Also looking for info on Alfred Bates. Here's what I've got:
1850 census records for Ripley Co., Indiana show him living with daughter Martha and
husband, Barnabas Hopper. Census records indicate Alfred was born in VA. Marriage record
for son, George M, shows fathers name as Albert.
Ripley Co, IN court and misc. records show the following re: Alfred Bates;
Paid a court fine in 1834. Sold property to John Ryan, 1827, to Benjamin Schafer in 1850,
to Wm buchanan Sr in 1840, to Lewis B Wilson in 1851, and to Enoch Buchanan in 1857. Was
involved in an affray in March 1830, found guilty, fined $1.
