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
