Tate was a leading Tensaw metis, the half-brother of Billy Weatherford and nephew of Alexander McGillivray, whose property he inherited in keeping with the matrilineal traditions of the Creek tribe. Peter Randon was also a metis, present in Tuckabatchee when Tecumseh made his 1811 war talk to the Upper Nation of the Creeks and a survivor of the 1813 Ft. Mims Massacre. Seven are reported in the Franklin family: one male over 21 years of age; one male under 21 (making the latest possible DOB ca. 1795), 1 female over 21; and 4 white females under 21.
