In 1910, Dighton M. Bates visited many of his relatives in Noble and Monroe counties of Ohio and compiled a genealogy of the BATES family. In 1962, Madge Bates updated and typed Dighton Bates' compilation, titled, "William Bates and Descendants." The following is taken from that book.

"Richard Bates, oldest son of Isaac and Catherine Powell Bates was born in Noble County, and grew to manhood near Sarahsville. He was a carpenter by trade and a good workman. Richard married Miss Elizabeth Davison, a native of W. Virginia. To this union were born six children; Martha, Sarah, William B., Margaret, Mary E, and Robert H. - Martha, the oldest daughter, married Richard Ireland and moved to Indiana, where she had both legs amputated. She was living the last heard of. We do not know how much family she had. - The second daughter, Sarah, married William York. - Then the next, William B., was a soldier in the Civil war and as he was living in the west we have no account of him after the war closed. - Margaret J., the third daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Bates, married James Byers. - Then Mary E. and Robert H. married in the west and we have no further record of them. -Richard Bates and all his family moved to Warsaw, Ind. Richard Bates was over six feet in height and would weigh 280 to 300 pounds and a giant in size and strength. He could carry a load that three ordinary men could hardly carry. He was called “Big Dick ‘Bates.” At one time Dr. M. H. Neville was Joking Richard about his being so large and he said, “Richard, it would be cheaper for you to live than to die, for it would take so long to bury you.” Richard’s reply was, “Doctor, it would be cheaper for you to die than to live, for it takes so much to feed you.” Richard Bates helped his brother, Isaac Bates, Jr., build the Corn Pone meeting house. He done all the finishing work. People would say, “that Richard Bates needed a very strong scaffold to hold him,” while putting on siding. Houses were built much stronger then. The light frame building that is put up these days would be a little shaky with as large a man as Richard Bates working on it. His wife, Elizabeth, died at Warsaw, Ind. Afterwards he married the second time and moved to Michigan, where he died."

Osborne County Farmer, Osborne, Kansas, Wednesday, April 9, 1890, page 5 - "The father of R.H. Bates, of Grant township, died on March 22 at his home in Arkansas. Mr. Bates was, for many years, a highly respected citizen of this county, having moved to Arkansas several years ago."
