    Notes:

    The Tates are a tangle to unravel. Robert's grandparetns are most likely John Tate and Sarah Beaty. His parents, John Tate II or Jr. and Mary Mitchell's descendants tended to stay in Augusta and Rockbridge Counties, VA and marry into other Scot-Irish families of the Shenandoah Valley i.e. the Campbells, McClungs, Stuarts, Finley, and Alexanders.

    Robert, who married Margaret McClung, has been confused by researchers with his uncle, Robert Tate, who settled in Washington Co. VA and had three sons, Col. John Tate, Robert Tate, and William Tate all played prominent roles in the history of Southwestern Virginia. Robert and Margaret McClung had about 11 children who had deep ties to Augusta and Rockbridge Counties, but some researchers have combined the uncle and nephew Robert's families. See what I mean about a tangle of Tates?

    Uncle Robert's descendants were the Traveling Tates. His offspring founded Tatesville in Pulaski Co. KY or settled in Warren and Grundy Co. TN and DeKalb Co. AL. Robert's grandchildren ended up in Missouri, Texas, and Oklahoma.

    John was born in Northern Ireland and came to the colonies with this father in 1730. John Tate or Tait came to Augusta Co. VA from Pennsylvania. [Note: Some researchers have the location as being Bedford Springs in Lancaster Co. PA and Cumberland Co. PA, but this has not been documented.] He married Mary Doak and had five sons, James, John, William, Robert, and Thomas, plus a daughter whose name is not certain.

    Vol 57, issue 3, p 179-192.

    She indicates John Tate was born 1722 in Ireland, immigrated to Bedford Springs, PA and m Mary Doak in 1743. They had; Thomas, James, Eleanor, John and William Tate.

    Recent research presents a convincing argument that John Tate's wife was actually Mary Mitchell. Please look at her record for the documentary evidence.

    I received these notes from the owner of the book: "There are 6 short paragraphs dealing with the Tate family. The Tate section begins as follows, "The Tates came from the north of Ireland to Penn., and thence to Augusta about 1745. The first immigrant left four sons, James, William, John, and Robert. The descendants of the first brothers married among the Van Lears, Ewings, Moffetts and Finleys, of Augusta and Rockbridge."

    ------------------

    Site owner's note:

    The Tates are a tangle to unravel. There are two lines that may spring from John Tate and Sarah Beaty. This John Tate descendants tended to stay in Augusta and Rockbridge Counties, VA and marry into other Scot-Irish families of the Shenandoah Valley i.e. the Campbells, McClungs, Stuarts, Finley, and Alexanders.

    His brother Robert Tate, whose wife isn't known at this time, eventually settled in Washington Co. VA. His three sons, Col. John Tate, Robert Tate, and William Tate all played prominent roles in the history of Southwestern Virginia. They lived in four frontier counties(1) Botetourt Co., until 1772; (2) Fincastle Co., January 1773 to January 1777; (3) Washington Co., January 1777 to May 1786; (4) Russell Co., May 1786 until their deaths. They didn't move, but their land changed with formation of the counties.

    Robert's descendants were the Traveling Tates. Their offspring founded Tatesville in Pulaski Co. KY or settled in Warren and Grundy Co. TN and DeKalb Co. AL. Robert's grandchildren ended up in Missouri, Texas, and Oklahoma.

    To make things even more confusing, they married women named Mary and named their sons John, Robert, William, and Joseph. Because of this, it isn't hard for generations to be confused. For example, Robert Tate of Washington/Russell Counties married Mary ? and had Joseph, Alexander, John, Aaron, James and Robert Jr. He is confused with his nephew, Robert Tate, son of John Tate and Mary Mitchell. This Robert married Margaret McClung and had about 11 children. Some researchers have combined these two Robert's families. See what I mean about a tangle of Tates?

    Some researchers have the parents of Col. John Tate, Robert Tate, and William Tate as being Robert Tate born 27 FEB 1691 in New Kent Co. VA and died 1759 in St. Paul's Parish,Hanover Co. VA. But given the ties to Augusta Co. and the intermarriage with the Mitchells by William Tate, brother to Col. John and Robert, this may not be likely.

    Hopefully DNA testing will clarify some of these lines.

    Description: Decedent
    Book: CC1-81

    John married Mary Mitchell Abt 1741, Pennsylvania. Mary (daughter of Thomas Mitchell and Eleanor (Helen)) was born ca 1710, Ulster Irelend; died Aft 1802, Augusta Co. VA. [Group Sheet]


  2. 13.  Mary Mitchell was born ca 1710, Ulster Irelend (daughter of Thomas Mitchell and Eleanor (Helen)); died Aft 1802, Augusta Co. VA.

    Notes:

    WeRelate.org presents documentation that Mary Mitchell is the wife of John Tate and not Mary Doak.

    http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:Mary_Mitchell_%28132%29

    Below are the extracts of the argument.

    From the following Augusta Co. VA record, John Tate and Francis Beaty were brothers-in-law.

    10th October, 1769. Francis Beaty, of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, Gent., to his brother-in-law, John Tate, power of attorney to sell all lands belonging to Francis, including land bought of John Greer, on Flat Spring Branch, joining the other land where I last lived; also 200 acres joining Charles Berry. Teste: Robert Gay, John and James Beaty.

    To be Francis' brother-in-law, John would have married either Francis' sister or Francis would have married John Tate's sister or the two would have had to marry sisters. No documentation has been found to prove the first two options, so it is more likely John and Francis married sisters.

    Thomas Mitchell's will in 1734 mentions his daughter, Mary, along with his wife Elloner, son John, and other daughters Martha (eldest), Jean and Jenat. The will was written 4 May 1734; probated 14 Nov. 1734, (Lancaster Co, PA, Will Book A, vol 1, pg 17)

    Mary Doak is a least likely candidate for two reasons. One, there is no will of Samuel Doak in Augusta County records to indicate that Mary was his daughter. In addition there are no records of any of Samuel's other children listing her as a probable sister.

    Two, the following record is interesting because Samuel Doak would have been the brother of Mary, if she was the daughter of Samuel Doak, Sr. Samuel Doak in his will extract names his "brother-in-law John Finley, husband of Samuel's sister Thankful. However John Tate is not also named as a brother-in-law, which he would have been if Mary, the sister of Samuel Doak was his wife, but he is named as an advisor to the executors. This is another key piece of evidence to possibly support Mary as a Mitchell and not a daughter of Samuel Doak, Sr.

    Page 497.--5th November, 1771. Saml Doak's will, farmer--To wife, Jane; to daughter, Elinor, unmarried; to wife, to have disposal of all household furniture at her Pleasure to her 3 daughters, Elinor, Mary, Isbel; to son, John; to oldest son, David, plantation David now lives on as Robert Doak laid it off; to son, Samuel, plantation at head waters of Rockfish in Amherst; to son, John, plantation testator lives on; to son, Robert, tract testator formerly lived on in Rockfish, joining Capt. Crawford; daughters, Jane and Elizabeth. Executors, wife Jane, son David, son-in-law Wm. Brown. Brother-in-law John Finley and John Tate to advise executors. Teste: John and James Mitchel, William Tate, John Tate, Jr. Proved, 19th May, 1772. by James Mitchel and the Tates. David Doack qualifies with John Tate. Nathaniel Steel.
