You can go back one more generation from these probate documents from Prince George's County, Maryland, to Samuel Perry Wailes. You have to have an ID and be logged into Familysearch to view the documents.

Here's Ida's marriage to Lafayette Bates. I can't explain why Ida's mother's name is recorded as it is.

I found a whole bunch of entries on findagrave for cemetery stones for members of the family. Let me know if you don't have those and I'll post them.
The familysearch URL's aren't clickable so you'll have to copy them into your browser window.
