John Jacob Paton "Pate" Minter

1892 - 1948  (55 years)

• Name	John Jacob Paton "Pate" Minter
  Nickname	Pate
  Birth	25 Jun 1892	Alabama, USA   [1]
  Gender	Male
  _UID	14BE52BF047E42A79AE760A0139C7BF0E925
  Death	10 Apr 1948	Seagraves, Gaines County, Texas, USA   [1]
  Burial	Lamesa Memorial Park, Lamesa, Dawson County, Texas, USA   [2]
  Notes	According to the George/McClung Family Tree at ancestry.com, John was married to Fanney SMITH, who died in 1923, and had two children with her, Welmer in 1918 and Erastus in 1920. I can't find anything to confirm this information - the 1920 census would be especially useful but I cannot find the family in it. There's nothing to say what happened to Erastus, so I have left him out. Welmer/Wilmer is also problematic: George/McClung has got him confused with 'JP' and although Welmer/Wilmer appears in the 1930 and 1940 censuses, I can't find any trace of him subsequently. The George/McClung Family Tree has John's second marriage, to Nettie Pearl Davis, as 22 July 1923 which means that 'JP' (who appears in the 1930 census) must have been Fanney's child. 1920 United States Federal Census: not found. 1930 United States Federal Census (indexed as WINTER by ancestry.com): in District 29, Precinct 8, Red River, Texas (all Minter, all born Texas except John), John P (head, 37, married at 24, born Alabama, farmer), Nettie (wife, 26, married at 20), Wellman (son, 12), JP (son, 10), Juanita (daughter, 4 years 5 months) and Robert D (son, 2 years 8 months). 1940 United States Federal Census: in Dawson County, Texas (all Minter, all born Texas except John), John (head, 47, born Alabama, farmer), Nettie (wife, 36), Wilmer (son, 22, farm laborer), JP (son, 20, farm laborer), Juanita (daughter, 14), Robert (son, 12), ID (son, 9) and Dane (son, 7). John died in 1948. 1950 United States Federal Census: in Seagraves, Gaines County, Texas (all Minter, all born Texas) Nettie (head, 46, widow, manager of own grocery & market retail sore), Robert D (son, 22, warehouseman for manufacturer of carbon black), ID (son, 19, sales clerk, retail grocery) and John D (son, 17).
