Hi, My gggrandfather, Jacob R. Gates, moved to Massac Co. in about 1842 and was a hog farmer. According to ads in the newspaper, he was also a butcher and had a stall at the farmer's market in Metropolis. He was briefly the Massac Co. treasurer and ran once but lost an aldermanic seat. Family history says that several of his children worked on the Ohio River ...but I don't have any records. His wife was Mary G. Faughn and her family were farmers. Jacob and Mary and all of their children and their families moved to Butler Co. Missouri in 1876 and then to Greene Co. Arkansas by 1880. Gail Compton

Brad: If your gggrandfather Hardy was married to Julia PISTOLE, and your ggrandfather was married to Ella Catherine BERRY, I would very much like to touch base with you. Kenneth R.
