Research and source notes from Deborah Sweet:
1) Robert C. Gates, "George Gates of East Haddam and Some of His Descendants,", (2002), op cit; p.24-25
"James3 Gates (Samuel2, George1), born August 29, 1721 in East Haddam, CT., baptized September 3, 1721, married, November 6, 1743, Deborah Olmsted. In 1760 he was called "Captain Gates." On February 5, 1762 he was chosen deacon of the First Church of East Haddam, and he was elected town clerk in 1766, 1767, and 1768. About 1771 or 1772, he moved to Richmond, Berkshire Co., MA. where he was again chosen deacon, February 21, 1785, and he held that office for twenty years until his death. He was also a Justice of the Peace and represented the town of Richmond in the Massachusetts legislature. Part of his biography, which appears in "History of Berkshire County" [1829, Chester Dewey], reads as follows: "As a Justice of the Peace, as a representative of the State Legislature, to which he was often appointed, and in various capacities in which he acted as a friend and father of the town, he was greatly honored with the esteem and confidence of the people." He died in Richmond, January 4, 1805, aged 84 and was buried at the Cone Cemetery. His grave is listed in "Abstracts of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots" by Patricia Law Hatcher."
