From "Ancestors and Descendants of George and Margaret Bates Mar tin" by Lois Firmin:

The earliest we have been able to trace Nathaniel Martin, fathe r of George Martin, is 1786 when he is listed as a Tithable (tax payer) in Nelson County, VA (later KY) and is shown again in 1790.

In 1791, he is shown in the list of Tithables of Capt. Sandowski 's Co. 7 July 1791. The heading also stated "Ordered John Hardi n to take tithables in Capt. Sandusky's and Kennet's Company" Th ese are probably just neighbors organizing themselves into hom e militia as protection from the Indians or white marauders.

Marriage Bonds of Nelson County 1785-1832 contains the following : "Nathaniel Martin married Elizabeth Ray, daughter of Mary Ray . Surety, Thomas Cunningham. Consent filed with bond July 24 , 1787."

Nelson County, KY, including what later became Washington Co to th e mid-north and Cumberland Co. to the south. The Ray families a re listed on the same date when taking tithables and again as ne ighbors in Cumberland Co. On Nov. 17, 1796, in Washington Co. , KY, Nathaniel Martin signed consent and marriage bond as Sucur ity for Sarah OBanon and Nathaniel Ray. It is thought Nathanie l and William Ray were brothers of Elizabeth. These Ray familie s appear to have come to KY from Maryland.

Nathaniel Martin appears in the Washington County, KY. Tax Record s in 1792, 1793, 1794, 1795 and 1796. He owns no land but ha s 4 horses and 13 cattle in 1792, four horses in 1793 but onl y 6 cattle. In 1793, he is taxed for only two horses and 6 cattl e. Same for 1794. Nothing shown for acres in any year and no c attle or horses shown in 1796. Just two days apart, William Mar tin is listed. He and Nathaniel both over 21 Whites but no acre s shown for him either. In 1795, he is listed for Wm. Castleman 's land and in 1797 and 1799 for Wm. Cartright's land.

It may be that Nathaniel left Washington Co. in 1796 to homestea d in Cumberland Co. (originally part of Green Co. which was orig inally part of Nelson Co. KY) The following from "Early Kentuck y Land Grant":

No. 583 dated May 13, 1799. Nathaniel Martin 200 acres second-r ate land on Martin's Creek joining the big clay lick bottom, beg inning at a beech and dogwood thence running N50W, N40 E, S50E , S40W for quantity.

No. 645. John Martin 200 acres second-rate land upon Martin's C reek adjoining the big clay lick bottom, beginning at two ash tr ees corner to Nathaniel Martin's thence with Martin's lin 550 E , S40W to a military line thence with said line N57W and 40E fo r quantity.

(It is suspected this John Martin is Nathaniel's brother or fath er. It is also suspected the William Martin in Washington Co . is either a brother or father, probably a brother since he own s no property.)

In 1800, Nathaniel Martin is listed as an Adjutant in the Corn S talk Militia of Cumberland County, KY. This would indicate that h e could both read and write. The 1800 KY census for Cumberlan d Co KY North of Green River was either not taken or lost, and t his was the area in which Nathaniel lived.

Nathaniel was also in the War of 1812, being a Cpl. in 1812 in B arbee's Regiment of KY Militia and in 1813 a Pvt. in Capt. Joh n Walker's Infantry of KY Militia Detached.

The 1810 census of Cumberland County, KY, lists the following for N athaniel Martin.

Males Female s Blacks
2 under 10 yrs 3 under 10 yr s none
1 10-16 yrs 0 10-16 yrs
3 16-26 yrs 1 16-26 yrs
0 26-45 yrs 1 26-45 yrs
1 over 45 yrs 0 over 45 yrs.


There are several deed transfers in Cumberland Co. from 1817 thr u 1819 by Nathaniel Martin. Nathaniel and George Martin have al ready received grants form the Mountain Dist. Land Office in Nas hville, TN for land on the Caney Fork in the First District of W hite County, Tennessee. In 1817, Nathaniel Martin sold his far m in White County, to Elijah Bates.

From the White County Grant Book in Courthouse, Sparta, Tennesse e:

Indenture made 10 Jan 1817 between Nathaniel Martin and Elijah B ates. Bates paid $600. to Nathaniel Martin for a parcel of lan d in the first district on the waters of the Caney Fork.

From "Robert Young, Sr. Patriot and Pioneer" by Dessie Little S immons and Fred Simmons

Chapter XI (page 485-6)

Margaret Young and William Bates

Margaret Young (? - 7-11-1793) married William Bates (2-02-173 7 - 2-03-1811). Margaret was reared on Buffalo Creek "in the Fo rks of the James River", which at the present time is Rockbridg e County, Va. The actual date and place of birth is unknown. Sh e was a daughter of Robert and Mary Young and so named in the wi ll of Robert Young, Sr. dated February 8, 1792 (Washington Count y, TN).

According to Bates Descendants, William Bates was born in the sa me general area "of the then Montgomery County that was formed i n 1789 into Wythe County, along the Middle fork of the Holston R iver, possibly as far downstream as Seven Mile Ford." [William Bates might be the son of Joseph Bates of Virginia, but no primary document supporting this relationship has been found.]

The Marriage Records of Augusta County, VA, which were recorded b y the Clerk for the years 174801774, on the fly leaves at the en d of the Fee Books, show the names of the groom who applied fo r license during these years. William Bates secured a license t o marry January 15, 1765. Although Margaret Young was not liste d as the intended bride, there is strong and conclusive evidenc e that she was the bride as she was the mother of all his childr en.

From a deed recorded in Montgomery County, VA, it is likely Margare t Young Bates died in that county. William made his will in Wyt he County, VA, and his estate was settled in that county, so it i s assumed he died in Wythe County. Where they were buried is un known.

From the records in Virginia State Library, William Bates serve d from Fincastle County, VA (now defunct and renamed Montgomery Co. ) in Capt. William Cocke's Company for 30 days and was paid 2 lb . 5 shillings for his services. In the LIST OF ACCOUNTS, same c ounty, William Bates was shown as being paid for 107 days "horse hire." This conflict was known as Lord Dunmore's War (SHLDIERS O F FINCASTLE County, VA 1774 by Mary B. Kegley, 1974, pp 13 and 57 , reproduced by Copy Cat, 1941 Franklin Road, S.W. Roanoke, VA) . Other services records by a descendant, Elisabeth Bates Nisbi t, Houston, TX: "Richmond, VA, 6-09-1784, AUDITOR'S ACCOUNTS XXI I, 1784, p 76, Reg. 8383 - Sundry Accounts (Militia), Warrant t o William Bates, 2 lb. 4 shillings, 8 pence. HISTORICAL REGISTE R OF OFFICERS OF CONTINENTAL ARMY 1775-1783 - William Bates (VA ) Ensign, 3rd VA, 8-15-1777, Retired 9-14-1778 (by Heitman, p 91 ). Gwathmey, p 47 states: William Bates, Ensign 3 CL (Continenta l Line) 8-15-1777, Retired 9-17-1778."

William Bates, Henry Bates, Sr. and Henry Bates, Jr. were amon g those who signed the undated Petition to the N. C. Council, en dorsed August 22, 1776 by N.C. Their signatures at the end of t he petition are among those of many pioneer settlers tot what i s now Tennessee. The petition is entitled "to the Hon. the Prov incial Council of North Carolina," a verbatim copy of which is r eproduced in ANNALS OF TENNESSEE TO THE END OF THE EIGHTEENTH CE NTURY, by J. G. M. Ramsey, originally printed 1853.

William Bates was listed in the records of Washington County, N. C. (TN as early as 1776.) According to the deeds in Washington Co., VA (Deed Book 1, p 183). William and Margaret Young Bates li ved in Washington County, VA on 390 acres of land which William rec eived a patent for July 5, 1785. The land was described as "bei ng on both sides of Carlocks Creek on a branch of the Middle For k of Holston River." William Bates paid "two hundred and sixty f ive pounds current money of Virginia" for this land.

After the death of Margaret Young Bates, July 11, 1793, Willia m Bates married Annabel Oates. They were married July 7, 1796 b y the Presbyterian Minister, Edward Crawford. (Marriage recor d contributed by Edna Ann Raiter taken from Fleet's MARRIAGE REG ISTER, COLONIAL ABSTRACTS, p 17.) There were no children by thi s marriage. As far as we have been able to document, William Ba tes was married twice: first to Margaret Young, second to Annabe l Oats.

William Bates died February 3, 1811 in Wythe County, VA. He lef t a will in that county dated January 11, 1811, proved March 12 , 1811. The Inventory of Sales shows two Negroes, Nanci and All en in addition ot the Negro girl, Fillis. These, William had se t aside in his will for the use of his second wife, Annabel. Hi s personal estate was valued at $1,138.71 on June 11, 1811. Th e Inventory and Appraisment of his estate on March 20, 1811 show ed seven outstanding notes and the value of the two slaves a t $ 626.67. However, in the June 11, 1811 Inventory of Sales, t he two slaves were sold for $807.00 and the outstanding notes ha d evidently been paid, as they were not shown outstanding at thi s time. Joseph and John Bates were Executors, but Charles Bate s and Patrick Bates Buchanan were the securities in the sum of f our thousand dollars.

After the death of William Bates, Annabel Bates married 11-12-18 12, Jonas Smith with Nicholas Regan, Minister. She left a wil l in Washington County, VA, Will Book 6, p 118:

I Annabel Smith of Washington County, Virginia do hereby make m y last will and Testament in manner and form following, that i s to say:

Ist I desire that all the money with the exception of $ 21.00 re ceived by me, that I may have in hands of Joseph Bates, Executo r of William Bates, dec'd, and willed to me by said William Bate s, dec'd, with all legal interest accruing thereto may be give n to Elijah Bates.
