The Virginia Bates THE BATES ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY 2012 WELCOME TO THE 2012 BATES ASSOCIATION DIRECTORY This Directory is a compilation of all past Directories and updates, put out since the first one in 1995, updated in 1997. Lauren Delaney, who was the Membership Chairperson at that time, did the first two. Sandy Bates did an update of the directory in 2000. She combined all previous and all new information into the 2000 Edition. Sandy Bates & Patti Schroeder did further updates to the Directory in 2004, 2005 and 2007. Sandy then began working to combine all of these into just one directory. This is the final edition of all the work compiled by Sandy. Terri Bates Black took all of Sandy’s information, and has put together this excellent CD for you to use. This was a great undertaking for her and we owe her a debt of gratitude.

Articles Camp Followers, Nurses, Soldiers, and Spies: Women and the Modern Memory of the Revolutionary War By Heather K. Garrett Abstract: When asked of their memory of the American Revolution, most would reference George Washington or Paul Revere, but probably not Molly Pitcher, Lydia Darragh, or Deborah Sampson. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to demonstrate not only the lack of inclusivity of women in the memory of the Revolutionary War, but also why the women that did achieve recognition surpassed the rest. Women contributed to the war effort in multiple ways, including serving as cooks, laundresses, nurses, spies, and even as soldiers on the battlefields. Unfortunately, due to the large number of female participants, it would be impossible to include the narratives of all of the women involved in the war.

On that ship were 100 passengers, including Anne Hutchinson who would play a part in his life. Most on the Griffin were likely followers of Reverend John Cotton who had already made his way to Boston. On the Cyrus Bates & passenger list was the Reverend Jonathan Lothrop who had conducted Lydia Harrington separatist services in Edgerton, Kent and London, and the Rev.

  • Spies, Saboteurs, Couriers, and Other Heroines Jennifer Batchler and Heather Price
    “It Was I Who Did It”: Spies, Saboteurs, Couriers, and Other Heroines Jennifer Batchler and Heather Price Although women and girls supported the war effort in traditional ways, some seized opportunities to serve in ways generally performed by men. The special circumstances of war allowed women to step out of traditional roles and act in ways that were heroic and unexpected for their time. 1. Positions in Occupied Cities, Military Camps, Homes and Offices During the Revolutionary War women worked around common soldiers and commanders alike. They were cooks, laundresses, peddlers, maids and hostesses. With such easy access and the prevailing attitude that women’s minds’ weren’t capable of understanding military concepts, women could gather a great deal of important information. They were able to eavesdrop on conversations regarding troop movements, strategies and strengths as well as gather information on army size, supplies, fortifications and ammunition counts. Washington called these women “Agents in Place” (“Clandestine Women”). One of the most well-known of these women was Anna Smith Strong. She was a member of the Culper Spy Ring which relied on local patriots to gather information for General Washington about the British occupation. Anna devised a system of hanging clothes on her wash line in a code that identified the locations of key British commanders and troop movements. In particular, a black petticoat signaled that operative Caleb Brewster was in town and the number and order of handkerchiefs identified the specific cove in which his boat was moored (Allen 56). Another famous member of the Culper Spy Ring has never been identified.

  • Women in the Revolution By: Jessica Gregory When Thinking of the Heroes of the American Revolution, Great Men Such As George
    Women in the Revolution By: Jessica Gregory When thinking of the heroes of the American Revolution, great men such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, Henry Knox, and Thomas Jefferson come to mind. While their contributions are many and significant, the contributions of a less assuming force cannot be overlooked. Women also played important roles during the American Revolution providing services as camp followers, soldiers, and spies. Perhaps the most common role of women at the time was that of a camp follower. Camp followers were those who traveled with the army providing help with nursing soldiers, doing laundry, cooking meals, mending clothing, tending to children, and cleaning the camp. Even the likes of Martha Washington took up work as a camp follower. An observer of Martha said, “I never in my life knew a woman so busy from early morning until late at night as was Lady Washington, providing comforts for the sick soldiers.” Camp followers were paid a small wage and received a half ration of food. The role was fitting for women of the 18th century because these were the roles they would have played during times of war or peace. However, even with the monotony of the work of a camp follower it is sure that women took pride in this work as they were able to support the cause of the Patriots by supporting the Patriots themselves. Another role some women found themselves in during the American Revolution was that of a soldier. This was not a role women were asked to fill, but a role some forced themselves in to.

  • PHILADELPHIA WOMEN and the PUBLIC SPHERE, 1760S-1840S
    “THE YOUNG WOMEN HERE ENJOY A LIBERTY”: PHILADELPHIA WOMEN AND THE PUBLIC SPHERE, 1760s-1840s By KATHARINE DIANE LEE A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History Written under the direction of Nancy Hewitt and Paul G. E. Clemens And approved by _______________________________________ _______________________________________ _______________________________________ _______________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “The Young women here enjoy a liberty”: Philadelphia Women and the Public Sphere, 1760s-1840s by KATHARINE DIANE LEE Dissertation Director: Nancy Hewitt This dissertation examines women’s access to and participation in the community life of Philadelphia in the decades surrounding the American Revolution. It argues against the application of separate spheres to late-colonial and early national Philadelphia and proposes that women were heavily integrated into nearly all aspects of the city’s public life. Women from diverse backgrounds were actively involved in commerce, politics, protest, intellectual and legal debates, social institutions, wartime developments, educational advancements, and benevolent causes. They saw themselves and were viewed by their peers as valuable members of a vibrant and complex city life. If we put aside assumptions about women’s limited relationship to the public sphere, we find a society in which women took advantage of a multitude of opportunities for participation and self-expression. This project also examines the disparity between the image of the ideal housewife and the lived experience of the majority of female Philadelphians. Idealized descriptions of Revolutionary women present a far more sheltered range of options than those taken advantage of by most actual women.

  • Ann Bates Revolutionary War
    Ann bates revolutionary war Continue Learn more about some of the spies who helped the Patriot cause during the American Revolution. During the Battle of Long Island, Nathan Hale, captain of the Continental Army, volunteered to go behind enemy lines in disguise to report on the movements of British troops. Hale was captured by the British Army and executed as a spy on September 22, 1776. Hale remains part of the popular knowledge associated with the American Revolution for his supposed last words: I only regret that I have only one life to give for my country. Benjamin Tallmadge In November 1778, George Washington accused Major Benjamin Tallmadge of creating a spy ring in New York, the site of the British headquarters. Tallmadge led the creation of The Culper Spy Ring, recruiting friends to work as their informants. Talmaj served as the chief handler of Culper's spy ring until the end of the war. Read more: Culper Spy Ring Austin Roe Tavern owner, Austin Rowe has been closely associated with other members of the Culper Ring, even growing up near the home of fellow spy Caleb Brewster. Rowe served as a courier for the group, transporting supplies from Robert Townsend's New York coffee shop on a journey back to Setauket, Long Island, traveling more than fifty miles. Rowe's position as a courier was fraught with danger, travelling long distances with the possibility of being caught with incriminating evidence of his activities. Abraham Woodhall Farmer and son of local Patriot judge Abraham Woodhall joined the Culper Ring in November 1778.
