Lewis b.abt.1828 Germany,Jacob b.abt.1833 Germany, Francis Peter b. abt 1843 Germany. They were in Sciotoville,Portsmouth Ohio area in the 1850 census,maybe poorhouse ? I am leaning towards Lewis being the father of George Gates Re 1880 census listing family George b. abt. 1870 in Ohio. This family was from Wuertemberg,Germany.Any info would be lovely !! Deb
