  1. 1.  BATES, ElizabethBATES, Elizabeth was born in 1750 in Virginia, USA; died on 4 Oct 1846 in Du Quoin, Perry, Illinois, USA; was buried in St Johns, Perry, Illinois, USA.

    Notes:

    "...It must have been about the time of the Revolution that little Elizabeth Bates was stolen by the Indians. She was 12, the oldest of five children. Her parents had gone to a clear spot in the South Carolina wilderness where they had raised a crop. The group was preparing to return to the settlement, fearing an Indian attack. The father was helping the mother mount a horse when a war whoop broke the stillness.

    Mrs. Bates begged her husband and neighbor to run. the women and children were taken prisoners. In camp, in the evening, some of the tribe brought in scalps. Elizabeth knew by the color of the hair and the bloody clothes that her father and his helper had met their deaths.
    A little baby brother was born after that. then the Indians continued to retreat with their captives and in attempting to ford the swollen Roanoke River, the baby was drowned. The rest of the family were prisoners about a year.
    Finally the whites and Indians exchanged prisoners and the Bates family went back to the home settlement."
