Thanks Les... I've found two marriages of interest: "Lizzie" Bate, married October 1881 to Evander M Williams, in Davidson County. Apparently not Gen. Bate's daughter, as she died 1918 - and Jennie Mastin Bate died before 1909. Jinny "Bates" married Thomas Green Jan 20 1886 in Davidson County. This may well be her. for a "Jinny Bates" in 1886 Davidson County to a Thomas Green. I just ran across the Spring Hill Cemetery transcription that shows the "Lizzie" who married Evander Williams in 1881 apparently was born 1831 and died 1918, so this isn't General Bates' daughter. Jennie Mastin Bate would have been born 1857 or 1858. and if she married 1886, would have been 26 years old. Rebella died 1871 in Edgefield, outside Nashville. I believe Jennie is "Lizzie" misreported on the 1880 census as W B Bate's "neice", as the age corresponds exactly with that of Jennie in 1870 and "Effie M" in 1860. Hope I can find some additional info on Thomas Green in 1880 and 1900. Thanks again!
