Searching for the parents of Hannah Bates, b. abt 1810 in Waterford, NJ. She married Gilbert Kendall (all spellings) abt. 1830. They had 4 children: Benjamin, Clayton, Jane and Gilbert, Jr. Moved to Jay County, IN abt. 1850. Could her father have been the Benjamin Bates, 1780-1867? I know there were lots of Bates in NJ. There's a road there called Bates Mill Rd that leads directly into Waterford Works, NJ. NEED HELP BADLY. Dottie Lewis
