Teresa - noticed your posting on Pate-L In the 1850 Dale Co, AL census records there is Martha Pate age 25, b. GA Jeremiah Pate age 3, b. FL Elizabeth Pate age 1, b. AL It appears Martha is a widow. in the 1860 Santa Rosa, FL census records Jas L Bryan Martha Bryan, b. GA Jeremiah Pate age 13, b. FL Malinda Pate age 11 b. AL So it seems Martha Pate remarried to Jas Bryan, and Elizabeth M is Elizabeth Malinda Pate. Couldn't find a Jeremiah who fits as being Martha's first husband, but maybe this will help a little or give you a clue. Jinks
