My great grandmother, Mary Jane Bates had a brother, a private who served with the Arkansas 26th Infantry, Company K as a private, Andrew J. Bates, born in Dadeville, Mo. in 1844. At the end of the war he settled in Bentonville, Ark and founded the First National Bank and it is rumored that he modeled for the statute in the town square. His brother Madison Bates served at Vicksburg, Miss. and Owen Bates served with the Army of the Tennessee and ended the war in North Carolina. George Preston, Scottsdale, Az. zx5tct@cox.net
