Research notes for William Bates
William 1799 - aft 1870
Originally, I thought William must be the younger male living with Thomas in 1840, but then I found this fellow, and I do think he is a more likely candidate.
1830 New York, Oneida, New Hartford 57
William Bates - 3m 20-30 (William and who?)
1f 20-30 (wife Eliza?)
This could be William, if he came over earlier - which might explain why he was less a part of the family reunion - he had had different experiences. The Bates family reunion notes do not support this supposition, but they are not totally accurate.
1840 New York, Oneida, Westmoreland p. 109

This might not be him, but note that Lucina is a servant to the Elias Barnes family from 1900-1920 at least
I don’t know when William died or where he is buried - he doesn’t seem to be in the Lowell Cemetery, where all the rest of the Bateses are.
It’s a little odd that William is not more present in the Bates Reunion notes, since he lived nearby (if this is in fact our William) all his life. But I can’t explain it.
