Bates Descendants Who Have Had Little Or No Knowledge of Their Forebears ANCESTRAL LINEAGE Mildred Olive Sates McCann Prince Adair George County County Iowa Virginia WITH INDEX FOREWORD The initial u.ndertaking was precisely as indicated by title of this brochure; but, in developing that project, we encountered a medley of collateral•information, the discarding of which would be u.nholy, We decided to merge a mass of information into a pot pouri, which has overtaxed our abilities to assemble into an order­ ly genealogical exposition. The product which we apologetically submit is a mixed mass of genealogy, biography, and documentation, which defies orderly presentation, Nevertheless, we hope that our efforts.will be re­ vealing to the many Bates descendants who have had little or no knowledge of their forebears. Perhaps our endeavor would be more appropriately titled SOME DESCENDANTS OF CLEMENT BATES, COLONIST OF COHASSET, MASSACHUSETTS. His blood runs to a progeny of more than six hundred, recorded in these pages, and scattered from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from Canada to Texas. To Pauline Shaffer Bates of Cody, Wyoming, to Marian Booth Coolidge of Houston, Texas, and her sister Margaret Booth Heroy of Dallas, Texas, to Annabel Smith Horner of Tulsa, Oklahoma, to Alberta T. Main of Washington, D.

(McCANN) Bate is an early English surname of record as early as the 12th centuryo Thusly spelled, with occasional variations as Batte,and Bat., the name multiplied in English records until the exodus in 1630-40 of many Puritans to sundry localities in Massachusetts Bay Colony, where the spelling of Bate gradually was replaced by Bates, which was quite common in Revolutionary dayso A spelling of Batts is prevalent in southern states, and Batte is common in Virginiav As to the origin of the name, our reading reveals much theory and little fact; the shortest definition, and a quite appropriate one has been expressed by the Reverend Newton Wo Bates, West Bloomfield, No Y., September 1, 1904, "some authorities derive the name from the Anglo­ 1 1 11 Saxon word 'batet meani.ng contention o Of our English forebears, much literature has bee.n produced by numerous investigators') We read this literature, however, with a degree of skepticism that does not admit our complete acceptanceo The Reverend Newton Whitmarsh Bates, for many years Secretary-treasurer and the backbone of The Bates Association, is one of our authorities for the following ancestors: A. "James Bate of Lydd, England, yeoman, married Mary Martine June 6, 1580. He died March 2, 16140 He had childre.n, Robert, James, Anna, Anna, John, Thomas, Edward, Clement(!}, Joseph, Mary, Isaac, Rachel, and Martha. His son James settled at Dorchester, Masso His son Clement settled at Hingham, Masso I and probably others settled in .neighboring townso" Persistent tradition, with many mysterious ramifications, saith fallaciously that Elder Edward Bates of Weymouth (1605-1686) was a brother to James of Dorchester and Clement of Hingham, who had a brother named Edward, born Oct. 8, 1592 and buried Octo 3, 1616 in England. Refs. 4 and So B. "John Bate of Lydd, Jurat (Alderman), married Mildred Ward Octo 28, 1546, who was buried June 2, 1577. He married Mary Bennett June 16, 15800 He had children, Mary, James, Thomas, and Andre"".• '' - 1 - "Andrew Bate of Lydd, died in 1533. He had children., Joan, Simon, William, John, Katherine, and Thomaso 11 "John Bate of Lydd., died in l 522, leaving two sons, Thomas and Andrewo He was Jurat of Lydd, and in his will left .about 20 pounds to the Lydd church. 11 "Thomas Bate of Lydd, died in 1485, leaving two sons, John and Williamo II "Henry Bate of Lydd, wife's name Agnes, will dated May 20, 1478, had children James, Simon, Andrew1 and Thomaso" "John Bate of Lydd., named in t}1e wills of his brother William and his son Henry., both wills dated 14780 11 Thus, "the ancestors of Clement Bates of Hingham, Masso can be traced back to John Bate of Lydd., Parish of All Hallows., County of Kent, England, who died in 15220 11 In passing from ancestors in England to those in America, we pause to state the purpose of this pamphlet; fundamentally we propose to bridge a hereto£ ore existing gap between the fifth generation and the eighth. Our research has been principally a study of inter-family letters written by those of the ninth generation, to find clues that we have pursued in obtaining records and literature supporting the facts that are embodied in this script. For oi:n:­ efforts, it is· our fond hope to reach numerous cousins and descendants who will extend our research to embrace today's children of an eleventh and a twelfth generationo We have read various and sundry items pertaining to Bates genealogy; and we mention a few of many references that we have consulted, giving credit thereto for most of the source material that we are using in compiling the first five generations hereino Refo 1.

Shakers and Jerkers: Letters from the “Long Walk,” 1805, Part 1 By Douglas L. Winiarski*a Reports of a bizarre new religious phenomenon made their way over the mountains from Tennessee during the summer and fall of 1804. For several years, readers in the eastern states had been eagerly consuming news of the Great Revival, the powerful succession of Presbyterian sacramental festivals and Methodist camp meetings that played a formative role in the development of the southern Bible Belt and the emergence of early American evangelicalism. Letters from the frontier frequently included vivid descriptions of the so-called “falling exercise,” in which the bodies of revival converts crumpled to the ground during powerful sermon performances on the terrors of hell. But an article that appeared in the Virginia Argus on October 24, 1804, announced the sudden emergence of a deeply troubling new form of convulsive somatic distress.

They were viewed as heretics, but saw themselves as orthodox; they were persecuted but saw themselves as triumphant. They built separate communities, but expected the world’s people to unite with them.

Kjos Music Company • Publisher 2 The Arranger Mark Hellem is an accomplished composer, arranger and violinist. He has played with a variety of musical groups, and his compositions, which range in scope from chamber and orchestra works to songs and operas, have been performed around the country and internationally. Mr. Hellem received his formal training in composition at the University of Minnesota where he studied with Dominick Argento, and at The Juilliard School in New York, where he worked with the late Vincent Persichetti. Currently, he resides in St. Paul, MN, where he performs regularly with the Mississippi Valley Orchestra and Terzetto, a string trio, in addition to composing and arranging music. The Arrangement Rights of Conscience was written by Issachar Bates after the American Revolutionary War. Bates was a Shaker and served as a fifer in the Battle of Bunker Hill. During wars of this period, fifes and drums were used to communicate orders to the troops in the field. In the midst of the loud war raging on the battlefield, the troops would recognize the musical signals and follow orders according to the tune or rhythm they heard. Issachar Bates wrote this hymn as a tribute to George Washington, using one of these fife tunes for the opening phrase of the song and then adding to it with his own original melody. The Shakers wrote their songs very simply; they were written for only a solo voice and did not use accompanying harmonies.

Medlicott: Conflict and Tribulation on the Frontier Conflict and Tribulation on the Frontier: The West Union Shakers and Their Retreat By Carol Medlicott Introduction The Shakers, formally known as the United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing, have an interesting historical geography in the United States. A few years after their 1774 arrival from England, they began to expand through proselytizing and missionary trips throughout the region close to their first settlement just outside Albany, New York. By the late 1790s, nearly all the settlements in the Northeast had been planted — eleven sites extending from near Albany eastward into Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Maine. The Shaker leaders in New York began a second phase of geographical expansion in 1805 when three missionaries set out for Kentucky, drawn by news of the intense religious revivals that were then underway there. By the 1820s, seven more Shaker villages were thriving, spread among the “western” states of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.1 No further expansion occurred, and for well over a century the Shakers continued to be a presence on the American landscape through two very separate and distinct geographical concentrations of eastern and western sites.

London: Pickering & Chatto, April 2013. 3 volume set. 1088 pp. 23.4 x 15.6 cm. Introduction During the summer of 2013, Americans were both captivated and scandalized by the revelations of Edward Snowden, a former CIA employee and intelligence insider, who abruptly left his post with a National Security Agency contractor and sought asylum overseas while at the same time handing over a mass of classified documents about US intelligence gathering practices. The American press continues to reel over Snowden’s revelations, which have generated considerable criticism of the Obama administration and its intelligence-gathering procedures. In particular, what appears to be a policy of broad-based telephone surveillance of American citizens and foreign allies alike has come under considerable scrutiny. Some have hailed Snowden as a hero and an American patriot, while others have criticized his motives and called into question his competency.

Originals, photocopies. 1976.78.1 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Issachar Bates was born on 29 January 1758 in the town of Hingham, near Boston, Massachusetts. After practicing as a fifer in the American Revolution, Bates served for a time as a Baptist preacher until being converted to the Shaker faith. Shakerism was a religious sect established around 1774 by Ann Lee (1736-1784). The Shakers lived in communal societies and were known for their pacifist and celibate practices as well as superior craftsmanship and astute business practices. Bates, along with John Meacham and Benjamin Youngs, was selected to travel to the southwestern portions of the United States in 1805 in order to take advantage of the religious revivalism that was taking place. From this point onward, Bates spent the majority of his life traveling to different areas of the west, converting people to Shakerism and giving his aid in starting Shaker communities in Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio.

  • Evangelical Christians" Or "Gospel Christians," and Were Originally Unrelated to the Baptist Movement Under Nikita Veronin, Which Dated from 1869
    Christians Only Christians Only A History of the Restoration Movement James DeForest Murch Standard Publishing Cincinnati, Ohio © MCMLXII The Standard Publishing Company Cincinnati, Ohio Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 61-18657 Printed in the United States of America Preface FOR fifty years there has been need for a comprehensive, but not too ponderous, history of the American movement to restore the New Testament church in doctrine, ordinances, and life. Many other competent histories have been written, but the more recent ones appear to be severely limited in scope and motivated by modern scientific and theological theories foreign to the genius of the Restoration movement.

I rejoice and thank God that He has permitted me to realize my purpose in this book.
