"Mr. Albert C. Bates, Librarian of the Connecticut Historical Society, Hartford, Conn., writes that there is no reason known to him for thinking that Anne (Withington) Bates ever lived at Huntington, Long Island, where, according to this article, she died in 1700. Mr. Bates states that she died before 16 Feb. 1691/2, when the children of 'James and hanah bate late of haddam deseased' signed an agreement dividing, apparently, 'the whole estat of the said James and Anna bate.' (Haddam Land Records, vol. 1, p. 22.) The wording of this agreement, continues Mr. Bates, indicates that Anne survived her husband and had come into possession of his property."
