"Among the first business entrusted to Judge Goodpasture, afte r he came to the bar, was his employment to write the will of Jo seph Bates (1777-1848) who lived at Bates' Cove, near Monroe, o n Livingston Road. He was a man of strong intellect, of fair ed ucation and well posted on current events. In religion he wa s a Cumberland Presbyterian, and in politics a Democrat. He wa s a prosperous man of good, sound, judgment; proud of Bates' Cov e, on which he built one of the first, if not the very first, br ick house in the county. He owned many negroes, whom he treate d well, but made profitable. He was the father of the Rev. Thom as F. Bates and a cousin of Mrs. Harvey M. Watterson, the mothe r of Henry Watterson, and of the Rev. Joseph H. Bates, who marri ed a sister of Judge Goodpasture.
Mr Bates died in 1848 while Judge Goodpasture was a Lebanon, an d he was called home to prove his will, which he had written a s well as witnessed. Afterward the will was contested and he def ended it through all the courts, and at last had the pleasure o f seeing it sustained in the Supreme Court.
