I have recently read court records that show Preacher John Yates and his young wife Rosie McBride Hayes being charged with bigamy in Van Buren County, Tennessee in the 1860s.They were found innocent of the charges; ... but Rosie appears to have filed for a divorce from her husband Jacob Hayes about the same time.
I would like to find a photograph of Preacher John Yates, and/or of Rosie.
