Thomas Bates and Lydia his wife are
listed in the 1860 Posey County, IN census in Black Township. I cannot find
them or any the people living with them or around them after 1860. I wondered
if Thomas owned any land or left any records that would tell me where they
might have migrated to?
I have looked nationwide from 1870
to 1900 included. In the 1860 online from Ancestry the family is misidentified
as Rates. There is one son in the home with an unusual name Grissem Lee Bates
named for Thomas’ brother here in Cabell County, WV/VA. The English family next
door I cannot tell what their name is for sure? I can be reached at kyowvagen@yahoo.com Thank you

The courthouse confirmed they owned no land in Posey. Any ideas of how to find the family in 1870
