  A constable of Hingham in 1665, he was a selectman in 1676, and a Lieutenant in King Philip's War. Inherited "land and other valuables" from his father, Clement Bates. In his will, dated 14 Nov 1678, he said that, after his wife's death, the bulk of his estate was to go to his brother's children, and also to his servant, Nathaniel Wilson. Also mentioned in his will are his brother-in-law, Amiel Weeks, his cousin, Samuel Clapp of Dorchester, ensign John Thaxter, and John Cutler of Hingham, all of whom he asked to look after his wife after his death.
