I once found a book in our local genealogy library regarding SC Marriages 1800-1820, in which is listed a James A BATES & Sarah BATES married 4 June 1807. I do not know if that is her maiden name, married name or both. A Moses Waddell is listed as either the bondsman or the minister. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Sorry, I cannot remember the County if one was listed, and I have not been able to find the book again. I am just trying to find or eliminate "possibilities". Marlene Bates Johnson empori6573@aol.com
