    Notes:

    Excerpt from "The New England Historical and Genealogical Register": From Massachusetts military records it appears that he served inplace of his son William, probable in 1748, from 8 Aug. to 26 Aug., under Major Daniel Heywood. The company marched on an alarm to the defence of the Western frontiers by order of Col. J. Chandler. William Gates, Benjamin's son, described as a servant of James Goodwin, had probably been bound out, in accordance with the cutom at that time. In 1757 he was in service as a soldier in Col. Frye's Regiment. After Benjamin's death his widow petitioned for an allowance on account of his sickness while serving as a soldier.

    Benjamin married Bethulia RICE on 05 Apr 1727 in Sudbury, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts. Bethulia (daughter of Jonathan RICE and Ann DARBY) was born on 24 Mar 1704 in Sudbury, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
