I am looking for info on ORVILLE BATES born abt 1860 who died in 1929. He married FANNY DAILEY BATES who died in 1920.
The BATES family is beleived to have lived in Syracuse Onondaga Co. and Elkland, Tioga County Pennsylvania before moving to Woodhull, NY Steuben County sometime after
1886. The eldest shild was HARRY LEROY BATES born 1886 born in Elkland, Pa. As an adult lived in Fargo, North Dakota Cass County. He may have had a relative there and he worked as a farmhand before moving to Big Flats, NY Steuben County in 1911. From there he moved to Elmira, NY Chemung County and then to Woodhull,NY. He moved to Rochester, NY Monroe Co. before dieing in Wyoming County. He had a brother THOMAS F. BATES who is believed to have died in Rochester, NY Monroe County.
