| Notes for Stephen GATES Sr |
In 1638 they sailed in the Diligent of Ipswich, John Martin,master.
He married ANN VEARE in Hingham, Norfolk, England, 05 MAY 1628. ANN was born in England 1603.(917) ANN(918) was the daughter of HORATIO VERE BARON and MARY TRACY. ANN died 5 FEB 1682/3 in Stow, Middlesex, Massachusetts, at 79 years of age. The information given by Charles Otis Gates in his 1898 publication "Stephen Gates of Hingham and Lancaster, Massachusetts and his Descendants" regarding the parentage of Stephen Gates the immigrant is apparent erroneous. He calimed that Stephen's father was a Thomas GATES and that his paternal Grandparents were Peter GATES of London and Mary Josselyn. According to the Harlein Society publication "The Visitation of Suffolk, 1561, 1577 and 1612", London 1981, this Peter Gates was age 29 in 1612, thus could not have been a grandfather of our Stephen Gates (who we know was born about 1599). Also, Peter Gates and Mary Josselyn apparently had one son, Jocelyn, bapt. Feb 1606/07 at St. Mary Woolchurch Haugh, London and perhaps two daughters. Also, the NEHGS Vol. 137, Apr 1983, pg 146 has an article about further errors made by C.O. Gates regarding the ancestry of Stephen Gates.
