I am trying to learn more about my 3rd great grandparents, William DUERSON
(born c1795 in Virginia) and Nancy A. TATE (born c1800 in
Pennsylvania). William and Nancy were married in Clark County in 1819, and
lived there until Nancy's death sometime in the mid to late 1850s. William
then moved across the state line to live with his son-in-law and daughter,
John and Lucy WELMAN, in Louisville. I descend from their daughter William
and Nancy's daughter Anna, who married Charles Henry BALDWIN in 1854.
I know a bit about William's ancestry, but absolutely nothing about the
TATEs. There was a Samuel C. TATE living near the DUERSONs in Clark County
at the time of the 1820 census, and I assume this same Samuel C. TATE
served in the same regiment as William DUERSON during the War of 1812. So
perhaps he is a member of the same TATE family as my Nancy?
If anyone knows anything about either of these families, I would love to
hear from you!
Best regards,
