Dear Marlene We have never seen the family name before now. We have Grissom Lee Bates wife Julia Cook and parents James Bates and Nancy here in Cabell County VA/WV. Grissom born in KY. James and Nancy possibly married in 1818 Garrard County, KY and her maiden name may be wheeldon. His other siblings were rachel, susan, ellen, andrew jackson, tom, and elizabeth. Any help or direction would be great.
