    Notes 
    • Excerpts from "Tate Families of Southern States", Metzel and Updike, 1984

      Jahaziel married four times; (1) to a bride of whom we know little, except she died early leaving three sons, Andrew J., John S., and James Tate who were living with the Samuel Dykes' family in the 1850 Census of Grundy County, TN. Possibly the Dykes family were the grandparents of them since rural people always find room for their own kin. He was married to (2) Sarah A. Tate, on October 18, 1839, by Justice of the Peace, W. F. Mooney (M. P. 1836 - 7, 8 and 9.) She was born 1821, age 29 on the 1850 Census of Warren County, TN and died on January 28, 1852, in Pulaski County, AR. Her family was opposed to the marriage. They, however, eloped and settled near Little Rock, Pulaski County, AR. He married (3) Lavinia "Vina" who was born in 1810 in MS. He married (4) Nancy who was born April 5, 1824 in Hinds County, TX; she died on December 7, 1893 in Poetry, TX. Her parents were born in AL and VA respectively.

      It is said that he suffered from epileptic seizures and never traveled alone. He lived to be an elderly man and died on August 4, 1888 testate, buried with wife Nancy, eight miles from Terrill, Poetry, Kaufman, County, TX in the Dry Creek Cemetery. Issue born in Warren County, TN or Little Rock, Pulaski County, AR.
