    Excerpt from Goodspeed's History of Tennessee, Early Decatur County Settlers and Biographies:

    Tate Family

    "John L. Tate was born on December 7, 1849, in Warren County, TN and enlisted in Forrest's Confederate Cavalry in 1864. He returned to Warren County and farmed until 1869, when he moved to Oak Grove, Decatur County. The following year he came to Decaturville where he followed merchandising. On September 20, 1871, he married Martha J. Welch, daughter of Henry Welch. They were the parents of 7 children: Mary, Maggie,William H. Carrie, B., Anna Jane, John Elmer, and Grover Cleveland."

    Excerpt from the Tate Families of Southern States, Volume II, Laura Metzel and Ethel Speer Updike, 1984

    Son of Elan H. and Jane Turner Tate. Elan did not remarry after Jane's death. John, George and Martha's graves are unmarked. George was murdered in Decaturville on December 1, 1876 (Goodspeed's History says November 30, 1877 and used here). The indications are that Martha had preceded him in death. Possibly at the birth of Mattie on February 3, 1876. The records of Grov Liles trial and conviction for George's murder were lost in the Decatur County courthouse fire of 1926 so more positive information is lost.

    Jane, Grover, and Bobby died before Elan H., and the three surviving sons moved to Decatur County, TN in 1870. I find no records or tombstones for Grover and Bobby. Jane is buried in Warren County, TN, near its border with Grundy County. Elan H. Tate was living with his son, John Lee. At Elan's death, Elan's papers passed through son John Lee's family ownership into the hands of Martha Angie Raspbury of Hohenwald, TN. Mrs. Raspbury supplied the information on the Issue of James and Ruth Tate and has been a close collaborator of James Striegal Tate in the compiling of this family study.

    John married Martha J. Welch 28 Sep 1871, Grundy Co. TN. Martha was born 14 Aug 1845, Decaturville, Grundy Co. TN; died 18 Jan 1917, Decaturville, Grundy Co. TN; was buried , Decaturville, Grundy Co. TN. [Group Sheet]
