This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Bates, Wheeldon, Patterson, Adkins Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xAB.2ACI/2230 Message Board Post: I wanted to let you know that Ronald Bates descendant of James and Nancy Last name unknown participated in the Bates DNA study. The results are in. He did not match any of the 88 lines so far in the study. He is kit number 18290 Did not match Moses Bates of Ohio. We do know there were no adoptions back as far as James so the results should be correct. This fits in with my theory that Susan Bates Adkins was a descendant of Daniel or Samuel of Ohio. Moses had two older daughters that are accounted for in the census and his sons pension record. Abigail and Margaret(Peggy). I do not know if any one has any of the lineage of Moses or not. The Pattersons think James wife's last name is Wheeldon from Garrard County Ky. My mom and I traveled to there a few years ago to see for ourselves. We viewed the marriage record but could not glean any proof from it. Would like the list members to search for James with at least 3 children born in KY Tom, Rachel and Grisin ( Grissom) around the ! 1827. Need to know what area of KY James might be from. debbie
