David,
I just read your post.First, let me say that all my notes on the Bates line have come from others so I can't personaly verify or deny anything.But, I have a descendant chart which shows James m to Hannah Evans, which others apparently have, as well.Your quote from the will wouldn't necessarily mean that Anderson was the one married to Hannah, since James, according to my records, had a son named David Evans.Could it be this is the nephew he was talking about?
The wording caused me to wonder. At this time, 1860, David Evans Bates, was living in Texas, which might cause his uncle to instruct his executors the nephews share was to go "to whoever my said nephew may select and be held by the individual so selected".
I don't claim to know.I'm curious as to who James Bates married so I can get my records straight.I have seen references to both Hannah and Sophia. Do you have any info on the descendants of James and Hannah/or Sophia?I only have 3 sons, David Evans, James Fleming, and Matthew, all b in Wilkes Co, Ga.
Thanks for your help
Loretta
