2. | Elisha GATES was born about 1704 in Stow, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts (son of Simon GATES and Hannah BENJAMIN); died before 20 Aug 1762 in Stow, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts. Notes:
Excerpt from "The New England Hitorical and Genealogical Register": He was in the military service as sentinel from 23 July to 31 July 1748 under Capt. Jonathan Whitney. The company was "sent into thee Woods" by Col. Samuel Willard. The soldiers were probably seeking Indians (Mass. Aarchives: Muster Rolls, vol. 92, p. 125). An agreement of his heirs was signed 20 Aug. 1762. The heirs included his widow. She sold land to her son Elisha 23 Feb. 1779. She was probably living in Stow in 1790 when the U.S. Census was taken.
Elisha married Mary GATES about 1735. Mary (daughter of John GATES and Mary BOWKER) was born on 13 Mar 1717 in Stow, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
