Col. Timothy Matlack, subscriber of the Declaration of Independence, had no Bates ancestors.I do not know if one of his descendants married a Bates.Isaac Matlack and Rebecca Bate, married May 28, 1733, are my 5th great grandparents.Bate/Bates was used interchangeably in early records but Bates became the more common spelling.There is a good possibility the Bates who lived in Timothy Matlack house around 1900 are descended from Rebecca’s grandfather William Bate but you would have to do the research to prove the connection.
