Cleta ... I believe that Dorcas Tate's father was Josiah (1792-1850) and mother was Priscilla "Sillar" Wilson. - they should be in Wiki already but can't work on this right now. I may have erred on a maiden name relating to this family - Just wanted you to have a heads up. Gayland might have more info.
