** Samuel's grandchild, Baby Boy Pate, son of Young Major William Pate and Hettie Vinnie Lyle, was born 1879 in Texas. I'm assuming this child died as an infant. He was referenced in the 1880 Census as Baby Boy and 8 months old. That would make him born in September 1879. In the Ancestry.com tree of Deyo/Warren Family Tree they have his name as John and that he died in Texas. Why they would name another child John, I don't know.
