I am new at tracing my family tree, but am a descendent of Zebulon Scates. I believe William Scates was his father, born 1741 in Halifax Co. VA and married Mary KERSEY. I am trying to find information on Rebecca J. Hannings, first wife of Elisha Scates. Elisha was the son of Joseph Scates, whose father was Zebulon. I would like to identify Rebecca Hannings parents, where she was born, and the cause of her young death. Any information on this Scates family line would be appreciated.
