Would you happen to have any information on Edward Charles Bates, b. March 6, 1866 in Greenwich, CT, married Laura Irene Evans in Coryell, TX and died in Montgomery, AL, Oct. 30, 1930? They had 3 children, Dorothy, Edward C., and Evans (Bobby). He was my grandfather and I can find no information on him. His father manufactured hats in CT and was quiet wealthy. Edward Charles Bates supposedly went to Harvard (I can't find record), was a lawyer and a judge. He traveled alot through the years, was in Tampa when my mother was born in 1913. Please let me know if you see any connection to your Bates. Thanks, Jerrie
