Ruth (1779 NY -1856 IL) marr: Bates
I'm working on my Bates Ancestry - for Obediah Christian Bates - b12 April 1794
For a long time we had him listed as married to a Ruth
This Ruth Paddock was born ABT May 30, 1797in NY. dau of Daniel Paddock(1754-1825) and HelenSchoefeltdied on 30 SEP 1856 in Illinois. (162).She married Obadiah Bates.
Can anyone in the Paddock family confirm this marriage?
And in those records, is there any indication of Obediah's birth place.
Also I have Helen Schoefelt, wife of Daniel as possible dau of Johannes Micheal Zufelt & Catherine b c 1762 Kinderhook, NY.Any confirmation or negation?
