Leon, Leon H and Mattie:The name Rufus Bates just jumped out and hit me.I had a g-g-uncle Rufus, b. Benona, Oceana Co., MICH and died near Walkerville, Mason Co., MICH.
He was the son of Henry Harrison Bates and Minerva Ruth Gifford.Henry Harrison Bates was the son of Chester Bates, who was in Civil War, and apparently abandoned his wife somewhere around Muskegon, Michigan.I have not done research, but a distant cousin has.
