She gained prominence during the Era of Manifestations, and was one of the most notable receivers and interpreters of spirit messages during that era.[1]
Life
Paulina was one of a number of children with the surname "Bates" who came to the Shaker community at Watervliet from Jefferson County, New York, and may have been a member of the extended family of Issachar Bates, although their relationship is unclear; she joined the Shakers as an adult after confessing her sins.[1]
Bates is also remembered for her association with Rebecca Cox Jackson. In 1850, while Jackson was living at Watervliet, Bates provided her with a pamphlet describing the so-called "Rochester rappings", which sparked in Jackson an interest in visions and manifestations.[2]
Jackson, in her writings, indicates that she believed that Eldress Bates was providing misinformation about her to Issachar Bates. Paulina gave Jackson a formal blessing in 1858, and provided an offer of financial support to the community in Philadelphia, although some sources have noted that no records indicate that any support ever materialized.[3]
