Additional Information

Caleb Bates:

Notes:
It is reputed that Caleb Bates was related to Carter Braxton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. The belief comes from the fact that Caleb is buried in the same cemetery as Carter Braxton Bates.

In 1805, Caleb is listed in the Jessamine County, KY Tax Records as 1 white male over 21 possessing 2 horses and mares. He is not in the 1808 Records, so he must have already left for Harrison County, Indiana.
