The Descendants of John Tate
John Tate was born in South Carolina between 1773 and 1779. His headstone says he was born in 1773 but in the 1850 Cass county census he gave his age as 71. This would have him born in either 1778 or 1799, depending if he had already had a birthday before the census was taken or not. I tend to accept the age he gave in the census as correct. Around 1800-01 he married Phebe Callaway, also born in South Carolina. Her headstone says she was born in 1775. The Cass Co. census of 1850 gives her age as 75, making her birth year of 1775 correct. One descendant of Isaac Tate, a son of John's, has information that Phebe was married before she married John. If this is the same Phebe, she was married to a Pearson. There is a Phebe Pearson living near the Tate's in the 1800 Spartanburg census. She is listed as a widow with three sons under the age of ten. This would explain why three sons seem to be too old to be John's (John was 4 years younger than Phebe). Family legend says John Tate was either from Spartanburg county or Pendleton county. In the census of 1779 Old 96th District, I find only 3 men named Tate: Richard, Jesse and William. One of these men must be John's father, and William seems the likeliest because the names Jesse and Richard never turn up in John's Line. In the 1800 Spartanburg census there are a William and Perryman Tate. They could be John's brothers as John named two of his sons William and Perryman. In this William's census listing, there are two males between the age of 20-26. Could this be John living with a brother? There is no John Tate in Pendleton District in 1800. In the entire 1790 census for old 96th District, in South Carolina, I find three males with the name of Callaway. They are Thomas Callaway, living in Greenville District, and William and Francis. Thomas has daughters the right age for one of them to be Phebe. The other two don't. Thomas is most likely Phebe's father. In 1810, John is in Greenville Co. S. Carolina. By 1820, John is in Habersham Co. Georgia. On March 22, 1827 his name was drawn in the Georgia Land Lottery. At that time he was living in Cross's Captain's District, #46. District 21. In the 1830 Habersham Co. census, there is a John Tate, but he is too young to be my John. (Could he be John's son - John Jr.?) So, John has either moved out of Habersham Co. or he was missed in the census. He may have moved over into the Cherokee Nation. Cherokee Co. was created in 1832 from part of this land. In 1833 through 1839 there are land deed records for John in Cherokee Co. He is in the 1834 Georgia state census of Cherokee Co. There are 9 family members in his household. John appears in the 1840 Cass Co. Census. In the 1850 Cass Co. census, John is listed as a farmer. Cass Co. was formed from Cherokee Co. so John may not have moved at all - the county lines changed. Family legend has it that John and Phebe had 12 sons and one daughter. John died in 1858 and Phebe died in 1855. They are buried in Tate Cemetery, near Sonoraville, Gordon Co. Georgia. The cemetery is located on land that belonged to their son, Abraham.

She was born between 1807 - 1808 in Georgia. Wilkens received two draws in the Gold and Land Lottery of 1832. He bought land in Cherokee Co. in 1828 and them moved to Gilmer Co. where he bought land Dec. 4, 1838. He sold this land in 1845. In 1840 he was ordained to the ministry at the Baptist Church of Christ at Ellijay. He moved to Rome, Floyd Co. Georgia and bought and sold land there. He was active in the Costansula Baptist Association, which preceded the Floyd Co. Baptist Churches, from 1852 to 1856. In 1856, he was listed as pastor of the Fellowship Church. Sometime before 1857, he moved his family to Arkansas. He is said to have moved in 4 covered wagons. On Sept. 26, 1857 he filed a license to preach in Malvern, Hot Springs Co. Arkansas.

Abraham Tate
Abraham Tate (John) was born October 14, 1806 in South Carolina and died July 10, 1888 in Gordon Co. Georgia. He married Eleanor (Nellie) Caroline Cannon. She was born February 6, 1812 in S. Carolina and died December 12, 1893 in Sonoraville, Gordon Co. Georgia. In the early 1810-1819's Abraham came to Habersham Co. Georgia with his parents. The first record of Abraham is when his name was drawn in the 1827 Georgia Land Lottery. At that time he was a resident of Tate's Captain District. In 1832, Abraham had two draws in the 1832 Gold& Land Lottery of Georgia. There is a land record dated January 2, 1837 that shows Abraham bought land in Cherokee Co. There is a deed record showing he was from Cass Co. in 1838. In 1839, he purchased land in what is now Gordon Co. In the 1840 Cass Co. Georgia census, there is an Abraham Tate, but he is way too old, and his wife is too old, to be my Abraham. Part of Cass Co. was taken to form Gordon Co. just before 1850, so Abraham appears in that census in Gordon Co. Abraham served as a road commissioner for the 6th District of Gordon Co. in 1854 with O. C. Campbell and John F. Casey. He also served as a Road Reviewer of Gordon Co. from 1850 to 1855. He remained in Gordon Co. the remainder of his life. In the 1860 census he is listed as a farmer with 10,000 acres. There are records of Abraham deeding 1500 acres of land to each of his sons, Evan and Theodore, and deeds where he gave his daughters slaves. He deeded land to the Sonora Academy and to the Presbyterian Church in 1847. Abraham and Nellie are buried in Tate Cemetery, Sonoraville, Gordon Co. Georgia.

* In "A visit to Tate Cemetery" there is a mention of 3 children who died young. These daughters must be the ones who died young. But who is Louisa? In the 1850 census, listed under Abraham, there is a child Louisa, age 2. She is not in the 1860 census. But in Abraham and Nellie's family bible there is no Louisa. Their oldest daughter, and oldest child, is listed as Luiza in the bible. Later in her father's will and in a deed from her father she is called Louisa. Did they have two daughters named Louisa? And why isn't this second Louisa listed in the bible? All the other children and their birth dates are listed in the bible, also Abe and Nellie's birth date and Nellie's death date. Abe's death date is from the Calhoun Press.
