Simon³ Gates (Stephen², Stephen¹), m. "Stow or Marlborough" 4 May 1688 Hannah Benjamin, d/o Joseph² Benjamin.
[Note: the phrase "in Stow or Marlborough" seems at odds with a precise date, and this marriage is not found in Stow VRs, Marlborough VRs, or other apparent places. Torrey's Marriages cites a court record ("Middlesex County Court unless otherwise indicated"), 1:615, in giving this date, as well as several secondary sources (most notably Source:Gates, Charles Otis. Stephen Gates of Hingham and Lancaster, Massachusetts, and His Descendants, p. 12) that give the same date without providing any justification.]
