Dear Joel, E. C. Pate was part of the Al/Tn Stephen, Mathew and James Pate family. So was AJ Pate, son of Stephen and Jane Milliken (so identified by her granddaughter) Pate. E. C. Pate was his 1/2 brother. E. C. was the son of Mathew Pate (brother of Stephen) and the widow Jane Milliken Pate. E. C. Pate's daughter said that he was the ONLY child of the Jane Milliken and Mathew Pate's marriage. There are two other men who seem to be identified by the Naille will as the other brothers, Mathew, Stephen and one other. Joel go to the stick figures of 1830 and 1840 and compare who the people are. Jane, Mathew, James are all identified in seperate households. Mathew has a much older woman with him, of an age to be his mother (never identified). Andrew Jackson Pate (Stephen and Jane) is born in Al,birth certificate on file in Madison Co AL. 1815 I think(1814 if not. She has her last child with Mathew E.C.Pate in 1831. Mathew Pate is dead by 1844. Jane is dead by 1850 when!
E. Cain Pate is living with my ggf Henderson Clark (whose first wife was Elizabeth Ann Pate). By 1850 you have James Pate with his family (I believe his wife is younger) and Col George B Pate. I'll send you more later. Dick is here and I'll see if he can pull up my files. Meredith PS You really ought to put the other names of the Clark cemetery in. Less than 20 and all related to the Pate with by birth or marriage. M.
