I've been researching some of the same Gates' line that you are. My gr-gr-grandmother was Irvilla Gates, who married Thomas Jefferson Wheeler. We strongly believe, but have no proof, that decends from the Daniel Gates in your post and is related in some way to Shubel Clark that is also mentioned in your post. I have collected a lot of scattered info on Daniel, Shubel (also sometimes spelled Shubal) and their families, and on Fobes family who married Sabra Gates. I think that my line goes from Daniel down through Daniel's son, Parley Gates, who married Ophra Scott.
In researching these Gates, I gathered a lot of info on Gates that lived in Ontario County, NY and later in Michigan. Would like to swap info on any of these or other Gates Families if of interest to you. We may find that each of us has info that will help the other. Any response will be deeply appreciated.
