Morgan Gates, John Gates and Rebecca ? Rankin, Mississppi...
I just found an 1850 census for Morgan Gates.I guess the reason I never saw it before was because his name is misspelled (Morgah instead of Morgan) in it.It's the census for Simpson, Mississippi.His mother, Rebecca, is living with him and lists her year of birth and place of birth as 1785 and in Georgia.She's 65 in this census.Also, there's a 78 year old woman named Rachel Carter living with them.Anyone have any idea who this lady is?She's not old enough to be Rebecca's mother, but maybe a sister?If we could figure out who this Rachel is maybe we could figure out what Rebecca's maiden name was.
