James BATES 1814 - 1841
It seems that our James Bates did not marry Sarah Fitzpatrick 16th February 1835 at St Johns, Parramatta. Sarah married another James Bates, son of Thomas Bates, transported on the Hillsborugh in 1799. This James Bates died 25th December 1899 at Parramatta, aged 84, born 1815 ? s/b 1821, father Thomas Bates (HILLSBOROUGH 1799, sentenced to life at Middlesex 1798 for theft), mother Mary Catesby (Johnston), Occupation, Bushman (listed on his 1899 death certificate) married Sarah Fitzpatrick and had 9 children. Mary Catesby (Katesby) was sentenced to 7 years transportation in Lancaster, England in 1798 and arrived in Sydney on the Earl Cornwallis in 1801.
So it appears that our James Bates left no descendants.
