  There are records of Stephen Gates among the men of Preston who responded to the alarm at Lexington, Mass. in 1775 and who otherwise served in the American War for Independence. Thse records probably refer to his son, Stephen, b. 1746/47.
  Toward the end of or shortly after the American War for Independence, Stephen Gates moved to Halifax, Windham Co., Vermont, where he died, say 11 Dec. 1787, aged nearly 69. People named Woodard (his mother's maiden name) also lived and were active buying and selling land around Halifax, Vermont in the late 1700s.
  His death date is given in Stephen Gates & Descendants, by Clarence Almon Torrey in the New England Historic Genealogical Society Register (Boston, Oct 1966), Vol. 120, pp. 264-265.
  According to local officials in Windham Co., Vermont, there are two probate districts in the county, and the one that includes Halifax is Marlboro. A clerk at the Marlboro Probate Court was kind enough to look in their index, and said that there is no will or probate record on file for anyone named Gates prior to 1800.
  Deeds in Vermont are kept by the Town Clerks. The Town of Halifax has old deed records from the 1700s, and they are accessible to researchers. They have a general index and each book is also indexed. The general index is for deed records only. The older record books include deeds as well as town meeting records, animal registrations, etc., and so it would also be worth while to examine the index for early books to see if any other records exist.
