    "James Bate is sometime[s] referred to in secondary sources as 'Elder James Bate,' implying that he held that church office. No evidence for this can be found. The misunderstanding apparently arises from a misinterpretation of his will, in which he is referred to as 'James Bate Elder,' while in the codicil he is called 'James Bate the elder'; both of these instances most likely are meant only to distinguish him from his son of the same name."
