They were mentioned as heirs-at-law of John Wiley in a deed in 1796: 1796 Apr 26 - RALPH GATES and wife JANE GATES and MARY MANNIX heir at law of JOHN WILEY dec'd sell 200 acres to FRANCIS BEST on Soabs Nob where BEST lived adjoining MANNIX. Don't know of any other siblings, or if this John Wiley was their father, brother, or other relation. All of the above moved to Champaign/Clark Co. OH about 1806/07. Also - Was the Rosanna mentioned below the daughter of Dennis and Mary Manix? 1809 Jul 12 - ANDREW ENSMINGER & ROSANNAH vs RALPH GATES & JAMES MANNIX, Luke Wert (also seen as West) of Virginia, now deceased, made a note with James Manix of Champaign County; note now held by Ralph Gates of Champaign County and Rosannah Ensminer (widow of Luke Wert). Rosannah gave all real estate inherited by her to Ralph Gates for the payment of the note. Champaign Co., OH Chancery Record Book 2, Page 5 - Filed 12 July(?) 1809 Would also like to know if there is a relationship between Ralph Gates and James and Rosanna Dempsey, and if so, what it could be: 1795 Jul 28 - RALPH GATES bought 375 acres on Second Creek from JAMES DEMPSEY and wife ROSEY DEMPSEY of which 180 acres patented by Dempsey and GATES in 1783 other 195 acres patented by James Dempsey in 1787. Oh, BTW, my ancestors are Ralph Gates and Jane Wiley. Hope I've made some sense. Thanks! Adina Dyer
