1813	Although he has not yet been proven to be the progenitor of the Tates of Russell and Washington Counties, VA, he is a likely candidate. John was wounded in the siege of Londonderry Apr. 1689 and suffered ill effects the remainder of his life. His parents left Scotland and settled in Ulster. There is a tie between the Tates and Beatys in Augusta Co. VA. One John Tate had land in Beverley Manor, Augusta Co., VA in 1749 and lived near Francis Beaty who had land in both Beverley Manor and Bordens surveys of Augusta Co. On 10 Oct 1769 Francis Beaty Gent. Of Mecklenburg Co., NC Power of Attorney to John Tate, brother-in-law, of Augusta Co., VA to sell land belonging to Francis Beaty, including land purchased of John Kerr on Flat Spring Branch, adjacent to other land where I last lived before moving to NC. Also 200 acres adjacent to Charles Berry. Wit: Robert Gray, John and James Beaty. Ref: Chronicles of Scot-Irish in Virginia, by Lyman Chalkley, Vol. 3, p.501; Mecklenburg Co., NC Will Book G, p.81; Kershaw Co., SC Will book C, p.20; Book 1, p.31. Mrs. Edwina Epperson Muff. The Tates are a tangle to unravel. There are two lines that may spring from John Tate and Sarah Beaty. John Tate II or Jr. mentioned in Augusta County is the one who married Mary Mitchell. His 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. The other line is Robert Tate, whose wife isn't known at this time, but he 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.	Tate, John (I10064)
1814	Although several family trees on Rootsweb and Ancestry.com connect this Peter Hamman as the the son of Georg Adam Hamman of Kürnbach, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, recent DNA evidence from the Hamman DNA project shows this not to be the case. http://www.brian-hamman.com/Hamman_Y_chromosomeResults.htm Peter is connected to the southeastern Hessen-Darmstadt group, which leads to an interesting possibility. The evidence strongly suggests that this is the Johann Peter Hammann born on 5 Sep 1753, in Langstadt, Hessen-Darmstadt, Germany; if so, then this is the long lost Peter Hamann who deserted the Hessian Army in 1781 after seven years of service. Please see the following link for more details as John Helmut Merz has extensively researched Hessian soldiers who settled in the US and Canada. John was the list moderator for the Rootsweb American Revolution Hessian mailing list and provided a wealth of information and expertise. http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.hamann/122.1/mb.ashx The Hammans from Langstadt serving in the Hessen-Hanau troops included: Hamann, Jacob, 1752/53 born in Langstadt/Hessen, returned to Langstadt, married and lived a long and happy life. Hamann, Konrad, 1754/55 born in Langstadt, married and is the progenitor of the Canadian Hammans, and died in Canada, Hamann, Peter, 1752/53, Langstadt, deserted 1781 in the US. The military records that "Peter" disappeared in the U.S.A. in 1781 just as the American Revolution was ending. It is possible and plausible that this is the Peter who was a Hessian deserter. He would have found a large German population in the Shenandoah Valley, but his service as a Hessian soldier would have made him an outcast. According to the Hammond Genealogy, Peter supposedly came from PA into Valley of VA, settled in Botetourt Co., then part of Augusta Co. and became owner of Heibst/Hypes/Hipes estate. Fiske Edwards Hammond, author of the Hammond Genealogy, uses the stereotypical genealogical convention of three brothers coming from x, in this case Pennsylvania, settling in y, the Valley of Virginia, Botetourt County. In this instance, instead of the other brothers migrating to other sections of the country never to be heard from again, these 2 brothers die without marrying, and no offspring, leaving Peter being the progenitor of this family. Fiske Edwards Hammond indicated Peter was known to enter shooting matches and horse races and was middle aged when thrown from a horse and killed. [Source: The Hammond Genealogy, 1919, p.12] As a skilled, professional soldier Peter would have been an excellent shooter and perhaps rider. So this bit of biographical information has a ring of truth to it. Also it makes sense that Peter would provide general information about coming from PA which had large German settlements and be evasive about his past since he married into a German Palatinate family who supported the American Revolution. Having Hessian military connections would not endear one to some of the patriot populace. He marched through PA as a prisoner of war, so he came "from" PA to Virginia. While not a complete lie, it disconnected him from his role in fighting for the British, and in all probability, he wasn't too enthusiastic to be fighting against German-speaking colonists. With the results of the DNA tests, the likely ancestors of Peter are provided at the following link: http://www.brian-hamman.com/ANCESTORS-OF-27019.htm Information from Dr. Ernst Hamman, Hessen-Darmstadt on Hessian soldiers from Langstadt, Hessen-Darmstadt who fought in the American Revolution has Peter listed as a soldier in the Hess-Hanaulschen Regiment, with the word "erbprinz or Crown Prince," also known as the Prince Hereditaire Regiment He enlisted July, 1774 and was active until July, 1781. He is listed as a deserter. There was a Hesse Hanau Erbprinz Regiment that was one of the units from Hesse-Hanau that fought in the American Revolution. The Hessian soldiers were regular or professional army units hired out by the German leaders to Great Britain. The Germany of the 1700's was not a unified country like it is today. It was divided up into many different principalities, each one with their own ruler. These princes often found themselves running short of money. One method they had of making money was to rent out their armies to other countries. The Hessians made up about 25 percent of the forces sent by the British in the American Revolution. The use of Hessian troops angered the American colonists, and pushed more Loyalists to be in favor of the revolution. The British use of non-English speaking foreign troops to put down the rebellion was seen as insulting. Family records of Johann Nicholas Bahner(t), one of the Hessians captured in the Battle of Trenton, indicate that some of the Hessian soldiers enrolled in the service of King George III of England under the false pretense that they were needed to defend the American Colonies against Indian incursions. It was not until after they arrived upon American shores that they discovered they were enlisted to fight against, rather than for, the colonists. About 30,000 of these men served in America with the majority returning home. Hesse-Hanau sent 2,422 men and officers with 981 not returning to Germany from death or desertion. The Patriots enticed Hessians to desert and join the large German-American population. The US Congress authorized the offer of 50 acres of land to individual Hessian soldiers to encourage them to desert. Most of the former Hessian solders married and settled amongst the population of the newly formed United States. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hessian_soldiers The Hesse-Hanau Erbprinz Regiment was taken at Saratoga on Oct. 17, 1777. They made up part of the left wing of Lt. General Burgoyne's army as part of the 2nd Brigade under Brigadier General Wilhelm von Gall. After the fall of Fort Ticonderoga, the Infantry Regiment Erbprinz was left behind as a garrison, and most likely did not see combat. There were over 2,000 German troops who were part of the British surrender. All British, German, and Canadian troops had to leave their weapons on the field of surrender, and from there march to Boston, Massachusetts, to be put aboard ships and never return to fight again. They were known as the Convention Army. At Cambridge, called the Winter Hill prison camp, Brunswick and Hessen Hanau Regiments were kept in barracks for a whole year. The American Congress did not ratify the surrender agreement. British ships that came to pick up the prisoners according to the original agreement, were refused entry into Boston harbour. Some of the prisoners went out to work by special permits. Some deserted or joined the American forces. The soldiers themselves were still under the command of their officers, and kept together within their regimental units. In November 1778, these surrendered troops started their march towards Virginia, arriving in Charlottesville on Jan.14, 1779. They found unfinished barracks and deplorable conditions. The Brunswick and Hesse Hanau prisoners stayed until the end of Feb.1781, when they were ordered to march north towards Winchester, VA, and Frederick, MD. Hessian solider prisoners were kept in Lancaster, PA, York, PA, Carlisle, PA, Lebanon, PA, Philadelphia, PA, and Reading, PA. Since Johan Peter's last record is July, 1781, we assume he deserted somewhere in PA. He made his way from PA, escaping as a prisoner of war, to Botetourt County, VA where he married into the prosperous Heibst/Hypes family in 1789. Source: http://freepages.military.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~amrevhessians/hpnah.htm Until there is newer evidence to contradict the DNA indications, I will assume Peter is the lost Hessian soldier and these are his ancestors.

His grave is said to be somewhere beyond it. It has been suggested that Ray was killed by his brother over a girl (Sessie Mae Whitaker) while they were feeding the farm stock.

1821	An Excerpt from The History of Cooper County by W F Johnson, 1919 William T. Tally, a veteran of the Civil War and a substantial retired farmer of Cooper County was born on a farm in Saline Township, Oct. 14 1839 son of Henderson and Mary Ann (Taylor) Tally, the former a native of Tennessee, born Jan 6, 1811 and the latter of Kentucky born Feb. 10, 1816. They were married in this county Dec 15, 1836 and spent the remainder of their lives here. Henderson Tally died in 1887. He and his wife were the parents of six children: Mrs. Louisa Hopkins, deceased; William T.; Judge James P. Tally, Pilot Grove; Mrs. Mary Woods, deceased; Marion C., deceased and Mrs. Catherine Newlin a widow, Boonville. William T. Tally received his schooling in the primitive schools of the time and was living at home when the Civil War broke out. In 1862 he enlisted in the Union cause for two years and was attached to Company F, Fifth Regiment, Missouri State Militia. At the end of his two years he re-enlisted and went to the front as a member of Company I, Twelfth Missouri Cavalry, serving with Sherman's army. Nov. 24 1864, in the battle of Franklin, his horse was shot from under him and he was taken prisoner and sent to the Confederate prison at Andersonville GA., where he remained until the close of the war and was mustered out under a general order, April 29, 1865. During a visit home on furlough in the summer of 1863, Mr. Tally had married and upon his return home, after his long military service, he resumed farming in Saline Township, where he owned a farm of 120 acres. He added to his holding, and from time to time was the owner of several farms in this county. In 1903, Mr. Tally disposed of his farm holdings and moved to Boonville, where he since has made his home at 1026 Fifth Street. Mr Tally is an ardent Republican, but has not been a seeker after office. He is a member of the local post of the Grand Army of the Republic. August 14 1863, William T Tally was united in marriage to Louisa A. Tate, who was born in Warren County Tenn., Dec 22, 1845, daughter of Jahiel Douglas Tate and Sarah (Price) Tate, the former of whom was born in that county and the latter in Jackson County, ALA., who came with their family to Missouri in 1852 and settled on a farm in Texas County where they spent the remainder of their lives. Douglas Tate and wife were the parents of 11 children of whom Mrs. Tally was the fourth in order of birth. Mr. & Mrs. Tally have six children: William A., Boonville, Alice, wife of A. L. Durnil, Saline township; Joseph D., Boonville; Charles E., of Excelsior Springs; Oscar F., a railway mail clerk of Kansas City and Hattie E., widow of David A Snyder, resides with her parents in Boonville. Mrs. Snyder has three children, two daughters and a son, the latter of whom, Oscar E. Snyder, enlisted in the aviation corps of the National Army January 25 1918, and was assigned to Camp Sevier, NC C., where after a period of training, he was made a first class sergeant and in March 1918 sailed for overseas service and is still (spring of 1919) in France.
