Hello Elizabeth,
Thank you for the kind comments. Yes I'd be interested to know
what those records show on this Indian Wm. Bates and can put you in touch with a member of the Bates family whom I'm corresponding with regarding Bloody Bill. He states there is no Native American blood in their family tree, but adds that he has been unable to place Bloody Bill Bates in the Bates genealogy, but has a lead on a possible son of his. So I'm certain your info. once it arrives will be well received. I have posted the question to him that perhaps we are talking about two different Bates` here, as historic records from both the White and Native American cultures show Bloody Bill certainly had some family ties with the Cherokee. I just had a mid-night snake at 2am so I'm going back to bed, but I will get back to you soon with anything new I find on him.
regards,
ab
