About James Bates
Sailed to Virginia in 1635 but returned to England. Eventually returned at settled in Haddam, CT as one of the original proprietors.
First person to use name "Bates" with an "s"
Occupation: Schoolmaster
1678 Selectman
Event: Arrived New England 1635 on Ship Elizabeth
Event: Deathdate verif Hobart Journal notes age at time of death was 69 years.
Burial: 1689 Hingham, Massachusetts
Note: Conflict note: 19th and 20th Century genealogical researchers differ in as signing the parents of James Bates, born in England in 1621. All seem to agree that he married Ruth Lyford in Hingham, Ma. in 1643 BUT some researchers make him the son of Clement and Anna Bates, as I have noted he re and some make him the brother of Clement Bates. On the ships passenger list (PLANTERS OF THE COMMONWEALTH 1620-1640, by Charles Edward Banks ), a James Bates age 14 arrived in New England in 1635 with the Clement and Anne Bates family. Also arriving in 1635 there was a James Bates a ge 53 and Alice Bates age 52 and family, All of the above were from Lydd, Kent, England. It would appear that the James Bates, son of Clement Bates is the same James Bates that married Ruth Lyford.

"Mr. Albert C. Bates, Librarian of the Connecticut Historical Society, Hartford, Conn., writes that there is no reason known to him for thinking that Anne (Withington) Bates ever lived at Huntington, Long Island, where, according to this article, she died in 1700. Mr. Bates states that she died before 16 Feb. 1691/2, when the children of 'James and hanah bate late of haddam deseased' signed an agreement dividing, apparently, 'the whole estat of the said James and Anna bate.' (Haddam Land Records, vol. 1, p. 22.) The wording of this agreement, continues Mr. Bates, indicates that Anne survived her husband and had come into possession of his property."

Biography
Spelling of the Name
The baptism records in England spell the name, Bate, and Robert C. Anderson in his Great Migration series spells the name, Bate.[1] Some of the older secondary sources use the spelling, Bates, and some of the later generations appear to have adopted this spelling. Per Albert C. Bates, "The addition of the final "s" appears to be an American innovation, often making its first appearance with the second generation of the family born in this country, although the time of change is in nowise uniform."[2]
Origin
James was baptized on 2 December 1582 at Lydd, county Kent, England, the son of James Bate and Mary (Martine?) Bate.[1]
Marriage
James married at Saltwood, Kent, England, on 16 September 1603 (license issued 13 September), to Alice Glover.[1][3] Alice died on 14 August 1657 At Dorchester.[1]

Immigration
On 17 April 1635, "James Bate aged 53" and his family was enrolled at London, as passengers aboard the Elizabeth.[1] James is listed as a husbandman. With him were his wife, Alice, and children, Lydia, aged 20 years, Mary, aged 17 years, Margaret, aged 12 years, and James, aged 9 years.[4] Four children had died at Lydd, and one son, Richard, remained in England.[5] James settled in Dorchester where he was made Freeman Dec. 7, 1636.

'Of the children who came to this country with him, Lyddia married Roger Wiliams of Dorchester; Mary married a gentleman who rejoiced in the name of Hopestill Foster, and Margaret a man by the name of Christopher Gibson. His son James married Ann, daughter of the first Henry Withington, and went to Haddam, CT.
'He made his will Nov. 22, 1655, noticed his 'sonne Richard Bate of Lid Towne in Kent in Old England' by giving him all his lands, moveable goods and debts that he then had or should have in Old or New England, as his own, unless altered by the Testator, and made Richard sole executor. On the 26th of November, 1655, his codicil provided that his son James should be joined as executor with Richard only for the purpose of receiving such debts as were owed him in New England and to sell such lands and goods, excepting such as he had directed to be given to his grandchild James Foster, provided he made a true inventory and conveyed the estate to his son Richard.
'In Elder Bates' later directions he notices his former will and gives to the three children of his so James, viz. Samuel, Allice and Mary L100 each when 21 years old and to his son James to have the use of L300 for and towards bringing up of said children, provided he should go with his family to live in England and give security to pay the L300. His house, orchard and 3 acres of planting land adjoining the meadow back of the dwelling house in Dorchester, N.E., he gave his grandson James Foster, provided his wife Allice Bate had the support of the house, etc. He evidently had not entire confidence in his son-in-law Mr. Christopher Gibson, for after his death, one, Roger Clapp of Dorchester, aged about 46 years, testified that he visited Mr. James Bate in his last illness and he entreated him 'to take a witness with him, that it was his will that his daughter Gibson, should have 10 pounds for her own use and NOT her husband.'
