His middle name was likely Vergene. Censuses place his birth year between Dec 1832 and 1835. Isaac appears on the 1900 census with his son Charlie and his family, and indicates he was a widower at that time. His grandson Walter (son of Eugene Vergene Bates)applied for the tombstone in 1932 stating that Isaac had died in 1895. At this time all we know is that his death occurred after Jun 13, 1900 when the census was enumerated. All three of Isaac and Lavina's sons (Charles, Eugene Vergene aka Eugene Alvin, and William) lived next to each other at that time. Texas claimed sovereignty over this area in the 1890's and opened these lands to Texas Revolution and CSA veterans which likely accounted for Isaac's relocation to this area at that time.
There is no indication that there were Indian attacks in this region around the turn of the century. Consider however, if something of this nature could account for the fact that on the 1900 census Isaac refers to himself as widowed and Lavina is not found anywhere on a census. Subsequently Lavina appears with her son Eugene and his family in 1920 and 1930 indicating she was a widow. her surname remains Bates in 1920, and is Myers in 1930, shortly before her death.
MARRIED: In Limestone County, Texas.
