John Gates was born on 26 July 1713 at Charlestown, MA.^3,4 He was the son of Jonathan Gates and Persis Shepard. John Gates married Violata Rice, daughter of Jotham Rice and Mary Earl; both of Worcester.^1,2 John Gates died on 21 November 1797 at Worcester, MA; aged 87y.^4,5 He was buried at Mechanic Street Cemetery, Worcester, MA.⁵
John Gates and Violata Rice resided at Worcester, MA.⁴ WARD notes that William was brother of John, who married Viola Rice (WFN 291), but they show up with different parents. This needs to be investigated. (Ward, p. 131) There is no record of a John Gates born son of Benjamin and Bethulia Gates in the Worcester VR so it is believed that we can discount them as parents of John.⁶

This would make Abraham a first cousin of Josiah Gale who married Abigail Rice's sister Elizabeth. On the other hand, there was also an Abraham Gale born in Watertown to Samuel and Rebecca who is another possible candidate. Ward Sup. 1 assigned a birth date of 29 July 1745 which would make Abraham the brother of Josiah Gale, Jr., who married Abigail Rice's older sister Elizabeth, and son of Josiah and Elizabeth Gale of Sutton. If you are a descendant of Abraham Gale and Abigail Rice, your authors urge you to consult an authoritative family history of the Gail family.^3,2 He was the son of Abraham Gale and Esther Cunningham. Abraham Gale married Abigail Rice, daughter of Absalom Rice and Elizabeth Flagg, on 28 November 1769 at Worcester, MA; Abigail of Worcester, Mass, Abraham of Shrewsbury, Mass.^1,2,4
Abraham Gale and Abigail Rice resided circa 1775 at Princeton, MA, as the births of their younger children are recorded there.^3,5

Persis Rice^1,2

Persis Rice was born on 3 April 1740 at Worcester, MA.^1,2,3 She was the daughter of Adonijah Rice and Persis Gates. Persis Rice married Hezekiah Stowell on 24 November 1758 at Worcester, MA; transcribed as Hezekiah Howell and Hepzibah Rice in the vital records.^1,2,3
Meanwhile, the Petersham vital records show the birth of a daughter Persis to a Hezekiah and Persis Stowell in 1766, but no other entries for any of those three.⁴ The Supplement ascribes a death in 1777 to this Persis Rice, but the identification is surely wrong. The Athol vital records do indeed show the death of a Persis Rice on that date, but the Persis in question was the daughter of Adonijah and Tamar Rice and was baptized at Brookfield in 1768. Thus, she may indeed have been a second daughter Persis of the same Adonijah and a second wife, or she may have been the daughter of Adonijah (WRN 507), who Ward says died young (q.v.). In either case, the supposed marriage of this Persis (WRN 830) to Hezekiah Stowell is in doubt, as the vital records actually show the bride in question to be Hepzibah Rice, not Persis. Further research is needed to establish the identities.^5,2
