Born in 1778 in Big Moccasin Creek, a spur of Clinch Mountain on the Holston River, some 15 miles from Lebanon, Russell County, VA. Son of Robert and Mary Tate. Here he grew up and married Ruth Davidson, daughter of James Davidson (Davison) of Russell and Scott Counties, VA (1826 Scott County, VA Wills), in 1798. It is believed that he migrated to Warren County, TN before his father died in 1806 with Ruth and children.

He and Ruth Davidson had thirteen children. They were divorced before February 23, 1829 when he married Elizabeth Smith. He and Elizabeth were the parents of five children.

That he was the son of Robert and Mary Tate of Russell Co. VA was recited in a deed dated October 14, 1816, Russell Co., VA, when the heirs of Robert Tate decided to dispose of certain land. James and wife Ruth; John and wife Dicey; Robert and wife Susannah; Alexander and wife Delilah and Mary "Polly" and husband Marady Price, met and sold the land to their brother Joseph Tate. The mother Mary who was also in Warren Co., TN, signed her dower to the son Joseph Tate who remained on the old plantation in Russell Co., VA.

Major James Tate also executed a will. He died testate April 19, 1849, buried in Philadelphia Cemetery, 13 miles south of McMinnville, TN. The will was contested, went to the Supreme Court of TN. The widow, Elizabeth received most of the estate. However, all of the children were named. Robert and Davidson Tate were named administrators.

In 1806 he met with some of his brothers (he and four of his brothers, Aaron, Alexander, John and Robert, are listed on the 1820 Warren County, TN tax rolls) and others to petition for a New County where they lived, consequently in 1807 Warren County was organized. James and his brother Robert settled in a remote section of the County, on Taylor Creek, until after he married his second wife (Elizabeth Smith) and moved to the mountains, in what later became Grundy County, TN. He accumulated a considerable amount of land (over 20,000 acres) in the valley, as well as on the Cumberland Plateau where he maintained a distillery. (Warren County was a major producer of apple brandy during his lifetime.)

James Striegel Tate Papers, Tennessee State Library and Archives 1742 - 1980

James and Ruth sold their Virginia lands between 1801 and 1805.

James and Robert H. lived on Taylor's Creek near to Mt. Olive and Philadelphia Church where James is buried. The formation of Grundy County in 1844 left them residents thereof and they remained as afterward.

James died testate in Grundy County on April 19, 1849. His first wife was Ruth by whom he had 13 children. They were divorced about 1827 -- 28 and on February 23, 1829, he married Elizabeth Smith, a much younger woman. They had five children, the oldest of which was apparently born out of wedlock. I, in common with most of the Tates of Grundy County, am a descendant of James and Ruth Tate. He left more records of himself than any of the others.

---------------------
MILITARY SERVICE

He served in the War of 1812 at the rank of Captain, later promoted to Major and was known as Major Tate from that time on. He served as a Justice of the Peace for Warren County and was prominent in business and public affairs. Warren County Militiamen in the Creek Indian Wars of 1814, Captain James Tait's (Tate) Company, Col. Stephen Copeland's 3rd West Tennessee Regiment, General Thomas Johnson Brigade. The Creek Indian Wars of 1814 were classified by the U. S. Government as a "sub-war' of the War of 1812. Several militia companies were organized from the area of Warren County, TN and it's adjacent counties, including that of Capt. James Tait. Not only did Capt. Tait muster and pay rolls survive, but so did his personal pay voucher which specified dates, actual miles traveled and locations. The militia records of 1814 are particularly valuable to researchers because so many of these men were under 20 years of age--too young to have appeared on the 1812 Warren County tax lists, and often gone by 1820. The following is an exact transcription from the original records:

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.

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

Tate Family

"Elon Tate was born in Grundy County, TN, October 15, 1817. He moved to Decatur County on August 12, 1870. He located at Decaturville, Grundy County, TN until his death on December 19, 1879. Elon was a Democrat. His wife, Jane (Turner) Tate died on May 8, 1865. Their family consisted of five children, 2 died in infancy, George was killed at Decaturville on November 30, 1877, John L and James H."

Excerpt from "Tate Families of Southern States", Metzel and Updike, 1984

He kept the Old Family Bible of the births of his siblings, called "That Book". Though he was of the first family of James Tate, (and Ruth), he was very fond of the second family. After his wife, Jane died, when she was only 45 years old, (and was buried in Shiloh Cemetery, Warren County) Elan moved to Decatur County in 1870. It is assumed that Elan and his family went and lived in Decatur County because Elizabeth (James second wife) went there to live with the Bost family in her later years. He died leaving two sons and four grand children, the oldest was an orphaned girl less than four years old.

He was a Corporal in Company H. of the 35th Infantry in the confederate Army and served during the Civil War. He was wounded in the wrist and side during the battle of Shiloh. At the time of his second marriage he was rather an old man, and it was said that the only reason the young lady married him was that he was getting a pension and she wanted the money. After a while, Hattie S. Tate, his daughter and my grandmother brought him home to her own house and cared for him until his death in 1908.

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

He was mentioned in his father's will of June 22, 1880 in Kaufman County, TX. However, I don't think John S. ever lived outside of TN. He was living with his brother Andrew Jackson Tate and James Tate in 1850 in the Samuel Dykes home. His father has been married to Sarah Tate for eleven years so it is thought they were living with their grandparents' family. In 880, the family was living in Altamont, Grundy County, TN.

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

Martin Van Buren and his family lived in TX before moving to OK. The Tate family joined the Mormon Church in Oklahoma Indian Territory at the time Andrew Kimball, Father of Spencer Kimball, was Mission President of the area.

Martin V. and his wife, Margaret moved from Spanish Fork, Utah to Arizona during the summer of 1898. With them were seven of their then, nine children. The two older girls, Maggie and Myrtle, then 16 and 17 years old, remained in Spanish Fork, working for individual families. The seven children who came to Arizona were Homer, Nellie, Bessie, Gracie, Mable, Alma and Ruth.

In 1894, the Tate family moved to Utah. and settled in Spanish Fork. The winters in Utah affected Margaret's arthritis so severely, they felt a warmer climate would give her more relief. When Martin heard that Andrew Kimball was being called to preside as Stake President over the St. Joseph Stake, he sought his advice concerning moving the Tate family to Arizona. On the recommendation of President Andrew Kimball, the Tates started for Arizona with all their possessions in two wagons. One wagon was pulled by mules, the other by horses. Martin V. drove one wagon and Homer, age 13, drove the other. They arrived in Central in the late summer of 1898. The only available housing at the time was an empty granery located near the church and school. The tenth child of the Tate family, Zina Myrtle, was born in Central. Martin V. and his family stayed in Central a little more than six years. In order to provide better for the large family, they moved to Globe, AZ where they started a boarding house for the miners. This gave an opportunity to put the girls of the family to work. The Tate family eventually moved back to the Gila Valley locating permanently in Thatcher, AZ.

In the Gila Valley, daughter Nellie Bly married her Central school teacher, Spencer C. Heywood. Homer M. married his neighbor, Emma Pearl Coombs of Central.

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]

Shortly after he and Hattie married they moved to Thurber, Erath Co. TX. Coal was discovered in the extreme northwestern part this county. It became the leading coal-producing area of the state by the end of the century, supplying coal for the Texas & Pacific Railway Company's locomotives. The mines closed in 1888 when the company could not meet its payroll obligations, but reopened when a New York grocer and investor, H. K. Thurber, brought in an infusion of cash.

Thurber was completely a company town. Only company employees and their families, schoolteachers and members of the clergy could live there. Since the company owned everything in town, there were no taxes. There was no city government, and the mining company paid for law enforcement, furnished the school building and supplemented state and county funds for teachers and school operating costs.

There were nearly 20 different nationalities or racial groups represented, including Italian, Polish, English, German, Austrian, Irish, Chinese and black, living in the town.

After years of labor agitation, the United Mine Workers organized d Thurber's miners in 1903. The strikes and strife may have been the reason John and Hattie left.

John and Hattie's five oldest children were born in Thurber.

Notes:

Homer was an artisan of fabricating oddities for carnivals and sideshows. The following website showcases his works.

http://grindshow.com/GrindShow/Shrine_Of_Homer_Tate.html

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

He was a Sherriff of Graham County, AZ 1924 - 1929, a farmer. Many may remember Homer as the practical joker of the town. He moved to Central in the late summer of 1898 with his father, Martin Van Buren Tate from Spanish Fork, UT at the age of thirteen.

It seems Homer attended school in Central only a very short time. He worked at odd jobs on the farms until he was seventeen years old, when he began working in the mines. He found work at such places as Pierce, Bisbee, Glove, AZ and in Cananea, Mexico.

Emma Pearl Coombs was born in Central, AZ, the eighth child of George and Pauline Gulbransen Coombs, Jr. All Emma's formal education was received in the Central schools.

Homer was working at Globe, AZ in 1906-07. At this time, Emma left Central and went to work for the Tate's Boarding House in Globe. During this time a courtship blossomed into marriage, which took place in October of 1907. Homer and Emma began their married life at the new town site of Copper Hill, which consisted of a few 10 x 12 foot tents, boarded up on three sides. Here they lived for about three years while both Homer and Emma continued working, until very early in 1911. Emma returned to Central early in 1911 as the first born of the family was expected.

The Tates' first child, Martin Coombs Tate was born March 5, 1911. Since Central was a farming community, jobs were very scarce and about the only work available was helping on individual farms on a day or two, basis. So, in the early part of 1915, Homer felt he should procure work that would provide a better means of support for the family which now had an additional member, daughter Pearl. Homer went alone to Bisbee where he secured employment in the mines. Emma and their two chldren followed later after housing was secured.

In 1916, the Tates were back in Central, a mining town was not the best place to rear a family. Homer felt he should try farming as a means of providing for his family, now consisting of three children, as a second son, Goerge Vining, was born in July of 1916.

The Tates secured a house and small acreage immediately west of the railroad tracks on the old highway, known as the Thomas place. Homer farmed in Central and Pima until 1921. At this time, Homer was appointed by the Governor, G. W. P. Hunt, to the position of Detail Officer at the Boys Reformatory at Fort Grant. Emma served as Matron of the girls dormitory, located on the same site with separate facilities.

After spending a year at Ft. Grant, the Tates moved back to Central and purchased what was called the Thurman Place in the Northwest part of town. There were only about eight acres under cultivation. Alfalfa, vegetables and melons were the main crops raised. Homer was Constable of Central until December 7, 1924. During the elections of the fall of 1924, Homer was elected Sheriff of Graham County.

During the summer of 1922-1923, Homer, accompanied by a dozen Boy Scouts, climbed Mt. Graham for a week of encampment. Homer spent a good portion of the time testing the bravery of the boys, mainly by concocting ways to scare them. On one occasion after visiting the old sawmill and on their return hike to camp on Soldier Creek, Homer slipped ahead and concealed himself in a rather dense thicket. Previously he had told the boys that one of the men at the mill had wounded a bear, and that a wounded bear could be pretty mean. From a thicket, Homer made sounds of a wounded bear just as the boys came by in a single file. Some track stars were born, all except for Morgan Taylor. Fear set in, along with exhaustion, and after a short sprint, Morgan yelled, "For Hell's sake Homer, wait!!", thinking that Homer was farther up the trail. About this time the "wounded" bear came out of the thicket.

The Tates moved to Safford, AZ in December, 1925 where Homer assumed the duties of Sheriff.
