John Blaney Bates married in 1807 Mary (Sylvester) Taylor (widow of Edward Taylor)
The Plymouth Court House was built and designed by John Blaney Bates, a Plymouth builder. He was also the host for the 1820 Dec. 22 Forefather's Dinner, which was held in the unfinished courthouse,
following Daniel Webster's famous oration in the First Parish Church.
Mr. Bates acquired special commemorative plates for the occasion from the Davis company on Main Street,
which had ordered them in preparation for the 1820 Pilgrim Bicentennial from Enoch Wood & Co. of
Burslem, Staffordshire, and they became the first Pilgrim souvenir (after pieces of the Plymouth Rock itself). Beside each plate were laid five grains of parched corn, traditional ration of the Pilgrims during the difficult early days of the settlement.
