- Tate Families of the Southern States, Volume II, by Laura Mentzel and Ethel Updike, 1984
William Tate settled in Washington County about the time, John and Robert did and is thought to be a brother. He was on the tax rolls for 1784. On February 20, 1793, Joel Hobbs and wife Margaret sold 145 acres on both sides of Big Moccasin Creek, a spur of Clinch Mountain on the Holston River to William Tate. It would seem that he was not a public spirited man, however, there are so many acts attributed to the other William Tate over this period that I wonder if this William Tate was active, but the other William has received all of the credit, living in the same county as they did. He lived within five miles of Col. John and Robert Tate. He executed his will, September 15, 1803 in Russell County, VA, probated October 25, 1803 by wife Elizabeth.
