A big "thank you" to you for the Bates Co, MO info. I had googled the name a few times but never located this info. That county just repeatedly came up in my husband's as well as my family's history that I knew there was more to the story than what I had been able to uncover. Thanks again. This is a time when my good turn did not result in punishment. (:-) Good hunting to you. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
