I just wanted to follow up my message in case anyone else is looking for Ella Gates of Keokee, Va (1869-1912).
I found out her full name was Eliza E Gates. She was born in Lee County, VA in 1869. Her father was William A Gates, b. 1835 Surry County NC. He fought for the Confederates in the Civil War. Eliza E's mother was Eliza Barker, born in Surry County NC to Gideon Barker and Mary Muncus. They all moved to Lee County around 1868.
Feel free to email me for more info or if you find a family connection.
