I also found this information:
Booker Pate was the administrator of Hiram's will. The will was probated 10-18-1854.
Souce:
Probate records of Tippah Co., 1853-1857.
After Hiram's death, Margaret lived with the Booker Pate family along with her children: Susannnah, William, Charles, Hiram and Medorah. (6-15-1857). Margaret
died 1 year after Hiram.
The children are found in several homes ...some with
H.H. and Elizabeth Rainey Street's home; some to Bill Childs' home; some to Booker Pate's home.
Medorah with Patrick (her son?) are in the Carroll Holly home in 1860.
William Z.T. Raney is in the home of Thomas Hopper.
Hiram is with the Tucker Ashby family.
Charlie J. is listed with Susan Blackwood in the home of John Essary.
Reiley Kidd, Rainey Times, V.9
"After the deaths of Hiram in 1853 and his wife Margaret in 1854, the children (Nancy Susannah, Eliza Medora, Mary Elizabeth, William Thomas, W.Z. Taylor, Charles and Hiram Jr.) were wards of the Probate Court; from 1867-1870,
several of the younger children were under the guardianship of J.A. Sartain."

Someone must know what the connection is between BOOKER PATE and MARGARET BLACKWOOD RAINEY?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thank You,
