Posted on: Tioga Co. NY Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NY/Tioga/213 Surname: GATES, MONROE, OLMSTEAD, COBB, LOPEMAN, LADU, HOBBINS ------------------------- I don't have info on your people but I am interested in them because of what maybe a coincidence. I have an Esther Nancy GATES b.3 May 1849 Lovell Station, (Erie?), PA (or Concord, Erie, PA?) m Henry L MONROE b 24 June 1847 Candor, Tioga, NY. The only child I know of is Marvin Ramon MONROE b 1872 Erie Co., PA. I have Esther's parents as Ransom GATES b 1804 NY and Ruth WILCOX, married about 1835 Fulmer, PA. Do you know of any possible connection between your GATES and mine?
