| Richard Pate was Burgess for Glou-
cester county in 1853. and John Pate
(, was Councillor in 1910. John and Rich
/ ard were both born in England. The
I land grant was given to John In 1862.
But the fact that John was Councillor
and Richard was Burgess is as moth
ing. compared to the belief that 1T was
at j ohn 8 house built upon this very land
on Poropotank Creek. that Nathaniel
Bacon died. This is the last word on
this vital fact, although O!dmixon
frequently tnaccurately asserts that
i Nat Bacon died at tho house
OF DR.. Thomas Green, in Gloucester.
| Thomas Pate inherited the land from
(, hts Uncle John. and at his house was
! ended Nathaniel Bacon's mcteoric life.
| Colonel Thomas Pate was also Bur-
! CESS in 1884. John Bacon had set fire
to the church and dwellings at James,
town. Berkeley. the Governor, became
alarmed and sailed away down the
| river. Bacon went over to Green Spring,
! the Governors mansion, and rested for
two or three days. Then he went over
to Gloucester. stayed first at Colonel
(! warmers plantation and then proceed

What dynamic incident was this

Patel 1t gives life to the monotonous
land grant. Bacon's enemica said one
thing his friends another, and tho va
rious recorded witnesses OF a pathetic
event will sound forever along the
ages. Some said Nat Bacon
was Il hard drinlser and that this un-
fortunate habit caused his death.
Others deny this aspersion and aver
positively that he was 81 sober man. a
