is all believed to be authentic, having

been obtained from official records, also

Bible and tombstone records, some very

good information was received from many of

the older members of the Tate Family, some

of which have died since the beginning of

this genealogical sketch.

THE NAME AND FAMILY OF TATE

 

The name of TATE or TAIT us probably derived from the ancient Scandinavian personal name of Teit, although some writers maintain that it is derived from the Anglo-Saxon baptismal name of Tata. However this may be, it was first used as a surname by the son or sons of one so called.

The name was taken into England and Scotland at extremely early dates, probably by one of the Norsemen, who ravaged the coasts of the British Isles in ancient times. It is found on ancient records of Scotland, England, and Ireland and on early American records in various forms Teit, Teite, Taitte, Tayte, Tayt, Tait, Tate and others, of which the last two spellings mentioned are those most generally in use in America today.

Families of this name were resident at early dates in the Counties of Peebles, Northampton, Nottingham, Leicester, Warwick, Cambridge, and Limerick, as well in the city and vicinity of London. They were, for the most part, of the British landed gentry and yeomanry.

Among the earliest records of the family in England are those of Nicholas Tate, of Cambridgeshire, in the year 1273, AD; and those of John Tate, of Warwickshire, in 1392.

This John Tate was living at Coventry, County Warwick, in and before the year 1392, and was the father there of a son named William, (some writers call him John), who was the father by his wife Margarett, of Sir John and Thomas Tate, of whom the first, Sir John Tate, became Lord Mayor of London about the year 1473 and probably left at least on son, named John.

Thomas Tate, younger son of William (or John) and Margarett, was the father of Sir John and Sir Robert, of whom the first became Mayor of London in 1496 and was the father by his wife, Magdalen Harpenden, of Wales, of John Anthony, and Sir Barthelmew or Bartholemen, of whom John was the father by his wife, Elizabeth Marshall, of Anthony and Margarett. Sir Barthelew Tate resided in Northamptonshire and married the widow Anne Befford, a daughter of Lawrence Saunders, Among his progeny were two sons, Barthelmew and Anthony, of whom the latter married Margarett, daughter of John Digby, and was the father by her of George and Saunders or Sanders, of whom the first resided in Nottinghamshire and left issue by his wife Barbara, daughter of Richard Stanley,of, among others, and a son named Anthony, who married Bridget, daughter of Henry Kirby, and was the father of George (died young), Henry, Anthony, William, George, Anne, Barbara, Mary, Catherine, Elizabeth, and Dorothy.

Barthelmew, elder son of Sir Barthelmew Tate, of Northamptonshire, married Dorothy, daughter of Francis Tanfield, and was the father by her of Sir William, Jane, Anne, Martha, Dorothy, Francis, and Barthelmew, of whom Sir William owned lands in Warwichshire and Northampton, and died in 1617, leaving issue by his wife Ellinor, daughter of William, Lord Zouch (another historian calls her Elizabeth, daughter of Edward, Lord Zouch), of five children, Zouch, William, Sir John, Mary and Elizabeth.

While it is not entirely clear from which of the many lines of the family in the British Isles the first emigrants of the name to America trace their descent, it appears from old records the Tates were among the early settlers in the New World.

The first of the name in America was on Magnus (or Marcus) Tate, who came from Scotland to Philadelphia, Pa., in 1696 and shortly thereafter removed to that part of Frederick County Virginia, which later became Jefferson County, West Virginia. He may possibly have had a first wife named Sarah Jane, and certainly had a second wife, named Honour, by whom he had a son named Magnus, and possibly other children as well. He is believed to have died about 1747 in Virginia.

Joseph Tate, settled in Campbell County Virginia, about 1751 and was soon afterward joined by Henry Tate, probably his son. Henry died about 1793, leaving issue by his wife Sarah of Jesse, Charles, Nathaniel, Edmund, Caleb, Sarah, Euphemia, Ann, Elizabeth, Mary, and Tabitha.

More recent representatives of these and other lines of the family in America have spread to every part of the Union and have aided materially in the advancement of American civilization. Loyalty to family and friends, perseverance, will power, resourcefulness, business and intellectual ability, and the willingness to work for what they want have characterized the family throughout its history in this country; and, in some lines at least, the Tates have been notable for their artistic prowess.

John, Robert, Joseph, William, James, Magnus, George, Thomas, Samuel, Alexander, Henry and Edward are some of the Christian names favored by the family for its male progeny.

    THE TATES OF BEDFORD COUNTY VIRGINIA

     

     

    HENRY TATE, believed to be the son of Joseph Tate, settled in Campbell County, Virginia about 1751. He had by his wife Sarah the following children: Sarah, Tabitha, Charles, Elizabeth, Jesse, Nathaniel, Edmund, Euphemia, Caleb, Mary and Ann. At a later date most of the children are shown as residing in Bedford County. Henry died in 1793. His will was filled September 3, 1793.

    The Bedford County Tates were a patriot family, for many of then served and furnished supplies for the army, in the Revolutionary War. Henry and Nathaniel Tate, signed a "Oath of Allegiance", before Edmund Lyne Esq., August 30, 1777. (Va. Mag. H. and B. Vol. 9, p 16.) They are again mentioned in a list of "Militia Ordered from Henry County, to assist General Green. (Va. Mag. H. and B. Vol. 17 p 192) Jesse Tate, was 1st Lt. in Bedford Militia, and signed the "Oath of Allegiance", May 25, 1778, and his brother, Edmund, signed the Oath the next day.

    On January 7, 1783, William King, of Montgomery County, Virginia made declaration for pension, stating he served two months as substitute, for James Mays, serving under Captain Nathaniel Tate, and Lieut. Stephen Goggin, and that he marched to join General Gates at Charlotte, North Carolina. (McAllister’s Section 153, p 134-35.) Captain Nathaniel Tate and Lieut. Goggin were brothers-in-law, Nathaniel Tate married Rhoda Terry, and Lieut. Goggin married Susannah Terry. Stephen Goggin was a relative of Hon. William Goggin, a candidate for Governor of Virginia. Obediah Tate, of Bedford County, married a daughter of Stephen Goggin’s and thus become a brother-in-law of Samuel Clemens, who married Pamelia Goggin, another of Steven’s daughters. Samuel Clemens was a grandfather of Mark Twain.

    CAPTAIN NATHANIEL TATE

    of

    Bedford County Virginia

     

    NATHANIEL TATE, son of Henry Tate, is plainly of record, in Bedford County, Virginia, in 1773, when he married Rhoda Terry, on February 22, and again when he took his second wife, Susannah Gilliam, on January 26, 1778. (Bedford County Bonds) Nathaniel had five children, Nathaniel Jr., Richard, Polly, Zachariah, and Henry F. Zachariah was born in 1781, and Henry F. was born July 12, 1789, and therefore children of his second wife, Susannah Gilliam. It is not known where the other children were born, but believed Nathaniel Jr. Was a child of the first wife, and the other four were children of the second wife.

    Nathaniel Tate, lived in the "North District", of Bedford County, Virginia, continuously from the beginning of the county tax records, 1782, through 1805. In 1782 he owned 544 acres of land near his kinspeople, Captain William Terry, and Lieut. Stephen Groggin, a few slaves, three horses and ten cattle. The following year, 1783, Robert Pleasants conveyed to Nathaniel Tate, 330 additional acres of land, and at the same time conveyed to Frail Archer and Barksdale Nichols, three small tracts. These were kinspeople of the wife of Zachariah Tate, who many years later married Permelia Nichols, who was a daughter of John Nichols, a farmer and blacksmith, and served his state as a Captain in the Militia. In 1784, Nathaniel Tate, purchased 320 acres of land in Campbell County and in the Virginia State Land Office, there is a grant of 1000 acres, to Nathaniel Tate, on a Troublesome Credit. He bought 318 acres the same year, from Stith. Other transactions are by record in the County in his name until 1796, when he disposed of all his holdings conveying to Charles Tate’s estate his last tract of 114 acres. There is no record of any land in his name, in Bedford County, after 1796, in the "North District".

    Nathaniel, and two of his sons, Zachariah and Henry F., are listed in "South District", of Bedford County in 1803 and 1804.

    In 1805, Nathaniel lived in Botetourt County, Virginia. He purchased from Jonathan Tosh 85 acres from his 1200 acre tract, which lay on Peter’s Creek, seventeen miles west of the Court House. He also owned a lot in the town of Salem. Nathaniel died in Botetourt County, Virginia in 1810.

    ZACHARIAH TATE

    ZACHARIAH TATE, son of Nathaniel, and Susannah Gilliam Tate, was born in Virginia, in 1781. His first name, he may have gotten from one of two sources: from his mother’s kinsman, Zachariah Gilliam, or from Zachariah Callaway, his father’s kinsman. His name appears on the tax records of Bedford County, from 1802 through 1821. One record he is listed as Zachariah O. Tate. His middle name may have been Obediah, as there was a relative in the county of that name.

    In 1802, Zachariah Tate was united in marriage to Permelia Nichols, a daughter of Captain John Nichols, who was a farmer and blacksmith, of Bedford County, and served his state as Captain in the Militia.

    The following children were born to this union, given in order of birth; John Gilliam, Nathaniel Nichols, Malinda Susannah, Jesse Notherland, Mary Jane, Henry Marshall, Caleb Warren, and Richard Calvin. The mother of these children died in 1829, and the father, Zachariah having died in 1822, left some of them orphans at an early age. During the years, 1834 and 1835 they all, except Jane emigrated to Missouri.

    HENRY F. TATE

    HENRY F. TATE, son of Nathaniel, was born July 12, 1789. The names of three of his children are available at the present time; Jesse, Caleb, and Charles Gilliam. Charles Gilliam Tate, married Margaret Hyatt, of Franklin County, Virginia. Two daughters, of this union, are of record; Virginia, married a Mr. Wilkerson, and Ida, married Mr. Cooper.

    CHARLES GILLIAM TATE, was mustered into the service in the Confederate Army, during the Civil War, on November 10, 1862. Company B 10th Virginia Battalion, Heavy Artillery, served under Captain J. O. Hensley, and saw service until the surrender.

On the first day of October, 1834, he joined a company, composed of Joe Johnson and Meyer Hunley, with their families, and emigrated to Missouri. The transportation consisted of a five horse wagon, a four horse wagon, and a two horse carriage. They arrived in Fulton, Missouri, on November 25th, after a fifty five day journey. The first work in Missouri, by Warren, was husking corn, for fifty cents a day, where the Asylum at Fulton now stands. During the winter he drove a team hauling goods from Portland, and other river towns, to Fulton. The next year he worked on a farm for Steve Dudley.

    In autumn, 1837, Warren enlisted under Captain William H. Russell, who raised a company in Fulton, for the Seminole War, in Florida, and was mustered into the services under Col. Richard Gentry. The following is his account of the War as given July 1, 1899, at the first Warren Tate Reunion "We went from Columbia, Missouri, to Jefferson Barracks, on horseback, where we were quartered for several days. From there we went to New Orleans, on steamboats, where we remained a few days awaiting for transportation. From New Orleans, we sailed for Florida, and were six days crossing the Gulf of Mexico, and landed at Tampa Bay. The transports which our horses crossed were caught in a storm and blown several miles out of their course, and were three weeks making the trip. Many of the horses were killed. We were attached to General Taylor’s Army, and from Tampa Bay, we marched to Lake Okeechobe. On Christmas day, it being a Sunday, while marching through mud and water, we were fired upon by the Indians, and there in that mud and water, we fought one of the bloodiest battles ever recorded in Indian warfare. I stood behind Col. Gentry, and by taking one step could have touched him, with my hand, when he was shot. He fell on his hands and knees, and exclaimed, "Oh Lord, I am killed", I helped carry him from the field, and as we carried him out he said, "Boys we must run them". After the battle was over, dead men lay so thick I could walk on them without touching the ground. This battle virtually ended the war, and we were discharged at Tampa, in February of 1838, when I came home and engaged in farming".

    Caleb Warren Tate, was first married to Emily Hamlin, on October 8, 1839. Emily was a daughter of Lucy Boone Hamlin, who was a granddaughter of George Boone, a brother of Daniel Boone.
