I went to Heritage Quest Online and found Thomas and Katie Pate in the 1930 Census. In 1930 they had 5 children listed---William B age 15, James age 12(I think this should be Jane. There was a Jane in the 1920 Census listed as age 2 and 8/12), Richard E. age 8, Frank R. age 6 and Hyburnia age 3. In the 1920 Census they also had a daughter named Henrietta age 11, Bertha D. age 8 and a Katie E. age 11/12 months(she must have died as she's not listed in the 1930 Census) I hope this helps you in your search.
