Posted on: Falls County Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Falls/635 Surname: Yates, Sandefer, Hope, Brodie ------------------------- Thank you for responding. I will try to connect. On the 1880 census of Falls Co., it said John W. Yates was from Georgia and his parents from Georgia, His wife also from Georgia, with her father from Florida.I know of 3 children, Mary Anne;Martha and John B. Mary Anne married John Sandefer,(possibly from Ireland),then Brodie, then Hope. I guess it's possible they all left the area and are not buried there but I can find no trace of them after the 1880 census. John W Yates is listed as a farmer.
