It's just amazing how common some names can be.My ggrandfather had a brother named Edward Stubbs Bates, and his wife was Matilda Jimmerson.They can't be the ones you are seeking because mine were both born in 1822, one in NY and one in New Jersey.They moved to Michigan in the late 1840's, were divorced a few years later, and both died in Michigan.
