I havn't gotten anything new since Christmas. Is everyone taking a holiday? If so please keep an eye out for the Pates of Madison Co Al and Dyer Co Tn who married Clarks (1819), Millers, Ruckers, Fitzhughs. I do think that Mathew D. Pate is the son of Stephen D. Pate and that he has 8 brothers and sisters one of whom is Polly Pate Miller. Jinks don't you want to travel to Gibson Co and visit the chancery court? There is a James Pate bn1819 who is buried there with Bolin Pate and his wife. (No know relation.) Meredith
