This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Gates, Moulton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BOY.2ACIB/1525 Message Board Post: Is there someone out there doing Gates research who has any information on Simon Gates (b. 1770-1775 d. 1826-1829)? He is my 3rd great grandfather. My theory is that both Catherine Moulton Munger and Simon lost their spouses in Clark Co, OH and they then married there on 8 Feb 1820. (Have not located his first wife's name nor a grave site yet). Both had children and as far as I know they had only one son, Merrill Gates, born in 1821. Catherine and three of her Munger children and Merrill emigrated to Kosciusko Co.,IN after Simon's death around 1826-1829 in Union County, OH. Would deeply appreciate any help that can be provided and will share any information I might have gathered over the years.
