Lucilious Green Pate, b. Nov 1826, d. 1910 md (1) Lucinda Badgley (2) 1897, Martha A (??)-Clariday Children: Mary Emmeline, b. 1849 Sarah A Pate, b. 1849 Martha Matilda , b. 1853 Serrelda Jane, b. 1855 Sarah Elizabeth, b. 1855 Cordelia, b. 1859 Martha , b. 1867 L G is said to have married 3 times, and 2nd to Mary E Payton - but according to the census record, he only married twice, and in 1900 and 1910 his wife is shown as Martha A - and quite a bit younger than he is. L G served in the Civil War and applied for a pension in 1890 from MO - his widow, MARY E PATE, also applied for a widow's pension in 1910. Did he possibly divorce Mary E Pate, and she applied for the pension after he died? The Civil War pension record would, no doubt, help on this, they are sometimes a goldmine of information. This family was in 1850 St Clair Co, IL; 1860 Williamson Co, IL; 1870 Washington Co, IL; 1900 & 1910 Jefferson Co, IL - I have not been able to find them in 1880, which would be a great help. There are several more children attributed to this family, but they do not show up in the census records, and should be there in 1870. Martha Clariday Pate evidently had only the one child by her first marriage, Mary Clariday, b. 1889. Does anyone have help on this family? Jinks
