"Born in 1778 in Big Moccasin Creek, a spur of Clinch Mountain on the Holston River, some 15 miles from Lebanon, Russell County, VA. Son of Robert and Mary Tate. Here he grew up and married Ruth Davidson, daughter of James Davidson (Davison) of Russell and Scott Counties, VA (1826 Scott County, VA Wills), in 1798. It is believed that he migrated to Warren County, TN before his father died in 1806 with Ruth and children. In 1806 he met with some of his brothers (he and four of his brothers, Aaron, Alexander, John and Robert, are listed on the 1820 Warren County, TN tax rolls) and others to petition for a New County where they lived, consequently in 1807 Warren County was organized. James and his brother Robert settled in a remote section of the County, on Taylor Creek, until after he married his second wife (Elizabeth Smith) and moved to the mountains, in what later became Grundy County, TN. He accumulated a considerable amount of land (over 20,000 acres) in the valley, as well as on the Cumberland Plateau where he maintained a distillery. (Warren County was a major producer of apple brandy during his lifetime.) He served in the War of 1812 at the rank of Captain, later promoted to Major and was known as Major Tate from that time on. He served as a Justice of the Peace for Warren County and was prominent in business and public affairs. Warren County Militiamen in the Creek Indian Wars of 1814, Captain James Tait's (Tate) Company, Col. Stephen Copeland's 3rd West Tennessee Regiment, General Thomas Johnson Brigade. The Creek Indian Wars of 1814 were classified by the U. S. Government as a "sub-war' of the War of 1812. Several militia companies were organized from the area of Warren County, TN and it's adjacent counties, including that of Capt. James Tait. Not only did Capt. Tait muster and pay rolls survive, but so did his personal pay voucher which specified dates, actual miles travelled and locations. The militia records of 1814 are particularly valuable to researchers because so many of these men were under 20 years of age--too young to have appeared on the 1812 Warren County tax lists, and often gone by 1820.

He and Elizabeth were the parents of five children. That he was the son of Robert and Mary Tate of Russell Co. VA was recited in a deed dated October 14, 1816, Russell Co., VA, when the heirs of Robert Tate decided to dispose of certain land. James and wife Ruth; John and wife Dicey; Robert and wife Susannah; Alexander and wife Delilah and Mary "Polly" and husband Marady Price, met and sold the land to their brother Joseph Tate. The mother Mary who was also in Warren Co., TN, signed her dower to the son Joseph Tate who remained on the old plantation in Russell Co., VA. Major James Tate also executed a will. He died testate April 19, 1849, buried in Philadelphia Cemetery, 13 miles south of McMinnville, TN. The will was contested, went to the Supreme Court of TN. The widow, Elizabeth received most of the estate. However, all of the children were named.

He divorced Ruth, a matter that went to the TN state legislature, almost unheard of during that era. After the Major's death, his former wife and children by that marriage fought his will (which left them nothing) but lost. The Major owned some 26,000 acres on Grundy Mountain.

JOSEPH3 TATE (ROBERT (JR.)2, ROBERT (SR.)1) was born September 11, 1778 in Botetourt County, VA, and died March 16, 1843 in Lebanon, Russell County, VA. He married MARGARET (MARY) FLOYD. She died Unknown. Notes for JOSEPH TATE: Excerpts from Tate Families of the Southern States, by Laura Mentzel and Ethel Updike, 1984 Joseph Tate was born on Big Moccasin Creed, a spur of Clinch Mountain on the Holston River, near Lebanon, Russell County, VA of Robert and Mary Tate. That his wife was Margaret (Mary) Floyd is indicated by several deeds. On March 25, 1800, Robert Tate and his wife Mary sold to Joseph Tate, 50 acres on both sides of the Big Moccasin Creek, a steep spur of Clinch Mountain, adjacent to William Hullams and Richard Davis. No doubt, a gift, shortly after his marriage. On October 14, 1816, the heirs of Robert Tate, deceased, all residents now, or Warren County, TN, sold to Joseph Tate, the home plantation consisting of 177 acres, it being a part of a tract of land 250 acres patented to Robert Tate on April 20, 1784. Mary Tate, the widow of Robert Tate, of Warren County, TN signed dower to her son, Joseph. On July 15, 1825, Joseph Tate and wife, Margaret of Russell, County, Va sold 100 acres to Elish Tate, on both sides of Big Moccasin Creek. Joseph died March 16, 1843. William Tate who is indebted to Elisha Tate, administrator of the estate of Joseph, sold 177 on which his father Joseph Tate, deceased, lived. On August 23, 1844, John Tate and wife, Jane; Robert C.

He married (1) SUZANNAH. She died Unknown. He married (2) CYNTHIA SCINTHY. She was born 1805 in GA, and died Unknown. Notes for ROBERT HOOD (III) TATE: "Robert was born 1780 on Big Moccasin Creek, a spur of Clinch Mountain near the Holston River. It is thought that his full name was Robert Hood Tate III, but no documentary proof has been found. He was, no doubt, a minor when his father executed his will July 29, 1796. However, no mention was made in the will regarding their ages. He and his wife had been living in Warren County, TN before 1806, since he signed, with his other brother, a petition requesting that there be a new County formed. He and his wife, Susannah wee named in the deed on October 14, 1816 when the heirs of Robert Tate dec'd sold the home plantation. They settled in Warren County, TN near his brother Major James Tate on Taylor's Creek out of McMinnville, Warren County, TN. A descendant stated he was the most active of all the brothers in Civil affairs and had four land grants totalling some 5,190 acres of land. On January 12, 1819 Robert H. Tate sold 150 acres adj. Aaron Tate, where he then lived, to John Gross, no wife signed dower. The Federal Census of 1820, Warren County, TN lists this family with 3 sons and 5 daughters. In 1830 there was still 3 sons, however, one under 10 years of age. They had a large family and only those showing on the 1850 Census are known. He married Cynthia, born 1805, in Georgia. She was living with son Aaron in 1880. Robert Hood Tate died testate in 1864. His will was dated April 8, 1864 in Grundy County, TN. Do not have the probate date. Wife Cynthia, son Aaron V. Tate, and grand daughter Harriet Webb, her small son, Aaron Woodlee Webb. Exor. Sedon Brown. Witness: Enoch Woodlee."

Notes for JOHN TATE: Excerpt from Tate Families of the Southern States, Volume 2, by Laura W. Mentzel and Ethel S. Updike, 1984. John Tate was born about 1783 in Big Moccasin Creek, a spur of Clinch Mountain near Lebanon which later became Russell County, VA. He was mentioned in the will of his father Robert Tate, on July 29, 1796 and signed with his heirs in 1816. He was given the parcel of land southwest of Mill Dam to Ovelton's Road. On February 20, 1801, John Tate purchased from John Wood of Russell County, VA for 25 pounds, 100 acres on Big Moccasin Creek granted to John Wood by Patent on January 1, 1800 adj. John Johnson and a cliff of Moccasin Creek. On July 7, 1807, John Tate and his wife, Leodicie (Dicey) sold 100 acres to Ephraim Johnson of Sullivan County, TN. Also on that same day, John and Dicey completed another transaction with Mary Hogg, believed to be Dicey's mother. Land was assigned to Dicey Hogg by Henry Creek or Cook, before her marriage to John Tate. Signature Leodicie Tate. It is thought they married about that time. On August 6, 1806, John Tate, James, Joseph and Robert Tate signed a petition to have a new County formed. John settled with his brother Alexander on Dry Creek, Warren County, TN and apparently lived there the remainder of his life. On February 13, 1812, Vincent Hobbs of Lincoln County, TN sold to John Tate of Warren County, TN, land on Collins River, witnessed by James Clendenon, and on October 3, 1818, John Tate of Warren County, TN sold to John Tate, land on Collins River witnessed by Alexander Tate. On July 4, 1841, a notation for Edward Hoge, dec'd estate, by James Davidson and Hood Tate. (They were probably Dicey's people.) The only John Tate listed in Warren County, TN in 1820 is over 45 with a large family, 5 sons and 6 daughters; wife 26-45. In 1830 there were 4 sons and as many daughters. In 1845, he had died intestate, a farmer who left few records. He had eleven children.

He lived on Wannamaker Branch, a tributary of the Collins River in Warren County, TN, a planter. In 1820 they had a large family but we know they didn't marry until 1810, consequently it is thought that on their help was counted on the Census. By 1840 they migrated to Dekalb County, AL They lived near Fort Payne, Dekalb County, AL for many years. He died and was buried near the same.

AARON TATE: A personal note is as follows; many of the documents one would expect to find in these estate files are missing, and may never be recovered. In the course of trying to arrange and flatten these files for a forthcoming microfilming, I found that the papers had been misfiled between folders and some were difficult to read from their mishandling and abuse over the years, as well as poor penmanship and some illiteracy on the part of the initiators. For my part, I will hit the highpoints for the purpose of genealogy. I found no documents requesting assignment as Administrator for the Estate and no document where the Bond was signed for the Estate. Aaron's date of death has been given as June of 1862, but I found no confirmation of that. It is clear that by January 12, 1863, Elizabeth Connelly Tate and Elias Killian were the Administrators, because they made application on that date to sell most of the lands of the Estate to Daniel Killian for $900.00. This would include the NE � of the SE �, of Section 14, the NE � of the NW !/4, the SE � of the NW �, the W � of the NW � , and the W � of the SW � , excepting the SW � of the SW � (Description not included - all in Section 13, Township 7 South, Range8 East of the Huntsville Meridian). On January 20, 1863, Elizabeth signed her consent to sell her Third part dower in the lands above. At some point in time, an apprenticeship Bond was entered into the Estate settlement. This Bond was made for the apprenticeship of Thomas Cunningham, a Sixteen year old minor (Born - 16 October 1622), and was signed July 14, 1838. On March 25, 1864, John N. Franklin, Probate Judge, issued citations for the Court to be held the 2nd Monday in April. Summoned were: Elizabeth Killian, wife of Elias Killian; Maburn Tate; Aaron Tate; Robert Tate; Elizabeth Little, wife of William Little; John K. Hoge, Guardian ad Litem of the minor heirs " William Tate (a space) John Tate, Elizabeth Little wife of Thomas Little - decd." Here, is the explanation for a number of things. Ethel Updike had a family chart that listed the Eleven children of Aaron Tate, but in view of the numbers found in the old census records changed it to Fourteen. She likewise indicated that no trace could be found of William. In her Book, Tate Families of the Southern States - Vol. II, she brings in the statement of Hood Tate that Stephen that died at Shiloh was a nephew of John and not a son. Here, I can but draw one conclusion. William Tate was married and had Three children; Elizabeth Louise who married Thomas Little, Stephen who died at Shiloh, and John, who married Elizabeth Weaver and died before May 06, 1863. William and his wife probably both died early on while the children were quite young. On March 02, 1870, the court issued a citation to Elizabeth to file the account for final settlement. Again there are missing documents. A document confirming that James Cunningham and Susannah Cunningham had signed Power of Attorney to J. H. Davis, relating to this Estate, was signed in Comanche Co., Texas May 08, 1871, and was entered in this file. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Notes for ELIZABETH (BECKY) CONNELLY: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Research: Family Search Ancestral Files, (Church of Latter Day Saints), show a Family Group Record on the Connelly (Conley) family.
