John Tate born 1687 in New Kent Co. VA and married Lucy Waddy (1) then Mary Waddy (Tithable at New Kent St Peter's Parish , based on mother's FPOC status That means the mother who married Evans was a person of color. Evans and Gibsons were known Paspagehe who lived in Jamestown area. There was an attempted genicide of their group but Jane The Elder's line made it to survive. The attempt was a little talked about attempt by drowning by throwing them over board. If the tithe on this James Tate was due to his mother's legal status, which is how the British determined who was free and if of color, had to pay a poll tax called a tithe once turning 16 if a male and there were occasions that it was charged to females, then that would explain why this James was paying taxes.

JAMES TATE OF NEW KENT CO., VA. James Tate, a planter, is found in the records of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent Co., Va. (formed from York Co. in 1654) from about 1689 to perhaps 1727 (one of his contemporaries there was Capt. Robert Napier. On May 4, 1689 James Tate was listed as a landowner and processioner in St. Peter's, and in 1704 he was listed as holding 160 acres there. On March 14, 1708 he was appointed overseer of processioning for his district and continued as such until his death. Each parish in colonial Virginia appointed parishioners to process boundary lines periodically to confirm land ownership. James Tate was also said to be a hatter and tailor. There are records that he made clothes for Anne Burris in 1708 and for Anthony Winston in 1711. He married Anne and they had the following children in St. Peter's (where I read the lesson at Sunday Holy Communion in September 1994): Anne, b. Aug. 29, 1689, d. Nov. 13, 1702;Robert, b.

James Tate was probably born about 1662. His parents, exact date of birth and place are not currently known. About 1686 in his twenties, James married. There is no documentary evidence of the first name or surname of James' wife. Some researchers have stated that her first name was Anne, but I believe this is unlikely since no known granddaughters were named Anne. It has also been speculated that her surname was Upham or Waddy, but the Waddy name came into the family when son John married Mary Waddy and the only descendents named Waddy are in John's line. The surname Upham has also been mentioned, but this was an very unusual name and was found mostly in Massachusetts.

James and his wife had 7 children with 2 daughters dying young: Anne died on Nov 30 1702 at age 13; Upham died on Apr 13 1703 at age 2. Except for the oldest son, the children's births were recorded in St. Peter's Parish of New Kent Co VA.

St. Peter's Church is still standing in New Kent Co near Talleysville. It is a quaint, brick, English-looking building in the beautiful Virginia countryside with a historic graveyard. The present building was erected in 1701-1703. When visiting the restored church in the 1990s, it is easy to imagine the Tates attending services there 300 years earlier. The church has claim to an important event in American history because it was the parish of Martha Dandridge Custis who married George Washington. Whether they married in the church building or at her plantation home of "White House" is uncertain, but their marriage in 1759 was performed by the parish minister, Rev. David Mossom, and it remains an important event in the parish history.

On May 4 1689 in St. Peter's Parish, James was named as a landowner and as having his holdings processioned. Processioning of lands was required by the royal government of England and meant that periodically the bounds of every person's land "shall be gone around and the land marks renewed." In 1704 James' name appeared on the rent rolls, showing that he owned 160 acres. He was a hatter and tailor, making clothes for Anthony Burroughs in 1700 and 1708, and for Anthony Winston in 1711.

Unfortunately, there are very few records existing from the 2 counties where James lived. New Kent Co VA had been formed in 1654, but few records remain. The first records of James are found in the church records of St. Peter's Parish.

In 1704, St. Peter's Parish was divided, and the new parish of St. Paul's for New Kent Co was formed. James was listed in the records for St. Paul's Parish for the years 1706 through 1719 many times. He was paid in tobacco for his services to the parish in 1706 (50 pounds), 1708 (35 pounds), 1711 (25 pounds). He was appointed an overseer of processioning along with Thomas Giles in 1708. His lands were processioned in 1711, 1715, 1716, and 1719. His neighbors remained essentially the same over these years with the names of Thomas Glass, Anthony Winston, John Anderson, and Thomas Collett appearing repeatedly.

In 1720, Hanover Co was formed from New Kent Co, but St. Paul's Parish remained the same. Sometime between 1720 and 1727, James died in St. Paul's Parish, Hanover Co. Widow Tate was listed in the church vestry records on Aug 22 1727 with the same neighbors as in previous listings and her 3 oldest sons, John, James, and Robert, appear in the processioning records for the first time. "Widow Tate" continued to be listed in 1739 and 1743.
