Daniel, your grandfather is my uncle. His brother, Jay is my dad. I'm in eastern Ohio. I usually hear from your mom. Dad is in his 80's. Do you have your grandmother, Barbara's parents? My mom was a Davis from SW Pa. I'm not sure about Aunt Barbara's family.We have the Gates comming to Fayette county from Cambria Co. Pa. John Caleb Gates (Johann Gottlieb Gotz) came from SW Germany in 1802 and setteled in the Beaver Valley area. He is burried there with Elizabeth, his wife and several decendents. There are quite a number of Gates remaining in this area. Some have spread across this country. Some have moved to Australia, England and other areas.
