Joshua Bates' house was built in 1695, and was still standing in
        1919 on South Main Street, Cohasset, (formerly Hingham)
        Massachusetts.
        He was a member of the first school board committee in 1728,
        and was one of three people to plan for a new meeting house in
        1746. "In 1749, he was taxed for one half dwelling house, one
        half acre orchard, one half acre tillage, six pasture, four
        slaves, and two cows." (_Bates Bulletin_, Oct, 1919.)
        Joshua and Rachel Tower had 7 children:
        Rachel b 14 Jul 1696 d 20 Nov 1780
        Joshua b 15 Jun 1698
        Bathsheba b 9 Feb 1699/70
        Elizabeth b 13 Nov 1703

        Isaac b 3 Mar 1708
        Jacob b 20 Aug 1710

        Harding gives Elizabeth's birth date as 23 Nov 1703, and
        Isaac's birth date as 3 Mar 1707-8, but otherwise agrees with
        the _Bates Bulletin_. He cites the _History of Hingham, Volume
        II_ as the source of this info.

        Newton Bates claims that Joshua was born in 1671 and that he
        married Rachel Tower on 15 Jan 1695-6. He confirms the
        children's names and birth years above, giving Bathsheba's
        birth year as 1670 and Isaac's as 1708.

Individual Note:
     Conflict: Earlier Tower genealogical research differs from the Great Mig ration research. Earlier genealogy research gives Margaret the surna me of Clark. The Great Migration Newsletter Biographical Sketches (V ol 13 6/20/2004) for Richard Ibrook does not identify the surname of Richa rd Ibrook's wife Margaret.

     From: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~pmcbride/rfc/gw7.htm

Joseph was probably born in Biddenden, County Kent, England, a
        village near Lydd. He came to New England with his parents in
        1635 on the Elizabeth at the age of 7.
        He married Esther Hilliard in Hingham, Mass. They had at least
        6 children, 5 from the _Bates - Breed Ancestry_, and one
        (Joshua) found in _The Bates Bulletin_, October, 1919. These
        children are :
        Joseph b 28 Sep 1660 d 3 Nov 1714
        Caleb b 30 Mar 1666 d 18 Jun 1716(1) or 25 Aug 1747(3)
        Joshua b 14 Aug 1671 d 23 Sep 1757
        Bathsheba b 26 Jan 1673/4

        Source : _The Bates Bulletin_, October, 1919, pp. 42-43.
        Harding lists 9 children of Joseph Bates and Esther Hillard,
        matching Bates' list and adding the following :
        Esther b 29 Aug 1663
        Hannah b 31 Oct 1668
        Abigail b 16 Oct 1680
        Unfortunately, Harding says that Joseph's will refers to 4 sons
        and 4 daughters, which gives us one daughter too many.
        He was a "Bricglayer", Constable from 1675 to 1678, Selectman
        "1671_1677_ 1684_1692." He was appointed Sexton of the Parish
        in 1673 and served in this capacity until a new meeting-house
        was erected. He lived in his father's home in Hingham. All of
        his children were born in Hingham, as well.

        Newton Bates claims that Joseph was born in 1630 in England. He
        married Esther Hilliard on 9 Jan 1657-8 in Hingham, MA. He
        confirms the names and birth years of the children listed above
        (both sets), giving Bathsheba's birth year as 1674. He was a
        bricklayer, constable, selectman 4 times, and sexton of the
        parish. He died 30 Apr 1706.

LATEST MARINE NEWS

Tern schooner Audrey P. Brown, Capt. Ralph Brown from Burgeo, Nfld., is
    on
passage to Perambuso, with a cargo of dry fish. Her return cargo will
    be
Turk's Island salt to Riverport for Ritcey Bros.

The 217 ton tern schooner Audrey P. Brown was built by J.S. Steadman
    Gardner
in Liverpool, NS in 1919. On August 23, 1928, under the command of
    Captain
Ralph Brown, she left Shelburne, NS for the Barbados and was not heard
    of
again.

WRECKAGE FROM SCHOONER FOUND

Evidence indicating that the LaHave schooner Audrey P. Brown and her
    crew of
six men, reported missing five weeks ago while on passage from
    Shelburne to
Barbados, was a victim of Southern hurricanes is contained in reports
    made
recently at New York by the French cable steamer Pouyer Quirtier-Dulac.
    The
French cable steamer, according to a recent issue of the New York
    Maritime
Register, reports leaving on October 17, about six miles south of
    Gouzier,
Gaudeloupe [sic] lighthouse, picked up a life buoy marked "A.P.Brown",
LaHave, N.S.; also sighting numerous planks new in appearance floating
    in
that vicinity. The craft, a three-masted schooner in command of Captain
Ralph Brown, of Petite Riviere, carried a crew of five in addition to
    the
skipper, including the following: George Tancock, mate, of Dartmouth;
Stephen Fogg, cook, of Petite Riviere; Henry J. Wort, seaman, who
    joined the
vessel at Halifax; William Bowen, seaman, who joined the vessel at
    Halifax;
and an unidentified seaman who is believed to have signed on at
    Shelburne.
Early in August the schooner, with half a cargo of lumber, sailed from
Halifax for Shelburne. At the South Shore port she completed loading
    her
cargo, and on August 22 sailed for Barbados. Since then, or until the
    French
cable steamer reported having picked up her life buoy, no word has been
heard of the vessel. It is believed that the vessel fell a victim to
    the
hurricane which swept the waters of the southern Atlantic at the time
    of her
passage.
