Searching for info prior to 1910 on George Washington Yates, b. 14 Dec 1868; d. 29 May 1937; married Leavada Blackwell, b. 11 Apr. 1878; d. 15 Oct. 1935. Both are buried at Black Creek Cemetery in Etowah County, AL. George, G. W., was born in Alabama but I do not know where. His father was from Scotland and his mother was from Georgia. He also told my mother that he was "black dutch" which, at that time and in that area, would have meant he was Indian so I assume that his mother was Indian. Not much help but perhaps someone out there has more info on him. Anything would be a help. There was a Thomas Yates who married Viola Blackwell, Leavada's sister and I am assuming he was G. W.'s brother as his father was also from Scotland and his mother from Georgia. Unfortunately, I can't find him in Etowah county prior to the 1900 census. Thanks for any help.
