This family does not appear to be yours.
1840 census John C Bates/Mary Bowers are in Gibson Co TN with 2 boys & a girl. John died c1844 in Gibson Co.
1859 Thomas J Bates, oldest son, marries Eliza Herdon in Fayette TX
1860 Washington Co TX census has Thomas J & wife, Eliza, with widowed mother, Mary, along with siblings Elizabeth, Elihu & James.
1870 Census, Washington Co TX, Thomas J & wife disappear, but I find a 10 year old Mary, living with her grandma, Mary,and Uncle James.
1870 Census, Elihu marries, and I have tracked him through the 1920 census.....he doesn't appear to have ever moved out of TX
I have not found James after the 1870 census, but am still looking. Same with Elizabeth. However, she may have married, and with the name change tracking will be a little harder to do.
While this family does not seem to connect to yours in anyway, I am posting it in the event someone else is looking for John C Bates & Mary Bowers
I have tracked your Thomas Jefferson and his possible brother, Robert, but have not connected them to John C Bates, or, SO FAR, to any of the Bates lines we have been researching.
Thank you for contacting me, however. If I find anything new on your clan, I'll let you know right away.
