Many family genealogists have confused the data for the three colonial James Tates in our line, mixing dates and spouses that belong in other generations or other Tate lines. Many show James the father and James the son dying in the same year, 1727. This is unlikely, since there is no record of this unusual occurrence. Where I have no clear record of dates of death, I have used an average of ancestors and descendants’ lifespan of 60 years to estimate what those dates might be. Further clarification will be found as research advances in the future.
