Leon,
The Indiana Marriage Index through 1850 shows four marriages for Caleb Bates. The one in Crawford Co. is the one I'm referring to. The other three marriages took place in Union Co., Indiana. Caleb seems to have been a popular name for Bates sons! Perhaps they are all related in antiquity. I would expect to find a Kentucky/Virginia origin for my Caleb Bates but Ohio wouldn't be out of the question. My information from family says that Caleb Bates Sr. was born 1 Jun 1782 in Indiana, married Margaret Lowden in 1806, and d. 21 Feb 1835 in Indiana. Union Co., IN, where the other three marriages took place, may be a likely prospect for your relatives because it is very close to Ohio. Let me know what you find.
