HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is what I know:
My grandmother was Mattie Syvilla Bates-Henager b 15 Feb 1905 in Coryell County,Texas.
Her parents are:John Albert Bates b 7 Dec 1851 in Georgia and died 21 Jan 1918 in Coryell County,Texas.Her mother was Cornelia Catherine Griffin b 22 Jun 1859 in Georgia and died 15 Aug 1939 in Coryell County,Texas.John and Cornelia married 26 Aug 1877 in Marietta,Georgia.
This is where I begin to guess:
John's father could be Caleb Bates b abt 1834 in Georgia and his mother Elisabeth Boyd b abt 1833.Caleb and Elisabeth were married 7 Nov 1850 in Cherokee County,Georgia.They must of died between 1860 and 1870 because I don't find them again.
1860 Census Woodstock,Cherokee Co.,Ga shows;
Caleb Bates 26 Farmer
Elisabeth 27
John A 8
Joseph 6
Martha 1
I think I find John in 1870 Census Milton Co.,Ga with following:
Boroughs,George 52 Farmer SC
""'Mary 54
"",Sarah C 29
""'May S 22
Bates,John 18 day laborer
I find no solid leads on Joseph or Martha or his mother.
If anyone can connect my John Albert plaese contact me.
