Hello, I am looking for information on Nicholas Bates and his wife Mary O'Mara who were both born in New Orleans Louisiana in the 2nd half of the 1800's. They had a son Joseph Alexander Bates who was born 1893 in New Orleans. He married Annie Hazard. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks! Debbie

Barbara, Don't know if this will help or not but a number of years ago I found, in Tallapoosa Co., AL a deed from James Y. Baynes to Shannon Baits et al. The deed is for a number of slaves, some mules and horses a road wagon and all for the sum of one dollar. The deed names a Mary Baynes, now the wife of James Yancey Baynes to whom the property was originally given and that Shannon Baits was to take it and manage it, without selling it, and to report any increase annually. The deed is dated 27 August 1845. I don't know if this is a lead. I have no idea who Shannon Baits is. Perhaps some on the list may know.

Hi, I got all of your messages, including the listing. I haven't seen many postings to the list. I'm just on it to watch. My Bates is a collaterial line, and I'm not really researching it. The list is quite and I just read the messages to see if they tie in. There are some of us out here so don't abandon your search yet. For anyone, interested you can find the list archives at: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl Just type in Bates on both pages, but on the second page, you need to select the year to search. This list has been here since 1996.

I'm looking for the father of James Bates. Here are the facts..... James Kelton Bates, born 1844 Mother: Elizabeth Johnson Father: unknown James's parents divorced prior to 1848 when Elizabeth married a second time to Martin Clopton. Elizabeth, Martin, James and a baby, Green are listed in the 1850 Tallapoosa County, AL census. James, his mother Elizabeth, and another son born after 1850 (Hugh Clopton), moved to Walker County, TX in 1853. Elizabeth married a third time to John Corner. James Bates married Louphenia McCulloch in 1868. Hugh Clopton marrried Louphenia's sister, Phoebe McCulloch. My goal is to discover the name of James Bates's father. I noticed that there are lots of Bates families in Autauga County, AL, which is close to Tallapoosa County. I have not been able to find a marriage or divorce record. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Barbara Bates Arlington, TX

Just wanted to let everyone know I am grateful to be told that you received the posting. I discovered my mistake. Way down in the letter was a statement saying an individual email had bounced. Sorry about the inconvenience and thanks for letting me know everything was okay. Diane

Am I to assume that this is no longer an active list. I just tried to send in a listing and it bounced on me. This is a test to see if this one will go through before posting my list again for nothing. Diane

Was told by a cousin of my husband's a few years ago that this was his line. Wondered if anyone else was working along these lines. Would like to hear from anyone concerning them. Will also trade information. 1. Montey BATES died 1782-88 in Wetzel Co., VA. He was married to Elizabeth CROW. 2. Emmanuel BATES married Ann BOOHER on 8 Nov 1804 in Harrison Co, VA. 3. Mary BATES (no dates listed on her) married Daniel SWIGER on 18 Feb 1836 in Harrison Co, VA. 4. John Christopher SWIGER was born 31 Oct 1837 in Talkington Fork, Doddridge Co, VA/WV; died 4 Sep 1887 in Broad Run, Doddridge Co, WV. He married Emily Jane BOGARD, daughter of John R. BOGARD, on 25 Sep 1865. Thanks for any help in advance. Diane Swiger

Hi all, I have heard many people wonder why someone in their family was not on the Social Security Index... maybe this will help for some of the reasons.. not counting good ole' mistakes. Brenda k. moore kingsley@aol.com Subj: Social Security Death Index Research Date: 1/13/00 1:38:05 AM Eastern Standard Time From: jha@pop.mindspring.com (Jeannette H. Austin) To: jha@atl.mindspring.com (Expert Genealogy) EXPERT GENEALOGY Editor: Jeannette Holland Austin Series: Social Security Subject: Death Index Date: January 13, 2000 The Social Security Death Index is an excellent source to search for persons during the more recent years. Essentially, this index includes a list of persons who died in the United States since 1962. However, it is not a complete death index per se, since it only lists those persons who were drawing social security at their time of death. The records actually commenced in 1937. The number of recorded deaths between 1962 and 1991 is estimated as being in the neighborhood of 58 million, with only 42 million to be found in the index. The highest percentage of deaths reported in the index was in 1980 (92.3%). The chances of locating someone in the index who died before 1940 are rather slim. What to expect: The name of individuals in various states, cities and towns, with the zip code of the last known address, along with the year of death. From there, you can order a copy of the social security application by following the instructions of the Social Security Program - which program is located in regional libraries, family history centers. They did have this index online, however, the government took it off. You can order the social security cd-roms from Genealogy Books. Here is a description of what is available: 20-110. Social Security Death Index: US, 1937-1998 - $39.99 The set contains more than 60 million names of deceased individuals who appear in the Social Security Death Benefit Records Collection at the Social Security Administration. Generally, this includes names of deceased Social Security recipients whose relatives applied for Social Security Death Benefits after their passing. Included in the 60 million names are approximately 400,000 railroad retirement records from the early 1900s to 1950s 20-110Z.

THE GEORGIANS by Jeannette Holland Austin This hefty volume is a collection of 283 genealogies compiled over twenty years Taken as a whole, this Georgia genealogical gem represents a cross-section of pioneer Georgia families. The majority of the settlers arrived from Connecticut, Maryland, Virginia, and the Carolinas after the Revolution, taking up bounty grants, joining in land lotteries, and settling lands surrendered in the Indian treaties. The vast majority of the genealogies center on Georgians who arrived from other states. With her imimitable combination of research and writing skills, Austin has created a tour de force in Georgia genealogy - a "must-have." 479 Pages, Index, Clearfield, Softcover, $36.50 MP-FI-0282. 1840 Cobb County Census Index by Frances T.

Petitions of the Early Inhabitants of Kentucky to the General Assembly of Virginia, 1769 to 1792 by James Rood Robertson This work contains a collection of legislative petitions presented to the General Assembly of Virginia by residents of Kentucky County when it was a part of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The topics that make up the subject matter of the petitions may be summed as follows: The system of landholding, the establishment of courts, the organization of a militia, the organization of the community into counties and towns, the perfecting of a medium of exchange, the inspection of tobacco, the foundation of an educational system, the status of slavery in the western country, and the movement toward separation from Virginia. The list of names attached to the petitions--here printed separately and in alphabetical order--is of a paramount interest to the genealogist as it embodies the names of approximately 5,000 of Kentucky's earliest settlers. Many of these are names that will be met with in no other source, since they occur, for the most part, prior to the keeping of public records. Altogether, the names on the petitions appear to be representative of the ethnic composition of the pioneer population of Kentucky. 261, Index, Cloth Hardback, $25.00 1850 CENSUS, SOUTHWEST KENTUCKY.

O'Brien was the historian and chief contributor to the Journal of the American Irish Historical Society during its years of publication, 1898-1941. O'Brien's numerous articles were united by a common objective--to explode the "Scotch-Irish myth," in effect to demonstrate that the Catholic Irish were more numerous than the Ulster Irish in the early days of immigration and more prominent in the affairs of state. O'Brien's collected articles now form a reference work of encyclopedic proportions--accessible, comprehensive, and convenient--and they touch upon the entire spectrum of colonial American history. In the 132 articles assembled here, O'Brien lists no fewer than 25,000 pioneers and settlers, his information deriving from both manuscript and printed sources. The two-volume consolidation also contains a new preface, a descriptive table of contents, and indexes. SCOTLAND G-2520.

REVOLUTIONARY WAR BOUNTY LAND GRANTS Awarded by State Governments By Lloyd DeWitt Bockstruck. 636 pp., indexed. (1996), repr. Balto., 1997. $45.00 After the Revolutionary War, the federal government awarded bounty lands to citizens and soldiers for services rendered. In its simplest form, this involved the exchange of free land for military service. Federal records of these Revolutionary War bounty land awards are well known and readily accessible to genealogists. But the federal government was not alone in rewarding its citizens and soldiers with bounty lands. Nine state governments adopted similar policies, generating even more records. Unlike the federal bounty land records, however, these state records are not centralized; instead, they are found in the various states in the form of manuscript records and printed books and are all but inaccessible to the researcher. Until now, that is! C5950. PENSIONERS OF THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR -- STRUCK OFF THE ROLL. US War Department. 103 pp., paper (1836), repr. 1998. $20.00.

Part B contains the names of 2,086 additional pensioners with their rank and annual stipend, and the starting date of the pension. It further includes a list of widows and orphans. 1008. THE PENSION LISTS OF 1792-1795 With Other Revolutionary War Pension Records. By Murtie June Clark. 216 pp., indexed. (1991), repr. Balto., 1996. $25.00 Two catastrophic fires in 1800, one in the War Department, the other in the Treasury Department, destroyed the earliest Revolutionary War pension application records. These records consisted primarily of claims for relief based on death or disability suffered during the War. Nevertheless, certain pension records pre-dating the critical year 1800 survive in the form of Congressional reports, and these reports would appear to be the earliest Revolutionary War pension records extant. Four such reports have been identified and are transcribed in this work. Within each report the claims are arranged by state, giving, generally, name, rank, regiment, description and circumstances of wounds incurred, and information regarding pension, place of residence and physical fitness.

I am looking for information on Jacob Bates who died in 1793 in Philadelphia - and his widow Hannah (Hopkins) Bates who was still alive in the 1840 census of Philadelphia County. Anyone out there searching this family? Mary

I am a descendant of John C. Bates, born abt. 1818 in Georgia, and Mary Jane Mobley, born abt. 1825 in Georgia. Both lived in Murray Co. in the 1840s, but I do not know if they were born there. They had 4 children: Martha Bates: b. 18 January 1840, in Murray Co., GA; d. 6 May 1909, in Benton Co., GA Greenberry Bates: b. 12 December 1840, in Murray Co., GA; d. 20 November, 1923, in Mt. Pleasant, AR Washington Bates: b. abt. 1849 in GA George Columbus Bates: b. abt. 1856 in Georgia; d. 1940 It is possible that Berry Bates is related to John C.

I'm looking for any information on Alexander B. (Berry) Bates and Kizziah Byram. They were married May 15, 1845 in Murray County, Georgia. This is where my family tree stops. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help Beth

Am searching for info. on David Evans BATES, born 5 Sep 1816 in Montgomery Co., AL. Went to Texas in 1840. Married Eliz. Jane BULLOCK, 10 Dec 1844. Died 7 Jul 1879 in Nagodoches Co., TX. Possible father was James BATES. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Renee

Since I've yet to receive replies from descendants of Alpheus BATES, I thought I'd go back 1 more generation and see if there are any takers on descendants of James BATES. James was born in Chesterfield, MA on August 9, 1767 and married Rebecca COLLIER on January 12, 1792 in Chesterfield. By 1806 they had made their way to Onondaga County, NY, where my ggggrandfather, Alpheus BATES was born. In 1815, we find James BATES in Ellington, Chautauqua Co., NY, where he lived for the rest of his life (I don't have a death date on James). James children were: Anna BATES, b. 1792, married a BURROUGHS Calvin BATES, 1797-1810 Relief BATES, b. 1799, married a ROBBINS (Relief was also known as "Leafy") James BATES, 1801-1891, married Sallie GROVES, d. 1870, in 1824, they had 2 sons, Rensselaer Millard and James M. Eunice BATES, b. 1803, married Alvah HADLEY, b. 1794, one of their sons, Ozro, was acting governor of Arkansas from 3/17/1871-1/6/1873 Alpheus BATES, 1806-1872, married Wealthy HOWARD, 1806-1890, in 1831 (see my previous e-mail for children of Alpheus and Wealthy) I would love to hear from other descendants of James! I would also love to hear from anyone that has information about this BATES family. Lee Taylor

I am a descendants of Alpheus and Wealthy (Howard) BATES' (1806-1890) 4th son, Chambers Sterrett Bates. Alpheus was born near Syracuse, NY and raised in western NY (Chautauqua Co.). He was living in Erie County, PA at the time of his death. I am in contact with many of the descendants of Chambers' line (this is pretty easy, he only had 1 child), but I would like to hear from people descended from Chambers' siblings (or any of Chambers' descendants that have e-mail and aren't currently receiving my mailings with pictures and transcriptions). To the best of my knowledge, the following were Chambers' siblings: Thadeus Howard BATES, 1832-1862 Earl Douglas BATES, 1834-1921 Manly Howard BATES, 1836-1866 Martha Louise (BATES) OSBORN, 1841-1906 George Parmalee BATES, 1843-1866 Orville Alpheus BATES, 1844-1907 Mary Elizabeth (BATES) OSBORN, 1847-1886 Edward Newton BATES, 1848-1921 Helen Rebecca (BATES) MANKLE, 1852-1927 Thanks!

Does anyone have information on Elizabeth Bates, or any of her relatives? She supposedly married Burrell Taylor were 5 May 1822 in Alabama. I am trying to tie her as the mother of Nancy Jane Taylor. If anyone has *any* information regarding her, I would be most appreciative. -- Paul Auger

Hi, I am looking for anyone with information about Charles Sims Bates. I went to 5th, 6th and part of 7th grades at College View school on College St. in Denver, CO with Charles Bates. He lived on Federal Blvd. there. That was about 1945-46. He would have been born around 1934-35. We were in the Highlander Boys together. I would like to talk to him again as we were good friends. If you have any knowledge of a Charles S. Bates, please let know. Thanks Don L. Fox DonFox@cybertrails.com

Hello, I was hoping someone might be researching the same Bates line. Marshall Bates (son of Calvin Bates and Kezia Fink) was born in June 1851 in central Ohio. His family moved to Williams County, Ohio when he was a boy. There he married Rosa Tucker in 1870 and had several children, including Maggie, Calvin, Luella, Cecil, Flory and Violet. They moved to Indianapolis. His wife Rosa died in 1897 en route to Indy. He married Dora Mikesell (b. May 1879) on November 5, 1898 in Indianapolis. I thought they lived in Indianapolis for a number of years thereafter. However, I cannot find out if they had any children together or when and where he and Dora died. If anyone happens to have any information on these two, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks, Mike Bates

Hi all, I am told that the names Fleming and Bates appear often in records of Bates Association of Virginia. I have a Harriette Fleming Bates,born Mar 22 1866, Gorey,co. Wexford, Ireland, dau of Joseph Bates and Harriet Roe. I am curious- is there a connection or is it just coincidence? Noel Bates Queensland, Australia.
