Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/BOY.2ACIB/1348.1 Message Board Post: William, Thank you very much for posting the will and surrogate court record for JOHN GATES. It helps shed some additional light on this Gates family which has been the subject of a considerable amount of research by several descendants. By integrating this with census data, marriage records and information submitted by family members we come up with the following picture which, although incomplete, is an improvement over what was known before. PARENTS: Father’s given name name unknown, mother’s given name Jemima, born about 1790 in Vermont [1850 census]. Father probably died prior to the 1850 census when Jemima resided with her son-in-law and daughter, Samuel A. & Jemima (Gates) Wolcott, in Aurora, Erie County, NY. Jemima Gates was buried in the Oakwood Cemetery, East Aurora, Erie County, NY. The inscription on her gravestone reads “1788-1879.” GATES CHILDREN: 1. LAURA, born about 1813 in Vermont [1850 census of Walpole, Cheshire Co., NH] married April 25, 1836, Elijah H. PROUTY [Brattleboro, VT record]. In 1850 this family resided in Walpole, Cheshire County, New Hampshire. 2. AURILLA or AURELIA, born 1815 in Putney, Vermont [obituary], died in 1904, buried Oakwood Cemetery, East Aurora, Erie County, NY, married in 1833, as his second wife, Isaac ADDINGTON [“History of the City of Buffalo and Erie County, New York” (1884) Perry Smith, Volume VI]. This family resided in Aurora, Erie County, NY. 3. JEMIMA, born March 26, 1817 in Vermont, died November 30, 1893 in Ludlow, Livingston, County, MO, married, about 1839, Samuel A. WOLCOTT, born September 21, 1809, died April 21, 1879 in Ludlow, Livingston County, MO, son of James and Hannah (Bartlett) Wolcott. Family resided in Aurora, Erie County, NY in 1850; Rock County, WI in 1860; and Livingston County, MO in 1870. [Information received in 1987 from Barbara Burner, St. Louis, MO.] 4. ROXANA E., born about 1823 in Putney, VT [1850 census of Rockingham, Windham County, VT] married, November 11, 1846 in Putney, VT, Abner M. CUSHING [town record]. 5. JOHN, born about 1823 in Vermont [1850 census of Brookfield, Madison County, NY], died between July 15, 1852 and October 4, 1853, in Brookfield, Madison County, NY or Aurora, Erie County, NY [estate documents from SAMPUBCO copied by William R. Ladd]. 6. JAMES O. He was almost certainly the James O. Gates of Brattleboro, VT who married August 31, 1845 in Rockingham, Windham County, VT, Elizabeth S. BRYANT [Rockingham, VT record]. Thanks again. Robert Cady Gates [email protected]

This Thomas is on the 1880 SC census with a son Jess Morgan, age2, this is my gdad. Thomas is not listed after that so I figured he died between 1881and next census. Both of these Thomases are listed as Richland County SC residents. Any help would be appreciated. I know this is confusing. If you know where they are buried, that would be helpful also. There is a Gates Burial Ground somewhere in Pontiac SC, but I have not been able to find it and the funeral homes are no help.

Hello. I think we all hope that General Horatio Gates is an ancestor, I know I did. However, I'm afraid he had only one son who died unmarried about the age of 21. I was disappointed when I learned of it, but later learned that _my Gateses came over over 100 years before Horatio and had enough family to fill a book! So you lose one and win a lot. Sometimes, though, those family stories prove true. They are not to be discounted without adequate investigation.

Actually, Christian was WIlliam's father, and George was Christian's father. I forgot to put Christian in the line. So it is: George- Christian- William-(who came to Clarke County around 1835, and- William Lewis. Many trace their roots to Willam Lewis from Clarke County, and he married Sarah Gladys Bradford. He served in the Civil War.

I know that Ransom and Ruth Gates got married in Oswego NY. I don't recognize the names you have listed though. Check McRay Cemetary in Corry Pennsylvania, a lot of Gates family is buried there. Maybe your Gates family moved with my Gates family to Pennsylvania or maybe they stayed in New York and only my branch moved. I wish I could be more helpful.
