BATES
6 Jul 2010, Robert Webler, web325@crocker.com
John Martin BATES, a ward of Ebenezer BACKUS, was a Hessian soldier deserter "hired" by BACKUS in the fall of 1783, but took ill and died in the fall of 1785. I have seen records pertaining to this saga at the State Library. In those records, it is mentioned that BACKUS paid for the burial of BATES. I seek evidence of that burial in Windham or possibly Norwich. Thank you for your kind attention.
