Nathan Gates (1767-1830) was the son of Simon and Susanna (Reed) Gates of Gardner. He married Abigail Knowlton (1774-1855) on 17 June 1790 in Westminster, Mass. They had 15 children between 1791 and 1813, but three died before 1810. I am descended from their daughter, Abigail Gates (1797-1867), who married Benjamin Seaver (1791-1825).
Nathan and Abigail (Knowlton) Gates are my 4th great-grandparents.
