Right now I am leaning toward a Richard BATES who married a Jane MITCHELL in Rutherford County on 29 Aug 1795 with Humphrey BATES as bondsman. Following is my initial BATES information. Some of the children, the younger ones, who were listed as children on the census returns, I actually believe were children of the daughter, Margaret.
