Erma - according to another researcher on this line of Pate's - Beverly Archie Pate is the son of Richard Dabney Pate & Mary Elizabeth Belcher -- in the 1860 Butler Co, KY census there is a son, Beverly, age 14, listed with the family. Richard D & Mary Pate are in the 1870 Ohio Co, KY census and in 1880, the wife is listed in Butler Co, KY and Richard is listed in 1880 Henderson Co, KY - so it is possible they divorced. Beverly is in Butler Co, KY from 1880 to 1920. He md (1) Christina Lula Bell Baxter and (2) Catherine Sorrels-Cristy - she was evidently the widow Cristy as there were 2 Cristy step children listed in 1880 with the family. Cordie Delia Pate is listed as Agnes C age 5 in the 1900 census. Hope this is of help. Jinks
