Hey all! I'm looking for info on my Agustus Bates, born in the New York Territory. Here's what I know. He was born Jun 29, 1765 and died June 6, 1842. He married Elizabeth Blair (Blow) Aug 18, 1792. They moved to Canada because of all of the unrest going on in the War for Independence. He had a son named David Bates, who was born in Canada and married an Elizabeth Brant (believed to be the daughter of Chief Joseph Brant of the Mohawks. They had a child named Agustus who married an Anna Cook. If anyone has ANY info, please let me know. As for what I know, Agustus is descended from one of 3 cousins who sailed from England. One was a Bates, another a Davenport, and I'm not sure about the other. Thanks for all your help! -Josh Bobbitt kewltoy@earthlink.net ICQ#24675665
