Daniel Bates was born in the province of Quebec, September 19, 1817, son of Cyrus 
and Hannah (Webster) Bates, natives of Connecticut and New Hampshire, 
respectively. He died in OTSEGO county in 1840, and she in Woodhull, NY. Daniel 
Bates was reared on a farm and educated in the common schools, and has since 
followed farming and coopering. In 1853 (the same year his wife's father Joseph 
Northrup died-AC) he came to Steuben county, where he owns 119 acres of land. In 
1843 he married Amy Northrup, by whom he had eight children, six of whom grew to 
maturity. His second wife was Harriet Church, by whom he had three children. The 
great grandfather was born on the ocean and lived to be 104 years of age.

listing all children.
