Thank you for checking my message and getting back with me. The spelling of my great grandfather's name is spelt this way on my grandfather's death certificate. My dad past away in 1980 never knowing the names of his grandparents, Elizah and Angelina(Motes)Gates. My dad had told me that his father, Frank Henry Gates was an orphan. The info. on the death cert. was given by Frank's daughter, Kathleen Gates in 1950. I know Ohio is in there some where because Frank's sister, Mary Gates Lee was living in Akron Ohio at the time of his death. Please keep looking and thanks again.
