Susanna Bates dtr. of John Bates 1598-1666 and Mary? Winston. (other sources say Elizabeth)

From «i»The Bates Booster,«/i» Sep 1975:
Printed sources give [George's] birth date at 1625 which is probably much too early.
3 children were underage when his will was made, and one born later.
Will 6 January 1676; will proved April court 1677, York, Co., Va; wife Mary, who married second Edmund Brewer. She died prior to June Court 1720.

From book Fuqua-«i»Fight for Freedom«/i» Pg 105: (two sources for this book: Marjorie Ingrebretsen of Kelseyville, Ca., 1985 & Mary Lou Highfill McCloud, Ok., 1983)
His will was probated April 1677, naming wife Mary, and children, John, James, Mary and George who was born posthumously. Mary, wife of George Bates married second Edmund Brewer.

GEDCOM Note
This from a query I posted on «i»Bates Family of Old Virginia«/i»-bfoov.org
From «i»The Investigation of a Quaker Merchant «b»-«/b»Colonial Williamsburg Report:«/i»
Residence of 3rd generation John Bates. It gives George Bates' (son of the immigrant)2nd wife as Hannah Tindall. John Bates' wife is not given.
From the site: «i»glynnpatrick.com:«/i»
John Isaac's son George was born & lived out his lifev in York Co. as would the several next generations of Bates men. George marr. Mary Smith Brewer in 1643 & they had James, John II, Hannah, Mary & George Jr.
Before his death George Bates became a Quaker, adopting the religious teachings of George Fox, including the necessity of living a life of prayer & showing pious faith is acts of brotherhood. By all accounts, George lived a prosperous life & died on April 24, 1677 in *Skimeno. Wife Mary lived to a good old age, dying in 1720.
- The site spells this several different ways-it is usually seen as: Skimeno.
