GEORGE PATE entered the United States at the Port of New Orleans, LA on January 4, 1853. He arrived with Abagos and Theresa, whom we think were his parents, and a sister and two brothers. They had sailed from the Port of Le Havre, France.
George married Sarah Ann Fry on May 5, 1856, in the town of Bloomington, Indiana. A Methodist Minister named, E.P. Shields conducted the ceremony. George's last name was misspelled Peate on his marriage certificate. In the 1860 census, they are listed as living next door to Abagos, in Salt Creek, and they have two children, Emma Threa, born Feb. 17, 1857 and Louisa Jane, born June 15, 1858.
On October 4, 1858, at the age of 23, George made an application to become a U.S. citizen. In 1862, he enrolled in the 27th Indiana Volunteers, Co. G., and on March 5, the same day, he was mustered in but put in Co. A. This took place in Indianapolis. He signed up to serve 3 years or the duration of the war. By this time, George had another child, a son John William born May 20, 1861.
While in the line of duty on Feb. 1, 1864 at Tullahoma, TN, George was with a detail covering up an officers sink which was surrounded by brush. While engaged in the performance of this duty a limb of a tree penetrated his right ear to the depth of about 2 inches, from the effect of which he lost the hearing of said ear and suffered constant pain. He was treated at the Regimental Hospital at Tullahoma for a time after this accident. He may have been sent home from there as another son William T. Sherman was born in November, 1864. George was discharged from the army on April 6, 1865 at Goldsboro, N.C.
A third daughter, Christina, was born in 1865. Another son, James Calvin was born on Feb. 8, 1868. Sometime before the birth of my Great Grandfather, Robert Edward Lee, Sept. 7, 1870, the family moved to Franklin, in Clinton Co., as this is where he was born. George W. was born January 26, 1873, Charles T. circa 1876, Mary J. circa 1878, and Jesse R. Jan. 2, 1881.
George evidently supported his family as a farmer during this approximately 20 year period. He is listed as a farmer on the census lists.
George and his family lived in Clinton Co. for a time in the 1880's, but did come back to Monroe Co. In 1882, from Clinton Co., he made a Declaration for an Invalid Pension. In 1903 Sarah made a Declaration for a Widow's Pension while she was living in Payne, in Monroe Co.
From Nov. 4, 1882, until Oct. 8, 1897, George was still filling out Government forms. Did he ever receive his pension? He died on Feb. 28, 1903 in Bloomington, Indiana. Sarah received $8 for 7 or 8 months. She died in January, 1904.
