Surnames: Gates Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/BOY.2ACIB/1426 Message Board Post: I am writing in search of anyone interested in a family of Gates who were listed in the 1865 Illinois state census as residents of the town of New Philadelphia, in Hadley Township, Pike County, Illinois. Jos. Gates was the head of a household of 6. I am working with a group of historians and archaeologists from the University of Maryland, the Illinois State Museum, the University of Illinois, and the New Philadelphia Association, to research the social history of this town and its past residents as part of our national heritage. We have recently obtained funding from the National Science Foundation as part of our efforts, and we will be engaged in a multi-year project of historical studies, oral history interviews, and archaeological investigations. If you are interested in this project, and recovering the national memory of this historic town, please contact us. We seek your input, as a member of the community who may have an interest in this effort, to talk with us about the types of questions you would like to have addressed through such research, and your thoughts and preferences on potential ways to honor the heritage of New Philadelphia. The story of New Philadelphia is both compelling and unique. In 1836, Frank McWorter, an African American who was born into slavery and later purchased his own freedom, acquired 42 acres of land in the sparsely populated area of Pike County, situated in the rolling hills bounded by the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. He incorporated a town, subdivided the property, and sold lots. He encouraged other families of African American and European heritage to move to the town and create a racially integrated community in the decades before and after the Civil War. New Philadelphia likely served as a stopping place for the "Underground Railroad" of enslaved African Americans who were fleeing northward from the oppression of southern plantations. The history of New Philadelphia serves as a rare example of an integrated early farming community on the nation's Midwestern frontier. The town's population reached its peak of about 170 people after the Civil War, a size comparable to many! Pike County communities today. However, by the end of the century corporate politics resulted in the death knell for the settlement: regional transportation investors routed a new railroad line to bypass the town. Many of New Philadelphia's residents eventually moved away and, by the early twentieth century, only a few families remained. You can learn more about the history of New Philadelphia, and details concerning upcoming phases of our multi-year research efforts by following the related web page links you will find at: http://www.heritage.umd.edu Thank you very much for your time and consideration, Claire Martin

Hello, folks, a gentle reminder that we have to follow the provisions of RootsWeb's AUP (Acceptable Use Policy), to be found at: http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/aup.html This provides, inter alia, that "Content submitted for the purpose of commercial use, advertising or fee for service is prohibited." In the case of the GATES list, I have incorporated into the list rules the following: "(f) commercial posts are not allowed without the express prior permission of the list admin. or deputy admin. A commercial post is a reference to any site that charges for goods or services but excludes (1) sites in the public sector that might charge for services and (2) sites in the private sector that provide information drawn, under contract, from public sector sources. This can be a somewhat grey area so, if in doubt, please check with the list admin. first. Subscribers' experiences with commercial sites are welcome as long as there's no "advertising" context (including references to fee structures, etc.). Please use common sense with commercial posts and if in doubt, again, please check with the list admin. or deputy admin. first;" This particular post did not come directly to the GATES List but was gatewayed from the GATES Board, but please observe these provisions.
