Richard Pate (d.1657) was a planter and politician who served a term as burgess representing Gloucester County in the House of Burgesses.[1][2]
His relationship with Sir John Pate (first and last) baronet of Sisonby in Leicestershire (1593-1659) is unclear, although clearly they are related, and the Thomas Pate who ultimately succeeded to this man's lands was the Baron's youngest son and emigrated to Virginia circa 1672. This older Pate emigrated to the Virginia colony before the beginning of the English Civil Wars, perhaps in 1636.
