Notes
Isaac (s/o James) chose his uncle Robert Tate as guardian on 16 Sep 1788; and, with his siblings, was involved in a lawsuit against the executors of his father's will in 1803. It appears that Isaac married first Esther FINLEY and second Mary STEELE. He was found at Green Co. KY on the census of 1810, 1820, 1830, 1840, and 1850.
Another Isaac TATE (John2 TATE Esq., John1 TATE Sr) living at the time was a first cousin of this Isaac. The will of John TATE Esq. mentions an Isaac TATE, but the brief extract in Chalkley's Chronicles fails to give a relationship. About 1819, court records (Finley vs. Tate) mention John TATE who died Dec 1802 and John's son Isaac, removed to Kentucky. However, a search of census records prior to 1850 found only one Isaac TATE.
