    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. Tate and wife, Nancy; Elisha Tate and wife Eliza; and William Tate, heirs-at-law of Joseph Tate, deceased, sold to Joseph C. Fugate, 100 acres and 170 acres on both sides of Big Moccasin Creek, a spur of Clinch Mountain, where Joseph Tate died, adjacent Samuel C. Fugate and Elish Tate.
