There are not very extensive rec
ords Of the Bates family in Amer
lea, although they were rather
widely settled throughout New
England and New York State at an
early date.
One of the first settlers of the
name in this country was James
Bates, who was born at Lydd, coun-
ty Kent. England. on December 2,
1882. In 1885 he removed to Dor
chester. Massachusetts, where ho
soon became an elder in the church.
His wife was named Alice and he
had q son. James. who had many
prominent descendants. This fam
lily intermarried with the descend
ants of Peregrine White and other
substantial old New England fam
flies. .--.r
An early settler of Durham, Con-
necticut. was Stephen Bates. who
married there. on December %. 1715.
Patience, the daughter of Joseph
Seward. the first physician of that
town. Stephen came from a fam
lily that had it's American origin
near Boston and he established a
big and fourishing branch of New
York and Connecticut.
The coat-of-arms illustrated is
Identical to the coat of arms borne
by the Bates family of Lincolnshire,
England. and it is the one used by
the American family of this name.
1t Is described thus: Argent on a
Jesse, between three cinquefoils,
gules. a heur-de-lis. ermine.
The cinquefoils in heraldry are
very interesting. They are flowers
and their variety is indicated by
the color. The gules, or red. Gin
quefoils are roses. The white, or
