    "3. Thomas2 Gates (George1), born January 21, 1663/4 in Haddam, CT, … He was one of the first deacons of the First Church (of East Haddam), having been chosen with his brother-in-law, Daniel Cone, husband of his sister Mary, when the church was formed in 1704. … from (16 June 1707) until March 6, 1734, he kept all of the records of the proprietors and the town except for a very few pages. In the list of captains, as given by Dr. Field, the name of Thomas Gates is the third in order. He was Justice of the Peace from 1711 until his death. … He died in East Haddam, April 20, 1734, in his 70th year. His estate was divided by an agreement dated September 7, 1734, among his widow Hannah, his surviving children, Thomas, Jeremiah, Daniel, Joshua, and Mary and Mary's husband, Bezaleel Brainerd. The abstract of the agreement does not mention son George Gates but that may be in error. … interred in the Cove Burial Ground."
