Major General John Bates Family [22 November 2022]

The Bates Family you found was a branch thru the parents in-law of a great uncle. I must have gotten myself lost in a rabbit hole one night. I'm happy to change it, but haven't looked at that branch for several years.--ArthurSB73 01:52, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Kaye

I noticed your post on Arthur's Talk page yesterday and realized that there had been no follow up. I'm willing to help fix up the tree, but I know nothing about this family and found nothing reliable online in a quick search. Can you provide me more information? For example, were Gen Jon W Bates, Julius Bates and Elizabeth Bates siblings? Do you know the name of their mother (you said their father was a James Bates)? And what is the nature of your documentation - is it something that could be transcribed on WeRelate? Or is there a link we could add?

It would also be useful to correct the information on James Bates and Susannah Fleming (my philosophy is that the best protection against recurring bad data is good data). A few unsourced Public Member Trees show a 5 Aug 1713 marriage date for James Bates and Susannah Fleming, but one also has 8 May 1710. Do you have any reliable information on this couple?

Let me know what you know (reply here) and together we can get the tree into better shape. Thanks--DataAnalyst 12:54, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

I fixed this up to the best of my ability: Family:James Bates and Unknown (3). There was already a separate page for John Bates and Susannah Fleming of Virginia, which I have to assume is correct.--DataAnalyst 15:56, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

I am the 6th great grandaughter of John Bates and Barbary Crenshaw. There is no "W" or any inital in his name as we know of. As for proving James Bates is his father, it is written in many newspapers in 1833 through 1835 in the North Georgia area. DNA proved James Arthur Bates and Susannah Fleming were not relation. The documents we have on James is aready been proven as well as his military records. Also the picture that is floating around Ancestry that protrays it as John and Barbary Bates is not them. It is Joseph and Mary Bates Bandy. We have proven this. There are many mistakes in hundreds of trees as I have spent the last few months working with Hazel Everett on John Bates. What I am trying to find out is who has the documentation of Clayton Bates swimming and drowning. We have not found any information but only what people have said. Unfortunely, we are trying to prove this, several others have said he died as a child but we can't prove any form of death or age. I am currently working on James Bates, whom owned land in South Carolina and John bought it from his father before they moved to Jackson County, Georgia. I hope this piece of information will help.
