Hi cousins, I have had a genealogists nightmare, I have lost almost all my info. It is a very long and embarrassing story. (Also very frustrating, and don't worry, although I contemplated shooting my hubby, I decided he was too cute) The work of replacing my genealogy is daunting but if I hd to replace my jhusband that would just deter me from this important task of genealogy. :D Therfore, I decided to ask for help. My Bates ancestor is Margaret BATES. Married to Payne JOHNSON Pike Co Ky. One of their children was Uriah Washington JOHNSON. Margaret was the sister to Martin Van Buren BATES Any help would be appreciated. Besides it may save my Hubbys head.:D Grins, Kaye One never knows when one tiny piece will pull the puzzle together.
