I was born and raised in Mississippi and did not leave that great state until I was drafted in April 1971. Twenty-Two years later I finally got out of the Army. Presently we make our home in Oregon. This page will tell a little bit about our family when it's finished... if it ever is! I make changes to this page at least every 6 months so stay tuned! We are descendants of John Bates who arrived at Jamestown late in 1623 on the ship Southampton. There is a link right above for pictures of ancestors so you can go there if you are looking for that kind of stuff.
