No, my earliest Bates is John, born in Virginia 1774, died Cherokee County, Georgia in 1846. His daughter Louisa Etta Bates was born Elbert County, Georgia in 1821, married my great-great grandfather Richard Holland in Georgia, and survived him by several years. She is found on the 1870 census in Clark County, Indiana. I have no date or place of death for her. Louisa Etta was one of 10 children (Judith, Frances Lucinda, Jesse, George W., Sarah Elizabeth, Rhoda, Lee, Reuben and Frances Marion) of John Bates and Frances Burnett (Va. 1778 - Ga. 1856). I have a pencil drawing of Richard Holland and Louisa Etta Bates made shortly after their marriage. Any connections? Ron Burnett ron.burnett@wch.org.au

As for my Bates family, I talked a male cousin with last name of Bates into doing the DNA Bates testing for me. Should have the results soon. Hope it leads to some new ideas for search.

Don't have info on his ancestry, but there was an Edward J. BATES [1890-1969] who mar. my Emma J. BENNETT [1896-1982] in 1915 in Oregon Co.. I just have info on this couple and their children.. Thought if this Edward was in your line, I could give you info. Lanita
