5.   Family Notes.

   [Source: http://genforum.genealogy.com/tate/messages/4198.html]
   
   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.
