Tama (aka Sater's) Island?
Hi,
Do you happen to know if there is such a place as Tama Island, north of Burlington? I recently acquired my gg-grandfather (John J. SATER)'s pension papers and his brother and sister-in-law, Michael and Sintha Ann SATER list their street address as Tama Island. At first I thought the T could've been a J or the M a W until I came across this post. Sintha also refers to the island where she lives as SATER('s) Island.
Reading that information about the EADs being early settlers of Tamatown made me think that Tama was right, because the pension papers also list Henry EADs as being a neighbor to John SATER, and I imagine the SATER family lived relatively close to one another.
If anyone has any information about Tama Island or the SATERs, please let me know. Thanks!
