Records of Stow lost. Married Isaac Gates after 20 Dec 1708 when swore to accounting of previous husband's estate, and before 20 Jun 1713 when she signed a deed with husband Isaac Gates (Middlesex Deed Vol. 20, p. 178).
↑ Based on age at death, Miriam/Meriam was born in 1711, maybe even 1710. Her name appears to be based on her mother's maiden name and she is named in her sister Mercy's will which only appears to include full siblings, no half siblings (i.e., not Phineas).
