If you have a marriage index, would you please tell me if you have a marriage between Elizabeth Davis and John A. Bates in 1824 (or between 1821 and 1825)? (Elizabeth could be Eliza, Betty/ye, Betsy/ey, Beth? Davis could be a variation on Davis, such as Davice? Bates could be Baits?) Thanks, Lee Anne

Hi, I do not have this DAVIS-BATES marriage but I have something, close. George James STROTHER, Jr. of Johnston, Edgefield District, SC married Eloise E. BATES ABT 1845. She was the d/o of John BATES and Hephzibah Eleanor BOND of Batesburg, Lexington County, SC. The reason I bring this up is because George and Eloise's daughter, Georgianna E. STROTHER, married Henry HILL (b. 1825) and the HILL family of Edgefield/Abbeville County, SC were the antecedents of the Joshua HILL family of Madison, GA. This HILL family also seems to have floated into Washington County, GA, at least, parts of it. I do not know how this all breaks out, exactly, but I would I would take a close look at this South Carolina BATES family if I were you. Your DAVIS family may well be a part of the DAVIS family of Edgefield and Richmond County, GA or even the one that floated with the DANIELL family to Oconee and/or Clarke County, GA. A lot of these families in this area migrated to Morgan County, GA in later years. John R.
