      Notes from Aline Brown Tate

      Very little is known about James Tate and Sarah A. Flowers Tate----especially James Tate. They were living in (Texas) near Licking, Missouri when the boys were born. According to the son, James C. Tate, his father was serving in the Army during the Civil War in the New Orleans, Louisiana area. His mother received word he was sick. She took the two small boys and a slave to drive the oxcart; two barrels of salt to use as money and went to Louisiana to see her husband. When they got there she was told he had died of small pox and already buried. That was when small pox was raging there. She came back to Missouri, and later married again.
