I am interested in finding info on Mary BATES the wife of Homer SLAUSON. Calculating backwards from her grandson's birth, I would hazard to guess that she was born abt. 1730. Her daughter Sarah Slauson was married to Solomon BROWN of Poundridge New York heritage. Please let me know if anyone is interested in this line. My second Bates is also, Mary BATES but who married in 1662 ABRAHAM AMBLER, I. Her parents were Robert and Susannah Smith Bates of Stamford CT. Robert Bates Candee
