Silas Gates m. 1791 Elizabeth Johnson, d/o William Johnson and Sarah Kendall, b. 19 Sep 1772 [citing Family Bible]. "The State record says she was born in Woburn."
[Note: the last reference is probably to the state record of her death, in Leverett, 6 Jan 1866, age 93 y. 4 m., which does list her birthplace as Woburn. It was probably mentioned because the Johnson article says the father moved to Acton in 1770, which would suggest otherwise.]
