I am interested in Geo W. Gates and Martha Jane Neal. My grandmother (step)'s name was Martha Jane Gates b. 1883 in Jewell Co., Kansas. She married Jesse Eugene Sawyer b. 1870 in Iowa. They had 12 children....9 in Nebraska and 3 in Oregon. I have not been able to find their parents, but George and Martha Gates looked promising. There is the Jewell Co connection and the same name, Martha Jane. The census says that grandma's parents were born in Ohio.....whoever they were. Another bit of information I found is that Geo. W, was in the Penitentery at Leavenworth in 1880. Martha is alone in Jewell Co. She has 3 Gates children, 2 Loper children and a couple of grandkids.......so unless he got out before 1883 my grandmother doesn't belong to this family and I am still at a dead end. Thanks for reading through this. Margaret

Folks, it's 14:58 here on Sun., 14 Nov., in the middle of the Canadian prairie, and it looks like the digests on RootsWeb's LISTS5 server are starting to flow again ... Once the backlog of the digests has been cleaned up, the intention is to resume regular "list" mode mail delivery ... this should begin within a day or so, likely earlier, so it'll be a while before you receive THIS post. I'm informed by RootsWeb that we can expect to see some odd things for a little bit, including posts being received out of order, duplicate posts, some odd things with administrative-type posts (subscribes, unsubscribes, etc.), and so on. This will be a bit of an experience for all of us as we get back to normal mail service. Please feel free to contact me directly at [email protected] (or at the [listname][email protected] address) if I can be of any assistance in answering any questions, but I suspect that within a couple of days, all will be well again.

Sept. 17. --- (AP) --- Arrayed in a new tailored blue suit, Virginia Ewing Gates, Philadelphia heiress, now Mrs. Dan McCafferty, was ready tonight to leave Boise for some place on the Pacific coast to make a home with her wrestler-mechanic husband whom she married in a strange "highway romance" while state and federal officials sought widely for her. Their plans, admittedly nebulous, were changed again this afternoon and remained subject to further change. Early in the day they announced their intention to leave this afternoon by train for Salt Lake City en route to San Francisco and Los Angeles. MET YEAR AGO. Eventually, McCafferty said, they will reach El Centrol, Calif., the town in which he spent several months during the past year before resuming the wandering that brought him finally to Boise and to a wedding with the girl he met about a year ago at a rodeo dance near Pinedale, Wyo. It was from a dude ranch at Pinedale tht she disappeared and precipitated an extensive search. --------------------------------------- "The Helena Daily Independent" Published at Helena, Montana Friday, September 21, 1934 Page 4: VIRGINIA AND DAN There was, we must suppose, something cosmic about the meeting of Dan McCafferty and Virginia Gates. At any rate it appears to have been something akin to the hypothetical meeting of the irresistible force and the immovable object. They simply merged. And why shouldn't they? They were free spirits. They knew little or nothing about lost liberties and regimentation and the rape of constitutional rights. Virginia indeed had just walked out on them and in doing so had hiked right into Danny's arms. All they knew, all they needed to know for the time being was that two can thumb as cheaply as one. But the hand of fate isn't all thumbs as Danny must have discovered when he learned that he had married his wife right under the nose of a nation-wide searching party, including the federal secret service, out looking for her. We should like to analyze his feelings but the best we can guess is that they baffle, as the baffled school of writers so aptly styles it's description. Dan appears to be a simple if versatile lad. He knows his Imperial Valley, he can turn his hand at adjusting a carburetor or driving another man's car, he can understudy at a wrestling match or a boxing bout and between whiles can travel on his thumb. That's a far cry from the most exalted educational, financial and social circles of Pennsylvania with which he has now established an in-law's connection. But Dan takes it calmly enough. He isn't the man to be awed by Pennsylvania. Fingering a check representing the bride's father's acceptance of the inevitable he remarks with simple candor, "Well, we are not broke any more." What more could an embarrassed son-in-law say, and what less?---Omaha World-Herald ------------------------------------------- "The Helena Daily Independent" Published at Helena, Montana Monday, September 24, 1934 Pages 1 & 5: RUNAWAY COUPLE IN AUTO SMASHUP----FORMER VIRGINIA GATES CRITICALLY HURT Sacramento, Calif., Sept., 23. --- (AP) --- Virginia Gates McCafferty, 22, hitch-hiking daughter of Dr. Thomas S. Gates, president of the University of Pennsylvania, and her mechanic husband, Dan McCafferty, 26, were critically injured in a head-on automobile collision near Dixon tonight. Both suffered fractured skulls and other less serious injuries. They were taken to Butter hospital here where their recovery is in doubt. A 7-year old girl, riding in the machine with which the McCafferty collided was fatally injured. The dead girl is Marjorie Johnson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. R. Johnson, Sacramento. INJURED The injured, in addition to McCafferty and his wealthy bride, are: Johnson, 44, fractured skull, cuts on head and other injuries; condition critical. His wife, 35, also in critical condition from a fractured skull; Their daughter, Elle, 9 head injuries; condition serious; Gordon Bennett, 23, of El Centro, wrenched back. Joe McCafferty, 26, brother of Dan, minor injuries. The McCaffertys left Salt Lake City with an unidentified motorist September 21 headed for California where they had expressed a desire to live following their marriiage in Moscow, Idaho, and its subsequent revelation in Boise. The wealthy bride previous had disappeared from a dude ranch hear Pinedale, Wyo., and was the subject of a widespread search in which department of justice operatives took part. REAPPERS The search, which began August 14, ended when she and her bride groom, former El Centro, Calif., taxicab driver, were found in Boise, Sept. 15. In Boise, the college president's daughter revealed how she had met McCafferty during her hitch-hiking tour from the dude ranch to Boise, although she was reticent to discuss details of the tour. "I don't want all this publicity." she said laughingly at that time. "Just say we are going to live in California." BUY CAR The couple had originally planned to go to El Centro by bus to make their home, but Bennett said they had changed their plans and gone to Salt Lake City and bought a second hand car to make the trip. They were on their way from Salt Lake to San Francisco to spend the night before continuing to El Centro. The place where the crash occured is just outside Dixon, 26 miles from here, on the San Francisco highway. ----------------------------------- TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: I am NOT related to this Gates family, nor do I have any personal knowledge of the individuals involved. The above newspaper articles were so interesting, I wanted to post them in case anyone is researching the Thomas S. Gates family of Philadelphia, PA.
