 Includes NotesNotes for John Gates:
[Rosser-Boney-Smith-Nabers-Gates.FTW]

Nothing much is known of this ancestor. He may have lived in Henrico county, Virginia. He died before 1724, leaving his two minor sons to a Charles Snugs. Susannah Gates, who married Edward Maxey, is believed to be a sister. A brother may have been named James, who died in 1740.

Family legend tells us that the originator of our American Gates line was Thomas Gates who arrived in Jamestown in 1609 aboard the Swan. This was not the Sir Thomas Gates of that time, but another, who was an "Ancient Planter" and married a woman named Elizabeth who arrived in Jamestown aboard the Warwick in 1620. However, I have not been able to trace or prove this connection.
