• Notes

  He came to New England with his parents in 1638. "[Stephen Gates] led a very migratory life. In Boston, where he was living February 17, 1667, he was an assistant to Edward Drinker, a potter and Baptist preacher. In 1673 he was of Cambridge, when Drinker deeded to him three hundred acres in the wilderness between Lancaster and Concord on both sides of Elizabeth brook. He was of Stow in 1684 when he took an Indian title to the Elizabeth brook property, and there he and his son Stephen were taxed in 1688." [Walter Goodwin Davis, citation details below]
