Dot Barnum posted a URL that bears repeating; http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/lincoln/churches/goshen.txt This site has an excellent history of Goshen Church, which was and still is in Lincoln Co GA. Pate families from the Carolinas settled in Lincoln Co GA, on or near a stream known as Soap Creek. This church history is almost required reading if you trace your Pate lineage to James M Pate of Fayette Co GA (Coosa Cousins) or if you trace back to the Charles R Pate line of Morgan Co GA, Tuscaloosa/Pickens/Walker Co AL, Itawamba Co MS and points in TX, AR, MO and OK. One can't help but wonder what dear cousin Phoebe did to get herself excluded. Excellent reading, especially if you also read Pate-L archives material on the early GA Land Lotteries and 1796-1810 GA tax rolls.
