Hoping to learn more about Philip GATES, believed to be the son of Yost/Jost GATES. Philip was born 1781 in York Co PA. Family removed to Rowan Co NC when he was approximately 4 years of age. Philip married Betsy Bullion in Rowan Co in 1803. Philip and Betsy had the following known children, if there were others I have not yet located them. Philip was in Muhlenburg Co KY in 1820. I can not locate him on 1830 or 1840, by 1850 he was living in Wayne Co IL on property adjoining that of son Michael. I do know that between 1820 and 1850 the 2 families lived some where in Indiana. I have been unable to locate what county they were in. Son Michael and his wife Catherine had children born in IN in 1837. That child, among others was my great great grandfather Simpson Franklin Gates. Any clues, suggestion or facts gratefully and graciously accepted. Thank you, please be advised that my e-mail address has changed to jrl91@cox.net Sarah, b. abt 1805, NC Susannah, b. abt 1807, KY Valentine, b. abt 1808, NC Michael, b. 1811, KY Gena Gates Lally
