I am looking for any descendants of Stephen PATE (c. 1765/70--1839) and his wife Honor
HENEGAN-SWEENY of Richmond Co., NC and Carroll o., TN. The PATEs came to Tennessee

The children and grandchildren included Elizabeth Pate m. Nathaniel HAWTHORNE,
Hannah Pate m. Elias ELY, Elijah S. PATE (1791-1880), Stephen S. PATE, Elisha S. PATE (b.
1801), Samuel D. PATE (b. c. 1810), Nathaniel PATE, Richmond L. PATE and Thoroughgood
PATE. I need help
determining which of these were children and which were grandchildren of Stephen. I

other heirs. My ancestor was Samuel PATE (c. 1760-1850) of Richmond County,
Stephen's brother, who also married Honor's sister. I have considerable information

Does anyone have access to the tax records of Carroll Co or the land records
c1840? I have an ancestor, A.W.Taylor who died in Gibson Co c1847 but was in the 1840
Carroll Co census. I need to find out this mans 1st name so I can trace him back to NC.
The only records I have refer to him as A.W.Taylor. If anyone can look this up and tell me
what years he paid taxes in Carroll Co, possibly 1832-1840's, and when he bought his land
I would be grateful. Hopefully a legal description of the land will allow me to find out
if he used his Full name when purchasing the land. If so, then maybe I can find out where
he's buried as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I would be happy to return
the favor. Kashlyn Covington, Las Vegas, NV

I am hoping that someone can help me in trying to research my kinship as stated
above. This letter was written by my uncle WIllian Henry GILBERT of Detroit Michigan
several years ago. This appears to be the history of the Gilbert family in Carroll County
TN. In the 1800's Aron GILBERT Sr. son of Ike and Becky (Thomas) GILBERT, grandson of
Brice and Louisa GILBERT was born. The date was October 29, 1881. This was 3 miles south
of McKenzie, TN. The GILBERT name was given to us around 1850, when Benjamin Prince
GILBERT brought Brice GILBERT who was a slave. Because of his versatilities he paid
$2000.00 for him.
Brice GILBERT, married Lousia GILBERT in the 1850's. She was a slave and the property of
Benjamin P. and Mary Louise GILBERT, by virtue of an inheirtance from Mary Chilton
grandmother of Mary Louise GILBERT. Brice and Louisa GILBERT had two childern. Ike born
1859, died 1942. Martha, born 1861, died 1897. Ike married Becky (Thomas) GILBERT in 1879.
She was the daughter of George and Martha Thomas
