Jacob, I have this I do not know if it will help. But, here it is. John McNeil b. 1806 near Herds Creek N.C., m. Martha Eliza Oats b 1811 d. 1883/4. They Had: Malcolm Alexander Dr. John Norman Sarah Jane Mary Catherine Martha Nicey Neil James Isabella McKay James Alfred Henry Thomas Neill Daniel I have no other information. Patricia I have been researching the OATES  line of the my mother's family for 28 or more years, and I had been side tracked by wrong information from bad sources. Can anyone tell me if the OATES surname might have appeared throughout  Scots History, they were as far as I am aware of Anglo-Saxon. Any help or advise on where I could check would be appreciated. I have taken the line back to James date of birth between 1647 and 1660. He first appeared in North Carolina in the 1690s. Died there in 1703. Thank you Jacob L. Bateman III

Thank you some branches of my family spelled the name Oats. James mentioned in my post had greatgrandsons most spelled their names Oates, but Stephenson's line spelled his Oats.

Dear Pat The Martha Eliza Oats you mentioned do you know anything about her. She could be related to three brothers siblings of my James Oates. Samuel, Stephenson, and Richard. They all spelled their names Oats. Wonder if she is related to the James of Dundee. I had several James in my line. James the Old born between 1647-1660 died in 1703.
