Does anyone know of a John W Bates who may have married a Susan Head in Hall County? They both died young, perhaps around 1865, leaving 4 children: Newton, Mack, Fannie and Lizzie Bates. The children were split up and went to live with relatives. Lizzie (my g-great grandmother) lived with the William Head family; Uncle Billie could have been her mother's brother. During the war, Lizzie went to live with the Hardie family and eventually married James Cornelius Hardie (b. 1847), some time around 1872. Lizzie may have been born in 1849; died in 1875. My grandmother thought that Lizzie's grandparents were Julius and Temperance, who did have one son, John W, born 1805, but I can't find any information about his wife and family.

James Shockley Bates, b 1810, South Carolina, d 1882/1884, Georgia, is my 3rd great grandfather, but I do not know the name of his parents. His first wife was a Forrester (possibly Lydia). Their first son was named Samuel Allen which could be a clue. What happened to his son, my 2nd great grandfather, William E.F. Bates, b 1833, Georgia, is also a mystery. Unknown is the date of death of Sarah "Sary" Coker Bates (wife of William E.F. Bates), after I found her in 1860, Elbert County, Georgia, with her son, two year old, William Bates, living with the family of Asa Coker (her father?). William Webster Bates, my great grand father, was reportedly raised by his father's sister, Mrs Sarah Adeline Bates Cheek. Since my mother's mother was the daughter of William Webster Bates, DNA does not help me.
I enjoyed reading your page about the Bates. I wonder if I am related.
Thank you.

Name: Greg Bates <gpbatlanta@yahoo.com> Date: 2009-02-02 Comments:
My GGGGgrandfather was John A Bates - he married Elizabeth Alford in Greene County Georgia on 26 Nov 1818. He was born in Virginia about 1794 and died in Coffee County Tennessee in Sep of 1868. Elizbeth Alford died within a few years of marriage to John and he remarried Elizabeth Davis about 1824. We have no record of where the marriage occurred.
Many of his descendants move to Izard County after the Civil War.
Via DNA comparison we know that this Bates lineage connects to John Bates who emmigrated from England to Jamestown Virginia in 1623.
I'm always interested in learning more and connecting with anyone who might have knowledge of this family.

Hi-Just found the site. My mother is a Bates and had a cousin Nancy. May or may not have been a name passed down from your Nancy. My mother and her family were from the Calhoun County Alabama area- Piedmont, Nancy's Creek. Her grandfather was Walter Bates. We have Cherokee within our family also. Thought this may help. I would be happy to ask my mother for anymore information if you'd like.

Just came across this site and info. It is a gold mine on my research of the Bates family. We only had info back to Rice Ross Bates. There is also some confusion of his wife Jane and there seem to be two set of children?
My fiance's Mother (Mary Conway{Connie}Stanford Bates, passed away at the age of 95 just 2 yrs ago. She had a mind like a tack and remembered a lot of history. In all the bible records I have retrived and talked to her about, she never mentioned a John Bates cemetary and was not sure of Rice's parents. Thanks for this Gold Mine of info and if I can share anything with you let me know.
Thanks for all your work.

I am the the great granddaughter of William D. Stinson, born 1867 in Alabama. I believe he is the son of John Stinson and Barbary (Barbara) Bates. The birthdate matches him and there are common names associated with John and Barbary' families and my Stinson family. He moved to Suwannee County, FL and married Malinda Jones in 1887. My William died in 1938.
Does anyone have any information about William Stinson that might help verify if my great grandfather is the son of John and Barbary (Bates) Stinson? Thank you for any help that can be given.

I have accidently found your web site and I am very intrested in it. In my great-great-grandfather and gggrandmother,Elizabeth Fowler's household was a Sarah Bates and I tend to believe that she was related to Elizabeth, both I don't know. Elizabeth and Aaron were married in Pendlenton, SC and moved to Forsyth County, Ga with their family. Aaron only showed up in the 1840 census and he died during the Florida Indian war. I have no idea where he is buried but Elizabeth is in the Fowler cemetery beside lake Lanier, along with my ggrandfather William and Rachel Fowler. I was told by their grandson who was 92 that Rachel was one half Cherokee Indian. That I have not been able to prove. If anyone has any information concering this, please e-mail me. I am not presently at home and able to put this site in my favorite place but I hope to find it when I get home. Thank you so much for having a site with a lot of information.

I have accidently found your web site and I am interested in the Bates family also. There was a Sara Bates that lived in the household of William Fowler. Willam was the son of Arron and Elizabeth Fowler who were married in Pendlenton, SC. I have not been able to find out infromation on Sarah. She was in the Forsyth County, GA census and I am wondering if she is not Elizabeths family. I am not at my present home now or I could give you dates. I only found Sarah once and she disappeared. I know where Elizabeth is buried in Forsyth County. Please e-mail me if any one has infromation.

Lovely site! Well done!
On 7/17/2003, Missy wrote in the guestbook that "Isabella McCleskey" shows up in 2 land records in the 96th Dist of SC. I think that she is a different woman than the Issabelle/Isabel/Isabelle J McCleskey who bought land with Julius Bates in GA.
A James Bates appears on the 1790 Greenville, SC census with 2 males under 16 and 3 females on the same page as Benjamin and David Huddleston, ancestors of mine. It's a small world!
Wish that I could shed more light on the relationship between Isabelle and Julius. Her sons did not marry Bates women. Was she his aunt? It's certainly a mystery.

Great website! I found a tidbit of information you might fing useful. Isabella McCleskey is listed in two of the land records index on the SC Archive pages. As it's just index, I'm not sure as to the context of the reference but can guess that she owns land adj to the primary.
19 Nov 1784 William Hutton, 145 acres Long Cane Creek and
the Savannah River, 96th District. Indexed names:
William Hutton, Patrick Calhoun, Esther Wilson, Samuel
Carson, Mary Wilson, George Green, Isabella McCleskey
16 Jul 1785 James Allen, 83 acres Bear Garden Creek, 96th
District. Indexed names: James Allen, Patrick Calhoun,
Robert Allen, Jane Cunningham, Esther Wilson, Isabella
McCleskey, Elizabeth Gardner

I take exception to the words William Grover Bates wrote = like we are the only Bates folks in Northwest Georgia. We are the ones that have did the most work, and can prove our ancestry. I think it is a poor state when you have nothing else to pick on - we try to honor our folks, if it doesn't include yours - so be it?

There are probably several sections of the Bates Family that take exception to the title when it on refers to a single Bates line within the Georgia area. My forefather also came out of South Carolina probably before General John and his family did and settled in the Then Fayette County (now Spalding County) and later a large number moved from Vaughn, Ga to Abbeville, Al where some of them continued Noth and others went south into Florida (my ancestors). There are also other Bates lines, at least six that we know of, that traversed South Carolina to Georgia and all during the approximate time period of the land lotteries. Even saying that, this is still a good site for information that I can discount in my family line. che-ers

Please disregard my previous comment (6/29/2002). since that time I have discovered, by talking with my father, that John C. Bates immigrated from England to South Caroline. He also confirmed that the initial we are using is just family (my line) lore and where it is actual or not is not known at this time. I also have a cousin, Linda Thompson Bates, who is researching her Thompson line and it looks like she may have discovered a connection with John Witt Bates who was a son of General John's brother Julius after she confirmed his middle name was Witt through records in Georgia over the summer. Her husband is a direct relative of mine from a different son of John C.. If anyone comes across a Bates, particularly in the southern Georga area, would appreciate hearing about the information. thanks and che-ers

I am a gggrand-son of Nathaniel Bates who married Lou Dykes in Pulaski, County, Georgia(now Bleckley CO) on 24 October 1833. Information found in the 1850 census for Pulaski County gives Virginia as his birth place. So far, I have been unable to prove or disprove this. The 1840 census for Twiggs County, Georgia shows him living next door to Robert Bates. (They may have been living at the same location in 1840 and in 1850 because of some question as to the exact location of the line between the two Cocnties) Letters of administration were granted to a Mr_______Sheppard for the estate of Reuben Bates Who died in 1835 in Pulaski County. I have not been able to establish any relation between Nathaniel and Robert or any relation between them and Reuben. I interested in establishing contact with anyone who may have have any information that will help find parents of Nathaniel Bates. Thanks!!!! Herbert Davis

I have some confusion with grandmother Laura Phagan(Fagan) as grandmother, but also name of Chambers? I know my mother used to communicate with "Chambers" in North Carolina, but only a memory. Do you have a "Chambers" listed as a family member?

Bates (my great great grand father) who immigrated to South Caroline between 1800 and 1808 (suspected only.) If anyone has any info would appreciate hearing from you.

Howdy yall. And yes I can sound like that when I have spent a little time back in my native Florida where I was born and raised but have not live there much for the last forty years. I have been doing a considerable amount of web crawling and have so far come accross three lines of the Bates family that came from South Carolina into Georga. I have only one of the connected back into Virginia then to England (Lydd, Kent Shire, England) but in looking at a map of that area I have discovered that there may have been several different, non-related families that were using the surname BATE in the 1300-1500 period in just this area. I think I will stick to the U.S. side of things for now justg try to fill in the blank that I have. (I have over 4000 names to be entered into Gene databases so far and only have two lines represented.) I will be looking for help in filling in some of those blanks, particularly in the Griffin, Ga., Blakely, Ga., and Dothan, Al. areas since that the the primary route my grandfather traveled on his way down to altoona, Fl where he lived out the rest of his life before dying at 94 in 1983. I have a previous note that give his name so if anyone has any BATES infor for the areas of interest, let me know and will compare what I have to what you have them maybe we can link or something. che-ers

I am fairly sure you are a relative since my grandfather, Raymond Harvey Bates, was born in Griffin Ga. He moved to several places including Blakely and Dothan, Al before moving to Altoona, Fl where almost all his nine children were born and raised. I have, so far, about 900 lines in a spreadsheet which starts with John (Thomas) Bate in England in 1380 however there are two places of contention I am working on though the practicallity of how I have the lines decending seem feasable. Right now, I am working on the last confirmed ancestor, John C. Bates, who was born in SC (probably Pendleton District) between 1780 and 1803 though I am convenced from other entries I have come across from other families it was much closed to 1780. Good hunting. che-ers
