Deanne, Thank you so very much !!!!! Rev. John Tate died in 1869 and any property after that would be in the name of Synthia Hamilton Tate. Other major surnames I have in the area are: HAMILTON & WALLACE I haven't done very much on either of them though. I would like to find out who the parents of S/Cynthia HAMILTON were. By the way...Where did your Rhoads come from ? Thank you, Rebecca In a message dated 7/5/02 9:52:52 PM Central Daylight Time, mbarker@koyote.com writes: > .
