Hello Folks, I hope everyone on the East Coast is safe from Isabel. Below is a copy of an email from a genpal who is seeking help in finding her PATE family roots. She is not apart of my direct line, and I am still in the process of knotting my family tree branches, so I do not have info to help her, but thought I'd ask the greatest genlist to see if someone has a connection, or just a tidbit of info to help point her in the right direction. We'd really appreciate it. Thanks so much! Sincerely, Tina Christina L. Dodson - Evans "My Family Tree is Full Of Nuts!!!!!!!!!!" I've seen your posts from time to time and have meant to write, but I think this is probably just a long shot. But, here goes: My husband's grandfather was John Balthup Pate (1901-1981), son of Will Daniel & Frances "Frankie" (Holland) Pate. Her mother was Ruby Nell "Nellie" Killion (1902-1979). John & Nellie had two daughters and both were young when he left the family. My mom-in-law was the younger, being only about 4 at the time. Her sister gave me some info before she passed away and that's pretty much all I have to go on. I am not quite sure how the Boswell's fit into the family tree, if at all, but in the 1910 Gibson Co. census, John, age 9, is living as a ward of Walker & Pricie Wilson. Sister Vila May, age 2, is living with grandparents Hiram & Francis Wilson. John's brother George Pate is living with Birthie & Robert Boswell, while Arthur, age 5, is a ward of James D. & Birdie Bowie. I have little other information. I wondered if perhaps the Pates or Boswells you mention could be related to my mother-in-law. Do any of these names sound familiar to you? Thanks very much. Marilyn Nickless
