"The author?s goal in Virginia [and WV] Families of Louisa, Hanover, and Monroe Counties was to document the ancestry of her husband, Charles Philip Blankenship. In doing so, she not only uncovered the allied families named in the subtitle of the work, but also traced his family?s migration patterns from South Carolina to Monroe County, West Virginia; from Pennsylvania to Botetourt County, Virginia; from New Kent County, Virginia to Louisa and Hanover Counties, Virginia; and from Henrico County to Prince Edward County in Virginia. Containing pedigree charts, instructions on the drawing of land plats from deeds, individual chapters on each allied family, and comprehensive place and name indexes, this is an outstanding regional history."--Genealogical.com.
The name of Tait, Taite, Taitt, Taitte, Tate, Tatte, Tayt, Tayte, Teat, Teate, Teit and Teite has its origin in Norway where it was used as a personal name. It is an Anglo-Saxon name meaning "cheerful". The family was found in England in the ninth century. John Tate, born ca 1687 in St. Petersburg parish, New Kent, Virginia, is the first proven ancestor. His wife's name was Lucy. He married secondly, Mary, but all children were by the first wife. John died by November 1768. James Tate, born 1618 came from St. Katherine, near London on 27 April 1635. This appears to be the emigrant ancestor. He settled in Virginia.

Historians have long discussed the interracial families of prominent slave dealers in Richmond, Virginia, and elsewhere, yet, until now, the story of slave trader Bacon Tait remained untold. Among the most prominent and wealthy citizens of Richmond, Bacon Tait embarked upon a striking and unexpected double life: that of a white slave trader married to a free black woman. In The Secret Life of Bacon Tait, Hank Trent tells Tait’s complete story for the first time, reconstructing the hidden aspects of his strange and often paradoxical life through meticulous research in lawsuits, newspapers, deeds, and other original records. Active and ambitious in a career notorious even among slave owners for its viciousness, Bacon Tait nevertheless claimed to be married to a free woman of color, Courtney Fountain, whose extended family were involved in the abolitionist movement and the Underground Railroad. As Trent reveals, Bacon Tait maintained his domestic sphere as a loving husband and father in a mixed-race family in the North while running a successful and ruthless slave-trading business in the South. Though he possessed legal control over thousands of other black women at different times, Trent argues that Tait remained loyal to his wife, avoiding the predatory sexual practices of many slave traders. No less remarkably, Courtney Tait and their four children received the benefits of Tait’s wealth while remaining close to her family of origin, many of whom spoke out against the practice of slavery and even fought in the Civil War on the side of the Union. In a fascinating display of historical detective work, Trent illuminates the worlds Bacon Tait and his family inhabited, from the complex partnerships and rivalries among slave traders to the anxieties surrounding free black populations in Courtney and Bacon Tait’s adopted city of Salem, Massachusetts. Tait’s double life illuminates the complex interplay of control, manipulation, love, hate, denigration, and respect among interracial families, all within the larger context of a society that revolved around the enslavement of black Americans by white traders.
