Umpire William Tate
I can't really find much on this at all, but do you guys think the same William Tate who played for the Hartford Charter Oaks in 1865 could be the NA umpire Tate from 1874? If so, here is an image of him. I know a number of amateur players of the 1860s became umpires in the NA, including Fred Bunce who was on the Hartford club back then too so the possibility seems reasonable but I have nothing except speculation for now.
