Hi Stark County Researchers. I am searching for information on the family of Christian Bates who migrated to Stark County, Ohio in 1811 with his son-in-law Andrew Hackett from Fayette County, Pa. He is listed in the Stark County History as being among the 1st Settlers of Stark County. His son Andrew and Adam moved on to Seneca County, and I have found descendants of theirs. I have found descendants of Andrew Hackett and Nataliana. But I am trying to find Christians other children and to find where Christian was born at. I had a friend who lives in Stark County go to the Library, but she was unable to find anything, as there is so many Bates,Batts, Betts and Betz. I am hoping if I can find some of his childrens descendants, we can compare our notes and back track to find which Bates is really ours. Christine Bates son Andrew and Hannah Ano Homan is my Line.
