Note:
          This Thomas Pate may have been the son of Daniel Pate of Wayne Co.,
NC. Daniel died in Wayne County in 1791, and names son Thomas in his Last Will
& Testament. A Thomas Pate sold his interest in his father's estate in Wayne
County, 1811. 
          This Thomas appears on the Richmond County Tax List in 1812. His 1854
obituary states that he was from Wayne County. This may constitute enough
evidence to say they are one and the same man. However, a record that states
this has not been found. A valid DNA sample from a documented ancestor could
help determine the answer to this long standing question.[jhs 07/09] This land
is located NW of Gibson, NC between there and Hamlet, NC, near the once thriving
community of Ghio. The lands of assumed kinsman Thoroughgood Pate are SW of
Gibson. The location does not preclude a relationship.
