The treasure today is the 1667 birth record of Simon Gates in the Cambridge, Massachusetts vital town record book:
The birth record for Simon Gates is near the middle of the page:
This record says:
""Simon, s. of Steeven and Sarah, June 5, 1666-7."
The source citation for this record is:
Thomas W. Baldwin (compiler), Vital Records of Cambridge, Massachusetts to the Year 1850 (Boston, Mass. : New England Historic Genealogical Society, 1915), Births, page 284, Simon Gates entry, 1667.
I don't know why this entry is double-dated. If the June moth is correct, it probably should be 1667.
This record is a Derivative Source with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the name of Simon Gates, his parents names, and the birth date and place. The Original Source is a town record book birth register that is no longer available. They are still Primary Information and Direct Evidence for the names and birth event.
Simon Gates (1667-1752) was the second child and second son of Stephen and Sarah (Woodward) Gates of Cambridge and Stow, Massachusetts. He married Hannah Benjamin (1669-after 1752) on 4 May 1688 in Stow, Massachusetts, the daughter of Joseph and Sarah (Clarke) Benjamin of Yarmouth, Massachusetts.
Simon and Hannah (Benjamin) Gates are my 7th great-grandparents, through their son Amos Gates (1706-1783) who married Mary Hubbard (1712-1754) in Concord on 7 May 1732.
