This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Gates/ Foote Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BOY.2ACIB/1451.2 Message Board Post: I just returned today from a trip to NYS and found many Gates' in several cemeteries in Oneida and Onondaga Counties. I believe there was a Gates with that given name. They are my gt. grandfather's in-laws. I have only just begun to search them out, and have very little on them. I believe they stem from one Rufus Gates. Linda Skinner <[email protected] >
