I need any information on the parents of David Ward BATES, born abt. 1775 in MA. He married Julia Tuttle MEADE, born abt. 1780 in NY, and they were in Gallia Co., OH, by 1821 when one of their children, Lyman Park BATES was born. They had at least one daughter, and probably a son named David G. By 1840 they were in Marshall Co., IL, where both had died by 1860. Lyman married Zilpha HAMMETT in Peoria Co., IL, and was in Davis Co., IA by 1870. Karen Alexander
