India is my mother;

She doesn't have a foot marker. She is buried beside of her son David Bates (1941-1941). She shares the "Bates" headstone with her son David, mother-in-law Lulu Florence (Headley) Bates, and father-in-law (William J. Bates)

She was the mother of 4 children with Don Headley Bates:
David Bates (1941-1941)
Michael Don Bates (1943-2010)
Elizabeth Ann (Bates) Ferrell
Bruce Lee Bates

*India Hunter was born in Dryden (Tompkins County) New York. The daughter of Everett Dale Hunter and Bessie (Blanchard) Hunter.

She married Don Headley Bates in Weston (Lewis County) WV on April 8, 1936.

*On her marriage license she listed the name of her mother as "Martha Walter Hunter" which was NOT her mother's name. She gave a false name because her biological mother didn't want her to marry my father. She gave her father's real name on the marriage license. I don't know why she didn't give her mother's real name since they were both of legal age.

On the marriage license, her place of birth is listed as Harrison County, WV which isn't true. She was born in New York.
