Mary Mitchell

Notes:

WeRelate.org presents documentation that Mary Mitchell is the wife of John Tate and not Mary Doak.

http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:Mary_Mitchell_%28132%29

Below are the extracts of the argument.

From the following Augusta Co. VA record, John Tate and Francis Beaty were brothers-in-law.

10th October, 1769. Francis Beaty, of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, Gent., to his brother-in-law, John Tate, power of attorney to sell all lands belonging to Francis, including land bought of John Greer, on Flat Spring Branch, joining the other land where I last lived; also 200 acres joining Charles Berry. Teste: Robert Gay, John and James Beaty.

To be Francis' brother-in-law, John would have married either Francis' sister or Francis would have married John Tate's sister or the two would have had to marry sisters. No documentation has been found to prove the first two options, so it is more likely John and Francis married sisters.

Thomas Mitchell's will in 1734 mentions his daughter, Mary, along with his wife Elloner, son John, and other daughters Martha (eldest), Jean and Jenat. The will was written 4 May 1734; probated 14 Nov. 1734, (Lancaster Co, PA, Will Book A, vol 1, pg 17)

Mary Doak is a least likely candidate for two reasons. One, there is no will of Samuel Doak in Augusta County records to indicate that Mary was his daughter. In addition there are no records of any of Samuel's other children listing her as a probable sister.

Two, the following record is interesting because Samuel Doak would have been the brother of Mary, if she was the daughter of Samuel Doak, Sr. Samuel Doak in his will extract names his "brother-in-law John Finley, husband of Samuel's sister Thankful. However John Tate is not also named as a brother-in-law, which he would have been if Mary, the sister of Samuel Doak was his wife, but he is named as an advisor to the executors. This is another key piece of evidence to possibly support Mary as a Mitchell and not a daughter of Samuel Doak, Sr.

Page 497.--5th November, 1771. Saml Doak's will, farmer--To wife, Jane; to daughter, Elinor, unmarried; to wife, to have disposal of all household furniture at her Pleasure to her 3 daughters, Elinor, Mary, Isbel; to son, John; to oldest son, David, plantation David now lives on as Robert Doak laid it off; to son, Samuel, plantation at head waters of Rockfish in Amherst; to son, John, plantation testator lives on; to son, Robert, tract testator formerly lived on in Rockfish, joining Capt. Crawford; daughters, Jane and Elizabeth. Executors, wife Jane, son David, son-in-law Wm. Brown. Brother-in-law John Finley and John Tate to advise executors. Teste: John and James Mitchel, William Tate, John Tate, Jr. Proved, 19th May, 1772. by James Mitchel and the Tates. David Doack qualifies with John Tate. Nathaniel Steel.

There are many records linking the Tate, Mitchell, Beaty, and Doak Families in the Augusta Co. VA records.

Notes:

Tate Families of the Southern States, Volume II, by Laura Mentzel and Ethel Updike, 1984

William Tate settled in Washington County about the time, John and Robert did and is thought to be a brother. He was on the tax rolls for 1784. On February 20, 1793, Joel Hobbs and wife Margaret sold 145 acres on both sides of Big Moccasin Creek, a spur of Clinch Mountain on the Holston River to William Tate. It would seem that he was not a public spirited man, however, there are so many acts attributed to the other William Tate over this period that I wonder if this William Tate was active, but the other William has received all of the credit, living in the same county as they did. He lived within five miles of Col. John and Robert Tate. He executed his will, September 15, 1803 in Russell County, VA, probated October 25, 1803 by wife Elizabeth.

References: VA Tax Rolls; Russell County Deed Book 1, page 254, Will Book 2, pages 42, 43.

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

On May 1, 1782 Washington County Virginia issued land grants of 250 acres to Robert Tate and 100 acres to John Tate, both on Moccasin Creek. On February 20, 1793 William Tate bought 145 acres on Moccasin Creek adjoining the 424 acres granted to Robert Tate.

Robert and John were active in County militia and government affairs from 1781 to their deaths. William can find himself to farming. William died testate on Sept. 15, 1803. The two of Roberts and one of John sons were witnesses to his will. He named the widow, four sons and a daughter. Robert junior. It was named executor.

Moccasin Creek was located in Botetourt County prior to 1773; in Fincastle County from January 1773 to January 1777; in Washington County from 1777 to May 1786; in Russell County May from 1786 to present

William married Elizabeth Mitchell. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The Tates are a tangle to unravel. Robert's grandparetns are most likely John Tate and Sarah Beaty. His parents, John Tate II or Jr. and Mary Mitchell's descendants tended to stay in Augusta and Rockbridge Counties, VA and marry into other Scot-Irish families of the Shenandoah Valley i.e. the Campbells, McClungs, Stuarts, Finley, and Alexanders.

Robert, who married Margaret McClung, has been confused by researchers with his uncle, Robert Tate, who settled in Washington Co. VA and had three sons, Col. John Tate, Robert Tate, and William Tate all played prominent roles in the history of Southwestern Virginia. Robert and Margaret McClung had about 11 children who had deep ties to Augusta and Rockbridge Counties, but some researchers have combined the uncle and nephew Robert's families. See what I mean about a tangle of Tates?

Uncle Robert's descendants were the Traveling Tates. His offspring founded Tatesville in Pulaski Co. KY or settled in Warren and Grundy Co. TN and DeKalb Co. AL. Robert's grandchildren ended up in Missouri, Texas, and Oklahoma.

Analysis from We Relate:
http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:John_Tate_%2835%29

Some sources claim that this John Tate married Elizabeth McClanahan, but in the Chalkley's records, it states that "John Tate, Jr." married Elizabeth. According to other sources, including submissions to familysearch, the John Tate that married Elizabeth McClanahan was the son of John Tate and Jane Steele, which would explain the reference to "John Tate, Jr." in the Chalkley's record.

By a process of elimination, the John Tate Jr who married Elizabeth McClenachan on 27 Feb 1794 must be the son of James2. The other Johns in the 3rd generation are accounted for: John of John2 was not mentioned in a 1814 court case (Finley vs Tate) with his siblings and was probably one of the two unnamed sons who were "since dead under age, unmarried and intestate;" John of William2 went to IN; and John of Robert2 married Nancy Moffett.

Starting in 1790, John appeared on the Augusta County tax lists as John Tate Jr to distinguish him from his grandfather John Tate Sr and uncle John Tate Esquire. A small holding of 1 white titheable and 1 horse in 1790-93 indicate he was less well off than John Esq who had about a half dozen horses and several slaves. For several years after 1793, John Jr had one or more additional titheables— - one probably being his brother Isaac. After the death of his uncle John Esq in 1802, no John Tates were listed in Augusta.

BIOGRAPHY from Find A Grave

The Tate Family moved to Callaway County, Missouri in 1829. Isaac at that time was 21 years old. He was six feet tall, strongly built and finely proportioned. His weight in mature years was about 210 pounds.

As he was a magnificent man physically, so he had a magnificent mind which he kept in fine working order.

At the age of 25 he married Jane Henderson and settled on the edge of Grand Prairie, on what is known as the Colonel Boyd Farm. In 1847 he moved to Tate's Prairie where he lived until his death. Colonel Tate was an intelligent, enthusiastic and successful farmer. He was not a trader nor a speculator.

He was a great friend of education. For many years and up to the time of his death he was a member of the Board of Trustees of Westminster College and no member was more constant in his attendance or gave wiser counsels as to its management through it's years of struggle for life and success.

Colonel Tate was a man of deep religious principals. These determined his conduct in everything and gave weight to his character. He was, for 54 years, a ruling elder in the Auxvasse Presbyterian Church and never allowed anything but serious sickness to keep him from the public service of God's house. He recognized God in his home and always maintained the duty of family prayer.
