My grandparents were John William David
Gates and Margarett
Gates. Both originally from
Randolph Co. Grandpa was the son of Michael C. Gates of the O'Kean/ Pocahontas area. Mom tells me there was another
Gates family in
Delaplaine not connected to us...but I have to wonder??? Have been away from my research for a time, sorry to take so long to check. I have
Gates from all around Walnut
Ridge area also.
