Migration – From Michigan to California

Last Updated March 26, 2018 by Michael Bates 2 Comments

Compass

Around 1906, my grandparents and great grandparents moved from Michigan to California. This included all my grandfather’s siblings except one, as well as most of my grandmother’s family. All told, there were at least 21 family members, possibly more, so I’ll call it a migration. I think that the Bates moved out together, but I think the that the Lockwoods may have moved a bit later. I have not determined what may have prompted them to leave Michigan. In this post, I will present what I do know about where they settled in California.

My Aunt Was Twice Connected to My Second Great Grandmother

Mary Udell and Luella Monroe

When I first started asking questions about family history (late 1990s), my aunt, Luella (Munroe) Bates, mentioned that she was related to the Bates family somehow, aside from her marriage to my uncle, Clifford Bates. Luella passed away in 2009, and we were never able to work out the connections. This was one of the early puzzles that got me interested in looking into the family history.

Pension Application

In this post I will be taking a look at an archive relating to Gilbert Bates’ application for veteran’s pension benefits for the War of 1812. He filed the application in early 1880. The conflict lasted from June 18, 1812, to February 18, 1815, and Gilbert stated that he served sometime in 1814. Read more »about Gilbert Bates And The War of 1812

Confirming The Birth Year For Mary Udell

Last Updated August 26, 2021 by Michael Bates Leave a Comment

Mary Udell was my 2nd great grandmother. She was first married to Daniel Emery, and then somewhere around 1839 she married my Gilbert Bates. There appears to be no information as to what happened to Daniel. I have in my records July 20, 1811, as the date of her birth, calculated from her death certificate. In this exercise, I will see how it fits with the dates and ages recorded in the various documents that are available for her. Read more »about Confirming The Birth Year For Mary Udell

The Children Of Mary Udell

Last Updated December 30, 2017 by Michael Bates 2 Comments

In this post, I will be looking at the children from the two marriages of my 2nd great grandmother Mary Udell. She was married twice, first to Daniel Emery and second to my 2nd great grandfather Gilbert Bates. I have found some confusing information on her children in the online records and family trees. I want to take a more detailed look at some of the records and see if I can determine anything new by connecting information from various sources. Read more »about The Children Of Mary Udell
