    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.

    3rd If there remain any property of any kind in the hands of sai d Executor or any other person that willed to me by said Willia m Bates, dec'd, and undisposed of by me I give the same to sai d Elijah Bates.

    2590 From the book "Ancestors and Descendants of George and Margarte Bates MARTIN"
    - by Lois Firmin

    "John Bates was a legendary soldier in the Battle of Agincourt."

    John Bate 11-15-1415

    This story of the Bates line that begins with John Bate b 10-25- 1415 All Hallows Parish, Lydd, Kent County, England, continues to Clement Bate b:01-22-1595 Lydd, Kent County, England, as the immigrant to the American Colony at Hingham, Massachusetts as the number 1 Bate of this line in America. It has been taken for the most part from two articles contributed to "Genealogy" (a weekly Journal of American ancestry) by Mrs. E. Grosvenor. The first appeared in the October 26, 1912 issue and the second in the January 1913 issue.

    The details of the lineage as she has given it have been added to from Thermo Copies from the records of "The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints" in Salt Lake City, Utah, where they were confirmed and authenticated. These records cover the above from John Bate of Kent, Eng., 1415 and carry on down to James Alexander Bates 12-1-1764 to 1814 of Montgomery County, Va., to Knox County, Tenn.

    The records of the Church in Salt Lake City were also verified with the records of this lineage in the New England Historical and Genealogical Society.

    Lydd was once a member of the Cinque Port of Romney and lies only four miles from the sea at which was the point of Dungeness, a perilous spot on the English Channel.

    In the Domesday Book, in that part called the Bolden Book, a survey of the Palatinate of Durham made in 1183, it is recorded in medieval latin: "Obertus Bate tenet 17 Bovat.

    An account of the Chamberlain and Church Warden, 1428 to 1484 and 1520 to 1558, the church of All Saints, Lydd, Kent County, England mentions the family Bate (Bates) as having been "important " in Lydd for three hundred years.

    The interchange of the spelling of Bette, Batte, and Bate are said to have derived from Bartholomews son. In these forms the name changed through the centuries and finally became fixed as Bates in early American Colonial times.

    An inscription is the Church of All Saints on which the date is "Ye 6 day-of September 1567 reads "...Bate of that ancient family in the town of Lydd."

    Burke's Peerage gives the Coat of Arms: erect, a stag's head, pierced by an arrow: arms, on a shield sable, a fess between three dexter hands couped argent; motto, Et Corde et Manu.

    A Bates "Rime" says:

    Each man is a branch of a stout oak tree
    After storm and stress it will stronger be;
    In sum it should grow to its proudest size
    Its roots in old earth, its crown in the skies
    A branch is then what a man may be----
    Part of the strength of the family tree.

    2591 From The Todd Family in America, pages 16–18:
    Extracts from the register of the Parish Church, Pontefract, West Riding, Yorkshire, England.

    1592, Sept., the 24 dai Wyll Todd and Isabell Rogerson were married.
    This is apparently the father of the William Todd of the family on this page.
    1593, June the 29 dai Wyll ye sone of Wyll Todd was baptized.
    This is the William of the family on this page. Since he is referred to as "Wyll" here then later as "William", it will be
    presumed that his father was also a "William"
    1594, October the 18 dai John ye sone of Wyll Todd was baptized.
    1593, Julie the 22 dai John Warde and Isabell Bruster were married.
    1596, November ye 29 dai, Katherine ye daughter of John Ward was baptized.
    1614, May the 22 dai Willm Todde and Katherine Ward were married.
    1614, October the 15 day Mary the daughter of Wm. Todde was baptized.
    The five month span betwixt marriage and birth suggest that Katherine probably wore a loose fitting wedding gown.
    1617, January the 12th day Xrofor the sone of Willm Todde was baptized.
    It is interesting to see this spelling of Christrofer (Christopher) where the "X" is use as it is in "Xmas", from the Greek
    letter chi—?—which was used to signify Christ.
    1617, May the 8th day Willm Todd was buried.
    Is this William Jr. or Sr.?

    EXTRACTS FROM AN OLD FAMILY RECORD

    (Superscripts added by this author to facilitate understanding.) Mr. William² Todd was born in Pontefract, in York, in Great Britian, had two children, Christopher and Mary, and was killed in a sort of duel.

    Mr. Michael Middlebrook lived at Hold Mills and had five children, Matthew, Michael, Mary, Hester and Grace. Mr. Edward Wigglesworth married Hester, and the above named Christopher Todd married Grace.

    From these documents it appears that William¹ Todd and Isabel Rogerson married Sept. 24, 1592, had two sons, William², who was baptized June 29, 1593, and John, who was baptized October 18, 1594.

    William Todd², married Katherine Ward May 22, 1614, and had two children, Mary, baptized Oct. 14, 1614, and Christopher, baptized Jan. 12, 1617; he was killed in York, England, in a duel less than four months after the birth of his son Christopher, he was buried May 8, 1617.

    John Todd, who was baptized Oct. 18, 1594, was born at Pontefract, York County, England, and married in 1620, Alice Clayton of Bradford, York County, England, where their son John was born and who married in 1643, Susanna Hunt who was born at Bradford, County of York, in 1621. He emigrated to America, settling first in Charlestown, Mass. and shortly afterwards went to Rowley, Mass. where he became a prominent citizen. He was elected as a representative from that town to the General Court. They had the following
    children, viz.:

    1.John, b. 1655; left descendants.
    2.Catharine, b. 1658.
    3.Thomas, b. 1665.
    4.Timothy, b. 1668.
    5.Samuel, b. 1670.
    6.James, b. 1672.

    It is thought probable that William¹ Todd who married Isabel Rogerson was a son of Reginald Todd, freeman of York, 1605, and a collateral descendant of Sir William Todd, Lord Mayor of York, 1487. Christopher married Grace Middlebrook, daughter of Michael Middlebrook of Hold Mills, Yorkshire—her sister Hester being married to Mr. Edward Wigglesworth. As the record was taken down from the lips of an old woman, a long time ago, it is possible that "Hold Mills" was "Old Mills." The title "Mr." indicates superior position, as also does the story of a duel.

    Christopher Todd and Edward Wigglesworth and their wives came to this country together and settled in New Haven Colony. They were not among the first settlers, 1638, but were among the first additions. Their names appear several times in the records of the Colony. Edward Wigglesworth was a cripple and a shoemaker. The somewhat famous poet was one of his descendants and the family have been somewhat distinguished.
    Christopher Todd became a planter, miller and baker. He owned several tracts of ground. His mill was where the gun factory now [1920] stands at Whitneyville. In 1650 he bought the house built by Jasper Crane, where St. Thomas' Church now stands on Elm Street, and the place remained in the family for a hundred years. He seems to have been a bright, level headed business man, but without much education. His will, signed with his mark, is still to be seen among the New Haven County records.

    2592 From Watertown New York Daily Paper April 23, 1979:
    DAR PUTS MARKER ON GRAVE

    A bonze marker was placed at the grave of a daughter of a Revolutionary War colonel in dedication ceremonies Saturday at St. Lawrence Union Cemetery, Town of Cape Vincent by the LeRay De Chaumont Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution.

    The marker at the grave of Harriett Converse Goodrich Gardner notes that she was the daughter of Col. Thomas Converse who served in the Revolutionary War from 1776 to 1780, wintered at Valley Forge in 1777-78 and settled in Jefferson County, receiving a land grant after the war. He died near Rutland in 1811. The DAR Chapter held a tea in the DAR room of the Flower Memorial Library following the ceremonies.

    A history of the family was given by Mrs. Irene Dawes Dibble, Pittsville, Wisconsin, Miss Doris Lee, Park Ridge, Illinois and Mrs. Marian Dibble Toney of Jacob-Bennett Chapter, DAR, Silver City, New Mexico, all great-granddaughters of Harriett Converse. Eleven descentants from out-of-state attended the ceremonies.
