One of the most interesting families in American TV is the Clampett family of the “Beverly Hillbillies”. The Clampett family has a web page:
http://www.clampett.net/story/origins.htmlhttp://www.clampett.net/story/origins.html
Search of this site reveals the following Pate and synonym connections to Clampetts:
PATE (2), PATTERSON (2), PATTISON (1), PATTON (3), PATTY (4).
Clampett is an obvious derivative of Du Paty de Clam, referred to in the basic note, but this is not made clear on the Clampett web site, with whom I'm sharing this note.
