NATHANIEL BATES, who was a tax payer in 1771 and bought his farm in 1774 from Bartholomew Goyer, was returned by Dublin, April, 1777, as in Capt. Jason Wait's company. He was then 39 years old. He was a member of the 3d company, Col. Joseph Cilley's regiment. He was killed at the first battle of Stillwater, Sept. 19, 1777. His widow sent the following petition:

" Octr 28-1778 ABAGILL BATES. " N. B. Said Nathaniel Bates was killed at Stillwater Last year by Generall Birgines army."
