From "The Buford Family In America" (Beaufort) "This was Major Thomas Pate of Petsworth Parish, Gloucester, at whose house Nathaniel Bacon the rebel, died in Oct. 16, 1676, being buried in the bed of Poropotauck to prevent Berkley from hanging his corpse on the gibblet." The records of Gloucester were destroyed by fire in 1820 so it is hard to trace Maj. Thomas Pate's descendants. But he
