Does anyone have Tates in Vermont, Ohio, or Indiana? My William R. Tate was born in Grand Isle, VT on 3 Oct 1827, died 8 Dec 1888 in Roanoke, Huntington Co. IN. He worked his way from VT, through OH, then on to IN working on the Lackawanna Railroad. Can find nothing on him before 1851 in Stark Co. OH. Pam

I have a Julia Florance Tate who was married to a John William Roberts. She was born Dec 23 1823 Married Apr 2 1843 or 1845 - found records with both years - think it was transcriped wrong - Died Feb 23 1865 - all supposedly in New Albany, Floyd Co., IN. He was a riverboat captain and died in Little Rock, Ark. They are both buried near his parents in New Albany, In. I have yet to find any verification of her birth or her parents. I was told that she was raised by a family with the last name of Peck, but still haven't located them either. They had 8 children - one of which was Moses Isaac Roberts who is my ancestor - he married in Galena, LaPorte Co., Ind and died in Jan 1895 in Williams, Ind he was born Nov 11 1852 and was the 4th child. I have guessed connecting Julia Florance Tate to an unknown Tate and a mother with the maiden name of Lapping. There were some Tates based out of Virginia went through Ky and into In and I have found wills and references to their male children and some of the female children by name - most of the females are just noted as daughters. Please let me know if you run into her name referenced any place. Thank you, Claire Abel
