Hi, all! I am searching for information about ancestors or descendants of Hampton Robert Bates, born Bedford Co, VA on Oct 14, 1894; died Mar 26, 1969. He was the son of Samuel R. Bates and Laura Rose Witt, and the husband of Mary Mildred Crowder. I am only beginning to research this line, but am very happy to share any information I have or may gain. Thanks for your help, Laura Bates Martin [email protected] Researching: BATES, WITT, CAMPBELL, UPDIKE, LAVINDER
