   https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:Anselm_Bates_%281%29

Hypothesis 2: Simeon was born in 1737-1738 in Hingham, Plymoth, Massachusetts. Hypothesis 3: Simeon served in the Revolutionary War. Hypothesis 4: Lived in Mashpee, Barnstable, Massachusetts. Findings 1. The father of Ansel appears to be Benjamin Bates, not Simeon. Findings 2. Not born in 1737 but 1750 OR 25 Jul 1764. Not Hingham, but Scituate. Findings 3. He said he served in the Revolutionary War. At least one claim was rejected. At least one record shows he DID serve (a hospital record). Findings 4. Seems to have lived in Scituate his whole life.
