Jinks: To prime the pump- In AL51 you show that Charles R Pate md 2 times. 1st to Emily ---- and 2nd to Sarah (perhaps Hembree). Some questions- Could the Emily (1850 census of Forsyth Co GA) actually be a sister, Emeline Pate? You show Emeline, dau of Isaac Lewis Pate and Sarah Jenkins as md to a Mr. Lewis 1850 census of Forsyth Co GA, Dist 31, p 214A, site 968/968 shows: H W Lewis 25 b GA Deany Lewis 19 b SC Elsey W Lewis 2 b GA Emeline Lewis 6m b GA H W Lewis perhaps is a son of Elsey W or E W Lewis. What are your thoughts on this Deany Lewis being Emeline Pate? Finally, look at the index for 1840 SC. Was the Mrs Sally Pate in Sumter Co the widow Sarah Jenkins Pate? The name Bryant or Byrant Pate kind of makes me think of the Neuse River NC Pates as does the name Dean or Deans. Joel
