I am still trying to find the parents of Alexander Berry Bates born in 1813 in South Carolina. He married Kizziah Byram May 15, 1845 in Murray County, Georgia. They are shown on the 1850 Warren County, Tennessee census with children: Alexander, James A., and John H. Any information on Alexander or Kizziah would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Beth

Anyone out there who knows anything about the descendents of the children of Ed & Lena Bates from around Pt. Pleasant, Mason City, Henderson WVa or the Gallipolis or Pomeroy Ohio areas. I'm a descendant and would like to get in touch with others.

What I meant was I want to have it changed for the list. It is now rustyaldeant@yahoo.com Thanks, Aldean ----- Original Message ----- From: tendick <tendick@efn.org> To: <BATES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2000 10:14 AM Subject: [BATES-L] change of email address > > How do I change my email address? > Aldean Tendick > descendant Samuel Bates > > > ============================== > Shop Ancestry - Everything you need to Discover, Preserve & Celebrate > your heritage! > http://shop.myfamily.com/ancestrycatalog

Sorry. I lost the e-mail address. I received a request for info on Ann English and I need that person to contact me so I can give him the info I found.

Am looking for information on Frances Bates and wife Sarah. They lived in Wapalow county Iowa in 1857. Their son Samuel Nelson (my great grandfather) was born there Aug 18, 1857and during his childhood Frances and Sarah moved to Bedford, Livingston County, Missouri. That is all I know about Frances and Sarah. Would appreciate any information anyone can help me with. Vicki >From the rolling hills of central Missouri

This is my last hope. I have searched every census record and tax list I can find. I can't find my great-grandparents. Benjamin Bates m. Mariah Allis Ramey Nov. 9, 1888 in Wise County VA. They disappeared off the face of the earth until in 1910 Allice Bates shows up in the Knott County KY census age 42 as a widow with the children. In the 1900 census of Knott Co two of their children (Ditha Ann-my grandmother and her brother John Wilson) are living with a Hall family. Where in the world were Ben,Allis and the other children between 1888 and 1910? Nobody knows, I don't know, they don't know. I need help. Please!!!! Gloria

I have no idea at all what area Thomas and Hubbard settled in. That was one reason I was asking if anyone on the list had and connection with this family. Thomas' father was from Virginia, died I believe, in Washington County. Some of Thomas' descendents may have wound up further south, in GA or NC. That is one thing I am trying to figure out. ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Thursday, September 14, 2000 6:34 PM Subject: Re: [BATES-L] BATES/DUNCAN > What State? USA? What county?

Have hit a BATES brick wall. I have a John A. BATES born about 1796. He died 1860/1870 in Cherokee County, NC. He was married to Margaret "Lou" CUNNINGHAM born about 1801 and died after 1870, also in Cherokee County, NC. I had thought his name to be John Alexander BATES, but believe now that it is possible the name was John Augustus BATES. I've found in the TVA records of graves relocated during their hydro-dam project, called the Davidson-Bates cemetery. Buried there is an Augustus BATES, no date of birth, died 1862. Buried beside him and presumed to be his wife is Margaret BATES, no date of birth, died 1875. William F. BATES is said to have been a son of John and Margaret, and there is a William F. buried in this cemetery. It is possible that he was connected to the BATES line in Bradley County, Tenn. I have also heard that a lot of people in Cherokee County came from an area called Bates Cove, but cannot find out where that was located. Any help, ideas, etc would be truly appreciated.
