The Tate Family in Hardeman Co., TN

Surnames: Tate, Hazlewood, Hazelwood
Two Tate girls married two of our Hazlewood brothers in Hardeman Co., TN.
I do not yet know whether they are sisters or cousins, but I am sure
that they must be closely related.

Catherine H. Tate married the older brother, Joseph Hazlewood, on 1 June 1826. She was born in North Carolina on 27 October 1808, according to a Bible record published in Jackson, Madison Co., TN. By January 1834 she had died after the birth of one daughter, Letitia Frances Tate. I have seen some LDS records that state that her parents were Francis and Phebe Tate, though this does not seem to be conclusively proven.

The other young woman was Mary Ann Tate, born about 1800-1805,
who married my greatgreatgreatgrandfather William Hazlewood on 29 May 1827. She seems to have been his second wife, as his first child, Thomas Benton Hazlewood, was born about February 1826. We think that this child's mother's name was Priscilla Powell and, until recently, thought that she was the mother of my ancestress, Mary Jane Hazlewood, born in September 1828 in Lawrence Co., AL. A cousin discovered William's marriage to Mary Ann Tate
in the book _Hulls' Heritage_ by Carolyn Hull Estes.

If in your subsequent research you have found any information that seems to connect to these Tates, I will certainly appreciate hearing from you.
