STILL LOOKING FOR MY GREAT UNCLE IF YOU KNOW HIS WHEREABOUTS CONTACT CHRIS CARROLL [email protected] 2529164970. 2nd Lt Owens Jones Pate 3rd & 67th North Carolina Regiment. This is a color image I had sent Greg Mast in 1994. Thanks Greg.
HELP ME FIND MY FAMILY, HE’S OUT THERE: LT. OWEN JONES “JAKE’ PATE 3RD NCST & 67TH NCST. HELP BRING MY FAMILY HOME PLEASE……………
This week visited my old friend William D Gorges, while we were looking through his image gallery, up popped a familiar 6th plate ambrotype of a Confederate 2nd Lt. I think description said 2nd Lt., No ID. I found this image at my great grandmothers house Nov. 21, 1993, my oldest daughter was 10 days old, I remember saying she brought me good luck.... With this ambro from the same box was a creased 1900’s cabinet card taken in Florida of O J Pate. I tentatively ID’ed the Ambro as Owen J. Pate, served as a Sgt. 3rd North Carolina, wounded at Antietam, later promoted to 3rd (some records say 2nd) Lt. 67th NCST. At that time, I couldn’t prove it was him, nor could I find a rhyme to the reason this Pate man would be in this box, no Pate’s in family. Now mind you, I’ve been a collector since age of 10, and always wanted something from my family, but never found anything. Didn’t mean much, so I let it go to Will around 1996-99.
Well the other day in Will’s shop when I saw the gallery image, it haunted me, who it this guy? Back in the 90’s the research skills were limited to the library and microfilm at the state archives, which didn’t help much, so I decided to revisit this research 20 or so years too late. I FOUND HIM!!!!!!! He is my 3rd Great Uncle, HE”S FAMILY……. I let the only family ACW artifact slip through my hands. In my research I found that he was wounded at Antietam left neck/face spherical ball, and sure as hell, you flip that reverse negative ambro and he has a fresh wound scar left side lower face. It’s him, the wound was only a couple of months old when he was promoted 2nd LT. in January 1863. It’s Lt. Owen J. Pate, MY 3rd Great Uncle.
Please help, please help me find it, PLEASE. I just want to bring him back home. Ironic, my great grandmother’s home that it was found in, was destroyed in the great flood of 99. I don’t want as a collector, I want cause he’s family. Thanks in advance, please help me make this happen.
