Another point on this matter is the wife NANCY. QUESTION is, is her maiden name Nancy Easley? Records show she was born in Mississippi, but they married in VA. WE all know this did not happen that way. The Fact is that this John Tate (# 1051) had a grandson named John Tate, that did in fact marry a Nancy Easley from MS. Of that fact there are plenty of records, and some may have mixed up the two. Another known fact is that A Nancy Tate (Maiden name unknown) , that had children with this John Tate, did in fact travel with several of their children from SC to Spanish West Florida (now SE LA and SW MS. Nancy was listed in one LA census as "Widow Tate". She was also listed in property deeds in 1810 LA as Nancy Tate, and she had a case go to the US Supreme Court as Nancy Tate, however her maiden name was never mentioned. HELP!
