Biography

Mary "Polly" first married unknown Mr. Crandall. Note there are Crandalls buried next to Polly.

Next she married Henry Bates, who is buried in the Carter Cemetery with her father Asahel and sisters Mrs. Lydia and Mrs. Anna Bentley. A published sketch of Henry Bates: In 1815 Henry Bates and Peter Kinsley, soldiers in the English army, deserted and crossed the Niagara River under the fire of the English and came into the lines of the Americans. In 1818 they came to New London. Bates married Phebe Hendryx, a daughter of Anthony Hendryx. His second wife was Phebe Root, a sister of Samuel Parker’s wife and his third wife was Polly Parker (Crandall), a sister of Samuel Parker. In 1828 he bought 50 acres of land near the Livermore settlement, but sold it the next year. He once lived across the road from Dr. McMillan’s house. He went to Florence and from there to Camden, where he died.

Widowed Polly is buried next to her thrice married daughter widow Sarah Twining and a Willie (yet to be researched), as well as two Crandall burials.
