Debi,
David WAS married twice. Family history points to his first wife dying from an Indian raid
in Cumberland County before he returned to Chester County near his father, Robert.
As to the Bates name, there is a possibility that Margaret was an aunt or cousin to
Elizabeth. Grandparent's name of Bates?
I have tried to find this connection. I know there has to be a simple explanation and the
coincidence of the Bates name being so close to Margaret's generation has to point us
to the existence of her last name as Bates, eventually!
