Posted on: Knox Co. Il Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Knox/10913 Surname: BATES ------------------------- Need help in locating Obadiah BATES. He married Nancy and they had property in Knox Co., Turo Township. Obadiah was born 1795 in New York. He moved to Peoria Co. in 1850 with his son-in-law Luther K. GREEN. I found Obadiah in Peoria Co. as late as 1863 but then lose him. Also a Mrs. Hulda BATES, any information about her or family would be a great help. I believe that Hulda may be a daughter-in-law to Obadiah. I think that Hulda is buried in Knox Co. I have been unable to locate Obadiah, Nancy or Hulda's burial spot. Thanks, Cliff
