"61 He "GATES George Gates, the immigrant ancestor, was born in England about 1634, and came to this country when about seventeen years old with Captain Nicholas Olmstead. He was of Hartford, Connecticut, and in the following year was one of the founders and original proprietors of Haddam, Connecticut. He was one of the twenty-eight settlers there in 1662. He was captain of the first military company of Haddam and served until October, 1697. He died in 1724, aged about ninety years. About 1685 the Gates family removed to East Haddam as well as many of the Cones, Bates and Brainerds. The vital records of East Haddam are not available and the lineage from George to Nathaniel has not been definitely traced."69
Children of George1 Gates and Sarah Olmstead were:
223. Joseph2 Gates (George1); born 7 Nov 1662 at Haddam, Middlesex Co., CT; married Elizabeth Hungerford, daughter of Thomas Hungerford and Mary Green, circa 1694 at East Haddam CT; died 18 Mar 1711 at East Haddam, Middlesex Co., CT, at age 48.
Children of Joseph2 Gates and Elizabeth Hungerford were:
224. Patience3 Gates (Joseph2, George1); baptized 23 Mar 1712 at East haddam, Middlesex, Ct;114 married Nathaniel Foote Jr., son of Nathaniel Foote and Ann Clarke, before 1737; died 22 Feb 1799 at age 86.146
She Patience Oates in family records, but Nathaniel Foote married a Patience Gates (b. 1712) and had a daughter Patience (Foote). She Foote Genealogy gives Patience, d. of Samuel Gates of Colchester, but GDNES shows no child Patience of Samule Gates, but child Patience of Samuel's borther Joseph Gates. Birth date for Joseph's Patience also matches age at death for Patience in Foote Geneaology. Seems clear that Samuel in the Foote genealogy is erroneous and it should be Joseph.
