John Yates b. abt 1822 is my brick wall in this line. John lived the majority of his life in Tallapoosa County, Alabama. I believe him to have brothers/uncles: James, Alfred, Thomas, George, Henry, Jesse, Maecam...and from one of these names is also the father's name. He was in Alabama as early as 1830.
Here is the genealogy I have thus far. Feedback would be most helpful. Anyone who is familiar with this line needs to know that there is no evidence that he came directly from Scotland as has been assumed in the past at one time or another. Help me to connect the dots :)
