Note: Tate enlisted in Company F, 7th Alabama Cavalry Regiment on July 22, 1863 at Tuscaloosa at the age of 16 on the day the regiment was organized. The regiment was consolidated with the 4th (Roddey's) Cavalry Regiment from January 19, 1865 to May 4, 1865. Tate's pay record reflects an entry "Pay for horse, 40 cts per day, $60.00". The 7th was eventually surrended by Lt Richard Taylor commanding the Department of Alabama, Mississippi and East Louisana, at Meridian, Mississippi on May 4, 1865.
