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. Bates, but I have no further info on his generation. David Holland Bethcharm@aol.com wrote: > > I'm looking for any information on Alexander B. (Berry) Bates and Kizziah > Byram.
