4)  NOTES  (with source citations as indicated in brackets):


Mary Hubbard was born 4 May 1712 in Concord, Massachusetts, the second child and first daughter of Samuel and Sarah (Clark) Hubbard of Concord[1].  

On 7 November 1732, she married Amos Gates of Stow in Concord[3-4].  They had five children between 1733 and 1746, all probably born in Stow.

Samuel Hubbard's will was written on 2 September 1747 and he bequeathed 30 pounds to his daughter, Mary Gates.  The will was proved on 28 January 1754[2].  It is unknown if Mary was still alive at that time, or if the legacy was distributed to her or her children.  

There is no known death date for Mary (Hubbard) Gates.  She must have died after 2 September 1747 and before 10 December 1754, when Amos Gates married his second wife, Deborah (Thayer) Rockwood in Mendon, Massachusetts.    

There is no known burial location for Mary (Hubbard) Gates.
