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.
