This is years late, but I just wanted to a call out a reference I recently came across to Gatewood. Henry C. Sanford, a unionist living in Cherokee County during the war, stated in his application to the Federal Claims Commission that "the Desperado Gatewood" intended to kill him for his Union sympathies. Cherokee County is located in North Alabama and borders the GA line.
