DAR RECANTED
In email to Wayne Witt Bates, the DAR recanted this mistake – copy available

(DAR 3 Feb. 2011)
DAR conjured up “potential fathers” for Reuben Bates Junior., but didn’t name them
DISCUSSION: Took some 3 weeks to obtain names of the “potential fathers, but took only two minutes to disown them. They were from Loudoun Co., not Louisa Co.
DAR RECANTED

NOT RECANTED
THE DAR HAS NOT RECANTED THE FOLLOWING PROVEN MISTAKE
(DAR 3 Feb. 2011)
the other Bates family members found in the same list (War Vol. 4)are from Culpeper Co,not Louisa.
(Bates 16 Feb. 2011)
Not so. “This Bates was Rev. War Soldier James Bates (1762-1825) of Louisa Co., not Culpeper.
Page 100 War Vol. 4
Bates, James – Soldier of Infantry – pd by himself – 18 Aug 1783 – 17.0.0

DAR NOT RECANTED
THE DAR HAS NOT RECANTED THE FOLLOWING PROVEN MISTAKE
(DAR 3 Feb. 2011)
Unfortunately the supposition put forward by Mr. Bates (Wayne Witt Bates, genealogist) that Mr. Duvall
ho received Reuben’s pay he would have been identified as Maj. Duvall.”
(Bates 16 Feb. 2011)
It’s reasonable,, not unfortunate, that in 1783 two years after the War,that Officer Duvall was referred to as Mister Duvall, who was a taxpayer in Louisa Co. the residence of Rev. War Soldier Reuben Bates, Sr.
PENSION PROOF
Pension No. S8362 ex-officer Wm Duval was one and same as Mister Duval,and thereby, was the Mister
that picked-up the soldier pay due his neighbor Rev. War Soldier Reuben Bates of Louisa Co., VA. Per Pension,
Ex-officer William Duval lived in Louisa Co. from 1781 until October 1783
DISCUSSION
Sent DAR proof that Mister Duval, who picked up pay due Reuben Bates in March 1783 was the only Duval in Louisa Co. in year 1783.
