Bates material that may help you, or maybe not. Someone out there please correct me if my information is wrong, as this is not my line and I have not researched it personally. First, my records show that the Anderson Bates you have mentioned is not the Anderson Bates that was the son of David Bates. The John "Anderson" Bates, son of David, was born about 1784 VA, but died before 1840 in Alabama. He md. Aug 10, 1809 Wilkes Co, GA to Sarah Evans (b.1787 VA-d.after 1860 Coosa Co, AL, d/o David Evans and Mary Harris). 1830 Census Wilkes Co, GA p. 313. 1840 Census Tallapoosa Co, AL (widow). 1850 Census Coosa Co, AL (widow). Their children were Hannah, William E., Eveline, David Mitchell, Sarah Ann, Francis Marion, Thomas Jefferson, and Mary Bates. I show that the Susan Bates that md. John Walker Boswell was the daughter of John Witt Bates (b.1795-d.1844 Coweta Co, GA) and wife Rhoda Evans (b.1798-d.after 1882, d/o David Evans). They also had a daughter Caroline Bates that md. Mr. Colley (?). This John Witt Bates was the son of James William Bates (b.c.1760 Halifax Co, VA) who md. on Mar 31, 1788 Halifax Co, VA to SUSANNAH WITT. James William Bates was the brother of the aforesaid mentioned David Bates. Walt, if you'd like to email me personally, I can send you names and addresses of others researching the above lines, so that you can contact them for more information. Julie

I don't know my father very well, and even less about his family. I will write what I know, and if you can fill me in on any information you know of it would be great. If you could refer me to other places I might look for my family heritage I would greatly appreciate it. I am trying to marry a foreigner, and I must know my family lineage back as far as my great-great-great grandparents; their birthdates and places!!! The sooner I get this info, the sooner I can go on with my life. My name = Natalie Elizabeth Bates born: Sept. 25, 1974 in Athens, Ga (Clark County) My sister = Julie Kristine Bates born: May 4, 1976 in Athens, Ga (Clark County) My mother = Ginger Carol Doster Bates-Sanders born: Feb. 27, 1953 in Monroe, Ga (Walton County) My father = Freddie Garland Bates born: Dec. 23, 1946 in Monroe, Ga (Walton County) His syblings = Regina, Margarette, and Doyle Bates (I think they were all born in Walton County) *** I know that Margarette is not Frances' child, but is Charlie's. Father's mother = Frances Elizabeth Mc Guffy Bates born: Dec. 2, 1927 in Monroe, Ga (Walton County) Her mother = Racheal Conner Mc Guffy Her father = Walter Lindsey Mc Guffy Father's father = Charlie Garland Bates born: March 15, 1924 in Crawford, Ga (Oglethorpe County) ** I am not sure about the exact day, but month is right. His mother = Sally Mae Burt His father = Charlie Green Bates ***Ginger Carol Doster and Freddie Garland Bates married: March 12, 1971 *** Frances Elizabeth Mc Guffy and Charlie Garland Bates married: June 1944-1946 *****My father was in the service = US Air Force 1965 - 1970 US Navy 1976 - 1980 ***** I think Charlie Garland Bates was also in the service, but I don't know when.

Hello Cousins, Just to let everyone one in the Bates Family Association know that we have now joined "cyber space". Sorry we can't make this year's reunion but we will be doing an Elderhostel Program in Australia. GOOD NEWS ... just 2 weeks ago, I proved Rick's line back to Clement! We were talking with Duncan about our find. BAD NEWS ... we changed from PAF 2.31 to 3.0 and are having problems with converting and upgrading. Lauren, sorry I didn't answer you about a tour of the MA State Archives but my mother was ill and dying and we were with her in Buzzards BAy. Mother died Feb. 9th. I will commit to helping the association in anyway I can for the next reunion. Mary Bates Walpole,MA

ANNOUNCEMENT Anyone interested in Bates history or research is invited to attend the Bates Association Reunion from Oct 15-18, 1998 in Plymouth, MA. The Association was established in 1907 and is now international with over 200 members. They publish the Bates Bulletin and sponsor annual reunions for their members. However, this year the reunion committee will accept registrations from non-association members so that they can "try out" the organization. No obligation to join. The host hotel will be the Sheraton Plymouth. A block of rooms is set aside for the Bates Reunion and any unused rooms will be released on Sept 15. The cost of the weekend's activities is $65 per person (whether you come for one day or all 3-1/2) and includes all group activities, speakers, and group meals, but advance reservation is required by Sept 28. Please Email me if you would like a registration packet sent to you. The line up of the weekend's activities is as follows... Thursday evening (10/15) there will be a registration time, a welcome reception, and an opportunity to greet/meet Bates cousins and share research. Throughout the weekend, members will have items on display--books, photos, and memorabilia items of interest including items on loan to us from a Bates descendant in England. Friday will include a bus trip to Boston--a visit to NEHGS and a tour of their new facility, a lecture by their staff, and time for private research. (Membership in NEHGS is not required for this day only with our group). We will also visit the Boston Public Library to tour the newly renovated and highly publicized Bates Reading Room (the library's initial benefactor was Joshua Bates). We will also tour the Columbia Point Archives (where early MA vital records and wills are kept) and have some time for research there also. In the evening there will be a guided/ narrated tour of the Plymouth waterfront by lantern light. (Easy pace and terrain--suitable for everyone including wheelchairs). Saturday AM will be our business meeting of the association, followed by some special presentations. One will be a slide show by our reunion committee showing photos of historic Bates sites of interest in the local area. The second presentation will be by Creative Memories, and will discuss preservation of our priceless photos and memorabilia. We will also have a break for lunch followed by a trolley tour of historic plymouth. In the afternoon, our featured speaker, Dr. Melinda Ponder will speak and show slides. She is an Associate professor of English at Pine Manor College in Wellesley and a Wellesley College grad. She is also an accomplished author and is currently writing a literary biography of the late poet Katherine Lee Bates. Dr. Ponder appeared on a nationally broadcast telecast of a July 4 Boston Pops concert where she was asked to discuss Katherine's writing of the famed piece for which she is best known, "America the Beautiful." She will give a talk about Katharine, her achievements, her research here and abroad to trace her family roots, and also show photos of the family and family tree she prepared. Saturday evening will be a group dinner (possibly a clambake or lobster boil based on interest) and we will end with a Sunday brunch at Isaacs on the Waterfront. It promises to be a wonderful weekend and we hope to have some new Bates researchers join us for it. Thank you for your time. Lauren Delaney, MA Reunion Chair The Bates Association

Dear Howard, I am so sorry about the death of your sister, Ellen. I am sending your mother a card and my prayers are with you and your family. Thank you for sharing this with us. I hope that I speak for the entire BATES Information Line in saying that your taking the time to let us know about your loss makes us all feel that we are indeed part of an extended family. Sincerely yours, Missy San Clemente, Ca

I think this is a pretty hard name to research. However, there are bits and pieces of it done. I have a document from one Perry Streeter in NY that details four generations from approximately mid-1600s to mid-1700s in MA & RI. The line he has documented is Frances-1, Frances-2, Frances-3, William-4. I'm sure that my particular line will tie in with one of these fellows, I just don't know where/how. Other folks have also researched their particular Bates line and put it out on the web. The name is pretty big in CT, RI, and MA (I am searching in RI, expecting to go sometime into MA if I ever find my guy's parents). If you would like a copy of Perry's document or want his Email address, drop me an Email. Another option (if you haven't already) is to run a search on different phrases such as "Bates Family", "Joel Bates," etc. on a metasearcher and see if you don't hit on several individual Bates family pages.

Barb >----------------------- Headers -------------------------------- --part0_905136113_boundary Content-ID: <[email protected]_out.mail.aol.com.2> Content-type: text/plain; name="BATES.TXT" Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable Content-disposition: inline Francis Bates of Topsfield, Massachusetts Your compiler is indebted to Margery Matthews of Foster, Rhode Island for generously sharing her research on the Bates family. Her research is based primarily on vital records and land records of Voluntown, Connecticut and Warwick, Rhode Island, as well as other primary sources. Due to significant losses of important records at Topsfield and Salem, Massachusetts, Voluntown, Connecticut, and North Kingston and Coventry, Rhode Island the connection between the first three generations may be impossible to prove. However, Ms. Matthews feels that there is sufficient evidence for the line as presented below. 1. Francis-1 Bates was born in England in 1627. He married in 1657 Anne Oldham. Anne was born in England, the daughter of _____ and Sarah (North) Oldham (The American Genealogist, 58:4). Sarah (North) Oldham was the daughter of Richard-1 and Ursula (North) North of Salisbury, Essex County, Massachusetts. Perhaps he was the Francis christened at Haydon, Lincolnshire, England on 13 July 1627 to Abraham Bate (International Genealogical Index of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints). Francis was at Ipswich, Massachusetts by 1648. In 1650, he was a settler at Topsfield, Essex County, Massachusetts (Holmes, Ancestral Heads of New England Families, Institute of American Genealogy). Francis appears several times in the records of Essex County. In 1654, he was called as a witness against "Goodwife Batchilir," and served as a witness to other cases between 1660 and 1667. He earned two shillings for clapboards and palles. On 5 August 1662, a deed was made from Francis and Anne bates to William Smith for a 40-acre plot. This deed mentions their small tenement, =A340 payable in corn or cattle four times a year until paid with "my house, upland, upland meadow, fencing, right to common and the river." William Perkins Sr. and John Wilde witnessed the deed. The latter gentleman confirmed in 1698/9 that he had sold Francis property 50 years ago. That land transaction must have coincided with Francis' arrival in Topsfield. In 1663, Francis was named with others as a delinquent taxpayer ("Delinquent Tax Payers," Topsfield Historical Magazine, 17:56). His appeal for relief to the town of Ipswich was denied in May 1663. In November 1664, in the case of Captain George Corven v. Francis Bates over a debt, the verdict of =A37 was for the plaintiff (Essex County, Massachusetts Records). ffrancis [sic] Bates was granted share #19 in the Division of Common Land in March 1669. This is probably the land he was taxed for 9 shillings that same year. Anne (Oldham) Bate's maternal grandfather, Richard-1 North, was a settler of Salisbury, Massachusetts. Anne probably came to America around 1653 or a little earlier. Children (Topsfield, MA Vital records; Immigrants to America before 1750): i. Sarah-2, b. 17 Aug 1659. ii. Simon, B. 27 Dec 1660; d. 29 Jan 1660/1. iii. Ebenezer, b. 20 Jan 1662. 2. iv. Francis, b. 1668, m. Mary Burges. 2. Francis-2 Bates (Francis-1) was born probably at Topsfield, Massachusetts in 1668 and died in the 1740s in North Kingston, Rhode Island. He married, first, Mary Burges (William-1), who died before 9 July (1727-29?), daughter of William-1 and Susannah (_____) Burges. Francis married, second, in North Kingston, Rhode Island 9 July 1721 Margaret Nichols. Francis-2 Bates first appears at (then Rochester, now) Kingston, Rhode Island under "Assessments of Ye Estates of Ye Towne of Rochester, Rhode Island" (NEHGR, 35:126). On 6 September 1687, "Frances Battes" paid pole money. On 3 February 1709, Francis Bates of Kingston and George Tibbets of Greenwich together purchased a share in the New or Great Purchase (Warwick Deeds [hereinafter WD], 2:47). This share entitled them to future division shares of the purchase. The New or Great Purchase comprised the present towns of Exeter and West Greenwich. Francis received share #46 (117 acres) and share #50 (336.5 acres) in the present town of Exeter. He also received share #29 (169 acres) in the present town of West Greenwich. The investors in the New or Great Purchase did not settle these lands, but sold them. Francis Bates and Jacob Mott exchanged lot #6 in the Fones Purchase on 4 March in the fifth year of George I (WD, 4:11). On 18 December 1719, Francis sold lots in the Great Purchase to Mary M. Young of Kingston (WD, 4:149). At some point, Francis purchased lot #5 from Richard Sweet of East Greenwich (WD, 5:28). Francis and Mary may have moved to Windham, Connecticut for a short while. William Burges "of Kingston" had purchased land in Windham in 1716. On 16 may 1719, he deeded 50 acres to "Francis Bates son-in-law and Mary his wife of Windham and the children of Mary" (Windham Deeds, ?:338). On 26 May 1722, William had the inclusion of the children annulled and confirmed the same to Francis. On the same day, Francis Bates "of Windham" sold the 50 acres to Paul _____. Francis and Mary returned to Kingston, Rhode Island in 1726. Francis Bates sold his son "Daniel Baites" 20 acres on the Queen River on 14 April 1726; Francis and Mary both signed the deed. Mary probably died shortly afterwards for Francis was married in North Kingston on 9 July (1727-29?) to Margaret Nichols. In May 1728, Francis deeded 40 acres each to his sons James and Samuel "for his support and his family." Margaret signed these deeds with Francis. In December 1738, Francis and Margaret sold land on the Queen River to John and Benjamin Nichols. In March 1741, they sold land to Robert Gardner. Francis wrote his will probably in 1737 and it was probated in the 1740s. Sons Francis, Samuel, and (Daniel?) had already received their portions and/or a home and also received 5 shillings each. His widow, Margaret, was named executrix; she was to have some land, a house, and cattle. The other children were left various sums or items. Children, birth order uncertain. (There are discrepancies between Francis' will and the vital records of North Kingston as printed by Arnold. Perhaps some not mentioned in will died young.): 3. i. Francis-3, m. Mary (_____); named in will. ii. Samuel, b. at N. Kingston, RI 1 Dec 1698; m. there 9 July 172? Elizabeth Nichols; named in will. Children, surname Bates: 1. Benjamin 2. Samuel 3. John iii.

Francis-3 had already received his portion from his father Francis-2' estate by 1737. Perhaps his portion was money used to buy land in Voluntown, New London, Connecticut where his first son was born in 1716. On 28 July 1772, Francis bought land from Thomas Leffingwell for =A330 (Voluntown, Connecticut Land Records [hereinafter VLR], 1:150). On 3 March 1729, this cordwainer sold his land in Voluntown to Thomas Holeman of Bristol, Massachusetts (VLR, 8:477). Francis was also a Baptist Elder and performed marriages in the 1730s until at least 7 July 1742; he was probably associated with the Anabaptist church in Rice City, the section of Coventry, Rhode Island where he later lived. Francis Bates purchased 53.5 acres in 7 Men's Land in Warwick, Rhode Island on 16 November 1731 from Samuel Whaley for =A355 "where Bates now lives" (Warwick, Rhode Island Land Records [hereinafter WLR], 2). He later purchased 30 more acres from Samuel Whaley near the Moosup River on 7 November 1733 (WLR, 5:215), 1.5 acres of which he sold back to Whaley on 22 April 1734 (WLR, 5:217). Francis purchased lot #56 (202 acres) from Resolved Waterman on 19 May 1736 near Westquoid, a tract of land near the southern boundary of modern-day Foster. On 9 December 1738, Francis Bates of Warwick gave to William Bates "for love and affection" 60 acres of the land that he had bought from Waterman (WLR, 6:80). In the deed, a mill dam on the Moosup River is mentioned; Francis reserved to himself a right to pass and repass from the mill, probably a grist mill. Samuel and Josiah Bennet witnessed the deed. On 4 January 1741/2, Francis and Mary "of Coventry" sold land to their son-in-law, Richard Herrington. This 101-acre plot was bounded by those of George Parker, Samuel-3 Bennett, and William Beats [sic] (WLR, 1:154). The land Francis Bates bought in Rhode Island was in the section of Warwick that became Coventry after 1741.

Sue: I am stuck on one Welcome Bates (b. 1801; d. 1868) who married Ann Eliza James (dau. of Jonathan & Ruth (Barber) James). I have determined at this time that they had at least four children: Thomas J. (b. 1832--mine; md. Abby Susan Stone), Welcome O. (b. April 16, 1835; d. __? buried Pocasset Cemetery Cranston), John Brown Francis Bates (b. Jan. 14, 1840 Long Island, NY; d. Feb. 8, 1887), and Jonathan J. Bates (md. Abby ___?). Some of these are buried in Queens River Baptist Cemetery in South Kingstown, RI. I can't seem (at this time) to find the parents of Welcome Bates b. 1801. I have written to RI for his death certificate because I do have an exact date of death and am waiting to hear back from them. I have also had some correspondence with a gal in NJ who has been trying to get past a John Bates, same time frame, who married a Betsey ____?. We think that he and Welcome may have been brothers. So, until I get past Welcome, I don't see how I can even begin to tie into Perry's tree. If you have any light at all to shed on this family (even if it does not relate to what I have above), please let me know. Thanks.

I think this is a pretty hard name to research. However, there are bits and pieces of it done. I have a document from one Perry Streeter in NY that details four generations from approximately mid-1600s to mid-1700s in MA & RI. The line he has documented is Frances-1, Frances-2, Frances-3, William-4. I'm sure that my particular line will tie in with one of these fellows, I just don't know where/how. Other folks have also researched their particular Bates line and put it out on the web. The name is pretty big in CT, RI, and MA (I am searching in RI, expecting to go sometime into MA if I ever find my guy's parents). If you would like a copy of Perry's document or want his Email address, drop me an Email. Another option (if you haven't already) is to run a search on different phrases such as "Bates Family", "Joel Bates," etc. on a metasearcher and see if you don't hit on several individual Bates family pages. The two metasearchers that I use are: http://www.metacrawler.com/index_power.html http://www.cyber411.com/main.htm See what you get using the metacrawler and then try the Cyber411.

Hold the homicide! I can't help you with your specific line, but there is some information on some Kentucky Bates branches at: http://www.genforum.com/bates/ You can flip through these and find some Email addresses and perhaps some information on your line. The KY folks seem to post frequently here. This branch has published a small volume that relates (I believe) to the founder of "Knott County." I think the KY Bates winds back through RI and/or Massachusetts. You can also do searches on different phrases like "Bates Family," "Margaret Bates," etc. using the metasearchers. Two of these are: http://www.metacrawler.com/index_power.html http://www.cyber411.com/main.htm The latter being one very big metasearcher--use this last as it is SO efficient that it takes a while and will pick up more junk.
