Excerpt from Tate Families of the Southern States, Volume II, 1984, by Laura W. Mentzel & Ethel S. Updike
He enlisted in the Confederacy on August 7, 1863, in Jackson County, AL in Company "K", 3rd Confederate Regiment. He was released May 5, 1865. He stated he had a wife and one daughter, aged 28, but did not give her name. He stated later that he had eight children, six girls and two sons, but none of their names were recited. He married in Warren County, TN on July 5, 1866 by the Reverand Lyon Brown at St. Mary's Church, Adelaide Deering, born March 10, 1843 of McMinnville, Warren County, TN. Witnesses at their wedding Thomas Brown and Annie Rogers. She stated she was born in TN, her father born in VA and her mother in TN. She died on June 2, 1932 after having received his pension for some time.
Reference: Pension files #7999 and 10345; Federal Census 1880 Jackson County, AL, 1880 Sequatchie County, TN.
In a letter from James Striegel Tate to Ethel Updike on June 9, 1978, he wrote:
"Dock Mayburn Tate was born in DeKalb County, AL on October 8, 1846. He was the son of Aaron Tate, Jr.) On August 7, 1863 he enlisted in Co. "K" of the 3rd (also 11th) Confederate Cavalry Regiment in Jackson County, AL. He was paroled on May 5, 1854 at Guntersville, AL. On July 22, 1908 he filed for a pension which was granted under number 10,345. He died at Cagle, Sequatchie County, TN on August 5, 1923. On July 5, 1866 in Warren County, TN he married Adelaide Deering, born in McMinnville TN. On December 20, 1923 she filed for a widow's pension which was granted under No. 7999. Her application stated there were two sons (aged 41 and 46) and six daughters (aged 38, 44, 49, 51, 53, 54). They are not on the Sequatchie Census for 1870 and 1880 is too dim to read."

Notes:
Excerpt from Tate Families of the Southern States, Volume II, 1984, by Laura W. Mentzel & Ethel S. Updike
Aaron Tate had several land grants in Warren County, TN and lived for some time adjoining his brother Robert H. Tate who sold his home place on January 12, 1819. 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.

Notes from the Estate Files of Aaron Tate, Sr., John Tate, Elizabeth Connelly Tate, and Maben Dock Tate, all late of Dekalb County, Alabama, by Roland Tate, descendant.
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 high points 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 ¼ of the SE ¼, of Section 14, the NE ¼ of the NW !/4, the SE ¼ of the NW ¼, the W ½ of the NW ¼ , and the W ½ of the SW ¼ , excepting the SW ¼ of the SW ¼ (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.
