I do believe we are all tying into the same family. My Ceylon W. Gates born in Wisconsin in 1851, around towns of Lyndon and Plymouth Wisconsin. Ceylon W. was the son of Coleman Gates who was born in CT. Ceylon's mother was Jane Elizabeth Weed who was born in New York.
Our Great Grandfather, Charles Coleman Gates was a brother of Ceylon W. Gates, and William Moor Gates.
Our Great-Grandfather left Wisconsin and settled in Mpls,MN. William Moor and Frank moved to Michigan. Ceylon spent a few years in Nebraska prior to his marriage. He married Ella Harmon and had one son Herbert who married Jennie E. Hoppert the 30th of August 1919.
Ceylon, Ella, Herbert & Jennie are buried in Harmon family cemetery in Lyndon, Wisconsin.
The name Ceylon is quite unique, and with MN,MI,WI,in the family background, I believe we are related. Can you fill in some gaps?
Looking forward to hearing from you. Patti Lee Gates
