William W. Gates appears in both the 1850 and 1860 census of Madison, Richland County, Ohio.He is with his parents and siblings in 1850 and with his wife, Elizabeth, and daughter, Laura B., in the 1860 census.Both of these census records indicate that he was born in New Jersey rather than Pennsylvania.It appears that his parents were Peter and Abigail Gates.Peter was born in New Jersey about 1806 and Abigail was born there about two years later.
