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: 

"To the Honble the House of Representatives assembled and Convend at Exeter: State of New-
hampshire &c: 
   "The memorial of abagil Bates widow of the Late Nathanel Bates of Dublin Decd Humbly Sheweth
that ye memorialist was Left a widow with two small children and only a New Lot of Land 
containing forty one acres only and but five acres Improved Labour and Provisions being scarce 
and Dear Renders it Impossible to manetane hir self and children without selling said Land--
These are therefore humbly to Solicit your Honrs to take it into your wise Consideration and 
give orders that the same might be sold &c, &c.
" Octr 28-1778                    ABAGILL BATES. 
" N. B. Said Nathaniel Bates was killed at Stillwater Last year by Generall Birgines army."

   Nathaniel Bates lived on the north side of the Derby Hill. The later history of his family is
unknown. John Stroud appears to have been the next occupant of Nathaniel Bates's little farm and
to have come to Dublin about 1778. 


ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS, OCTOBER, 1904.
Abigail Bates was appointed guardian of her two sons, Edward and Nathaniel, and appears to have
married John Stroud previous to 1790.
