These three photos are of my great-great-grandfather, Allen Bates. The first was taken at Gallop's Island, Massachusetts ca. 1864, when Allen was stationed there as a new recruit into Company F, 1st Massachusetts Heavy Artillery. The other two are from later in life, taken in Cincinnatti, Ohio and in Orange, Massachusetts, respectively:

This is Clara Isabel Bates, my great-grandmother and daughter of Allen Bates & Mary Catherine Wheelock. The first image is of Clara at the age of 13. Second is Clara at age 8 with her sister, Esther. Third is Clara as a baby, and the fourth is Clara as a teenager. |
Next, we have John Bates and Mary Ann Jacobs, the parents of Allen Bates:
|
Images of Esther Bates, oldest daughter of Allen Bates & Mary Catherine Wheelock, and sister of Clara Bates. The second from the left was shot at Worcester, Massachusetts. |
This is Mary Bates Hill, sister of Allen Bates:
|
This is Clifford Hill, son of Mary Bates Hill. |
This is Mary Catherine Wheelock, my Great-great-grandmother and wife of Allen Bates:
|
|
This is Edwin W. Healy, patriarch of the family and husband of Sarah Ann Bates:
|
Here, we have Sarah Ann Bates Healy, wife of Edwin W. Healy, as seen late in life. |
This is Frederick and Arthur Healy, sons of Edwin & Sarah:
|
I'm not sure how these two girls were related to the Healy family, but the first photo shows Hattie Healy Cass at 4 years old in 1881. The second photo is of Hattie when she was a bit older, and the third is Hattie's sister, Nellie Mabel Cass at the age of 5. |
This may be either Frederick or Arthur Healy, but I'm not sure |
All I know about this woman is that she was photographed at Boston Gallery, 405 Main Street, Worcester, Massachusetts by photographer Charles D. Holmes.
|
No data available on this gentleman at all.
|
Here, again, I have no information about this fellow.
|
This unidentified woman was photographed at Dubuque, Iowa. Since Allen Bates and his family lived in Ames, Iowa for a short time, I can only guess that she is somehow connected to the Bates family, though I'm not sure what the connection is.
|
Here, we have an unidentified infant, one of several.
|
No data available for this woman.
|
No data available.
|
This man was photographed in Webster, Massachusetts in 1883. Given the location of the photographer's studio, he was probably one of the Healys, or some relation of theirs.
|
Either an unidentified mother and daughter or sisters. |
No data available.
|
An unidentified woman photographed at Worcester, Massachusetts.
|
No data available.
|
Another unidentifiable child.
|
Yet another unidentified child. |
No information available on this rather attractive young lady.
|
Another mystery kid.
|
And another. This little girl appears in a photo with her older brother (?), below.
|
No data on this tintype. |
An excellent Civil War soldier image; too bad the man isn't identified.
|
Still another child without a name.
|
No data on this cute little girl.
|
No idea who this is, either.
|
This brother-and-sister photo (presumably) contains the same little girl seen above, yet there is no identifying information for either she or her brother.
|
This could be Mary Bates Hill as a teenager or younger woman. There seems to be a strong resemblance to the photo of her above.
|
This may be Hattie Healy Cass, again, a little older.
|
This may be another Bates relative, since she was photographed in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
|
There is a notation in the album to the effect that this woman may be the same as in the photo I have suggested may be Mary Bates Hill, above and to the left. If so, then I don't think either of them are Mary Bates Hill, but, rather, someone else. The resemblance would suggest she is another Bates, if not Mary. |
These little ones were photographed at Webster, Massachusetts, so they could be Healy children.
|
This bearded fellow was photographed in Boston, Massachusetts.
|
This young man was photographed at Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
