list includes the Stephen Pate bn Alabama in 1826 and living with James Pate in 1850. My current belief is that Stephen Pate bn 1826 and listed as an "idiot" is not the son of James Pate but one of the children of the Stephen Pate married to Jane Milliken. It is unlikely that she would immediately have one child in 1815 and then not have another until 1831 (Cain with Stephen's brother Mathew Pate). And it does seem likely that the Mathew Pate noted as one of the three children of Jane Milliken in the Dyer histories (and who declares himself the son of Stephen in the 1850s) is the son of Stephen. I tend to believe that for whatever reason (most likely the deaths of both Jane Milliken Pate (widow of Stephen Pate)and her 2nd husband Mathew Pate), James Pate took in some of the children of Stephen Pate and Jane Milliken. My Henderson Clark whose wife Elizabeth Pate is dead took in E. Cain Pate the one known son of Jane Milliken Pate and her husband Mathew Pate. There is no doubt in the Dyer mind that the three men, Andrew Jackson Pate bn 1815, Mathew Pate and E Cain Pate are brothers. Keep searching!
