Maybe that is why the inclusion of birth and death dates with marriages are important when separating different people with the same name. I was just going over some posts where James Bates the son of James Bates and Anna Casterline is mistaken for his father, let alone how Benj Casterline son of Benj Casterline and Ruth Mather is mistaken for his father just gets under my skin, ya know what I mean? Well, it is funny how Francis Bates son of Francis Bates continues to compound the problem of this lineage, doesn't it? I guess I am just a little maudlin today cause there are so many other things going on in my life, like some bozo who thinks he is the cream of society judging me by my ragged working clothes calling me a clown and a buffoon, but what kind of person would take advantage of an invalid old woman and his daughter on disability? I don't get some people in this world. Maybe we learn from the mistakes of our ancestors, and maybe if we ignore our ancestoral history we don't learn from our mistakes? I for one would like to know more so I can read into my own life's experiences some knowledge by learning from the successes and failures of my own ancestors, wouldn't you? I guess what I am saying is that we need more comparisons of recent behaviors of our common modern families with whatever we can piece together from the records of our ancestoral families if we are ever to learn how to be better than we are. Any idiot can have children, but what is the quality of life if you don't learn from your mistakes? From the patchwork of ancestors that seem to connect to this disjointed family of Casterline, Mather, Bates, Baker, and other names too numerous to mention, we finally have some connection to the past, at least the last five hundred years or so. I still don't understand the disjointed separations of ancestors from Connecticutt to Vermont to New York where they split up and go many different ways, but I am starting to see a pattern very similar to some of my modern relatives who go many different directions in today's world. In some ways, I have been drawn to many of ancestoral settlements of these ancestors over the last forty years and I had no clue why I felt I should be in a town, or state, but after finding so many ancestors in these places I guess it was like a psychic following a feeling I should be there for one reason of another. Have any of you had that psychic feeling when you are somewhere and then find later you had ancestors there you never knew existed at the time you were somewhere? Just checking. I have this theory that some of us are related to Native Americans who went to Europe 30,000 years ago, but it is just a theory as many of us have modern native American ancestors in the last three hundred years. It is possible that there are some psychics among us, and we don't even know it. Yeah, it is weird, isn't it? How many more of you with relations to Bates/ Casterline know of Native American connections in the last three hundred years but haven't posted them in the ancestoral trees? Let me know would ya?

I have two ancestors, Joseph and Thomas McGraw, who came from Ireland and first settled in New Britain, Orange, NY, in 1802. My understanding is Dryden was established in 1811 or so. My Joseph was one of the first families to settle there. Could we have a connection from the old Irish country? Mine were from Newry, Armagh, Ireland. Their mother's maiden name is reportedly Cooey.

In Paris, Lamar, TX there is a Evergreen Cemetery that has a "famous" grave marker. We viewed it over the 4th of July and since he was born in this county I thought I would post it. You can view the marker at findagrave . com . The marker is very large and is of a cross with Jesus holding onto it and it looks like he has cowboy boots on if you look closely at the bottom of the robe. VERY unusual marker from that date and time from the ones I have seen. Willet BABCOCK born 6 OCT 1828 in Ithaca, Tompkins Co., NY died 27 AUG 1881 in Paris, Lamar, TX His marker is located on the front and his wife's marker is on the back of the statue marker. All info mentioned is on the marker. Belinda BABCOCK born 14 FEB 1824 in Hamilton Co., OH died 25 MAY 1909 in Paris, Lamar Co., TX Hope this helps some researchers.

I have a lot of early Van Buren Co.,MI records. It looks like Palmer Reed and William Earl married sisters. William's wife was Elizabeth Thistle. Both women were apparently born in New York City. I checked NYC 1830 census and found only one Thistle. He was Samuel E. Thistle. Palmer & Maria's first child was Samuel E. Earl. Elijah Earl was with Elizabeth in Keeler, Van Buren Co.,MI in the 1850 census. Where was William?

Here it is for others who may be interested. July 7, 1828 The Watch-Tower, Cooperstown, N.Y. Murder and Robbery Summary of article: Capt. Jonathan Brooks of Washingtonville, Orange County [NY?] was found dead apparently from a beating June 24 near Mount Pleasant, Penn. He was traveling west to buy cattle in a wagon pulled by one horse. He picked up a young man, whose name was believed to be Whiting, on the road about seven miles from Belmont. The two stopped at a tavern and then continued on. Twenty minutes later, Whiting returned to the same tavern with the horse and wagon, which he said he bought from Brooks. Whiting then went to another tavern two miles away, and he had a gold watch that he said Brooks had loaned him so that he could keep track of the time tomeet back up with Brooks. This caused suspicion, and he was chased and eventually arrested. In addition to the watch, he had $25 in cash. Whiting was believed to have deserted from West Point the previous week. I am providing the above summary because I obtained a copy of the actual article from a copyrighted source. - Lynn Stevenson Fisher Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
