Looking for my Bates Ancestors 1800 to 1900.
I am looking for my great-grandmother's family.Everyone who would have know is deceased. My Aunt had the information and lost it all when her house burned. I have found in the 1900 Census that Viola (Ola) Bates was listed as an orphan living in the home of Dr. J. (Y) M McDowell.Viola was born on February 10, 1888.Dr. McDowell lived in Breckenridge, Jackson, Arkansas.There were three sisters and they were all sent to separate homes.Lillie Bates was born in 1892.She was shown living in the household of Joe Toalbeart, Barnes, Woodruff, Arkansas.Nora Mae Bates was born August 10, 1894 in Tupelo, Jackson, Arkansas.She was living with Anjie Jessen in Augusta, Woodruff, Arkansas.The 1890 Census was destroyed and they have replaced some of it but not Arkansas.If anyone knows any of these people and can help me out I would appreciate it.Their parents were killed in a tornado? Not sure.Thank you.
