BATES in SC
I'm trying to find my BATES ancestors in SC.
Andrew BATES, b. 1810-1820 in SC, was living in Alachua Co., FL in 1860 with wife Sarah, b. abt. 1815, and children John, b. abt. 1845, Laura, b. abt. 1848, Judah, b. abt. 1855, and Wilber, b. abt. 1858. Everyone in the family lists SC as their birthplace.
I found the following and thought someone might help me identify the following BATES in the hope that this Andrew J. Bates and my Andrew Bates in FL are the same person.
Also, can someone tell me what these records are in reference to and where they might be found?
