I'm trying to figure out the wife of Theophilus BATES's .. or did he have two wives? Theophilus BATES b 04 May 1765 in MA. His children were Lewis BATES (no details) and Dexter BATES b 06 March 1806 in Vermont. Dexter is my line. The first wife: Sarah TOWER Marriage: 12 Aug 1787 Hingham', Of, Plymouth, 'Massachusetts the second: Esther CHANDLER Marriage: 30 Mar 1804 Chester, Wndsr, Vermont Anybody have any details; were these both wives of Theophilus? There are at least one other Theophilus around at the same time in the same area; one was a nephew b 1810. This info is from IGI files. thanks; Kozmo files. thanks; Kozmo
