Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Henry Gates was born about 1903 in Minnesota (son of Worthy Conger Gates and Harriet Wesley Scott).

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Worthy Conger Gates was born on 27 Oct 1851 in Beaver Dam, Dodge County, Wisconsin (son of Noel Conger Gates and Sybil Ann Thompson); died on 19 Jul 1936 in Oroville, Butte County, California; was buried on 23 Jul 1936 in Cherokee Cemetery, Oroville, Butte County, California.

  2. 3.  Harriet Wesley Scott was born on 25 Nov 1859 in New York (daughter of Samuel Scott and Ann Thompson); died on 7 Aug 1951 in Oroville, Butte County, California; was buried on 11 Aug 1951 in Cherokee Cemetery, Oroville, Butte County, California.

    (Medical):Cerebral Sclerosis

    Notes:

    Married:
    Worthy and Harriett were living in Cass County, Minnesota as of the 1900 and 1910 census. At the time of the 1900 census, he was listed as William, perhaps in error. His occupation was shown as railroad laborer. His date of birth, perhaps also in error, was shown as October 1847. The 1900 census showed that Worthy and Harriett had been married 16 years (ca 1884). Harriet was listed as the mother of 11 children, 7 of whom were still living. The six children listed at home at the time of the 1900 census were William, Claricy, Lydia, Viola, Harry and Frederick. Charles ASHLAND and Charley LEAKE were living in their home as boarders. William was shown as a railroad laborer.

    The 1910 census shows that both were married once, and had been married 37 years (which would push the marriage date back to ca 1873). The census further shows that Harriett was the mother of 12 children, 7 of whom were still living. Of the six children listed at home in 1900, only Harry was still at home. Perhaps Frederick, who should still have been living at home at age 10, had died. An additional son, 7 year old Henry, was listed as well.

    According to Jake Schopf, they lived in Everett, Washington for a few years and then moved to Butte County, California.

    Kristine Hammond also lists them as the parents of Noel, Ellen, Emma and Sybil. As none of these children are on either the 1900 or 1910 census, perhaps they were among the five children who died.

    Children:
    1. William Ira Gates was born on 6 Jan 1886 in Iowa; died on 26 Jun 1964 in Butte County, California.
    2. Clarissa Gates was born in Mar 1889 in Iowa.
    3. Lydia Gates was born in Mar 1891 in Iowa.
    4. Viola Gates was born in Feb 1893 in Iowa.
    5. Harry O. Gates was born in May 1897 in Minnesota.
    6. Frederick Gates was born in Mar 1900 in Minnesota; died before 1910.
    7. 1. Henry Gates was born about 1903 in Minnesota.

At the time of the 1860 Federal census, 40 year old Sybil is listed in the household of 55 year old John BODGLEY, along with 9 year old Worthy GATES and 13 year old Lydia GATES.

    Christian Church of Ellington (1823) The Christian Church of Ellington (then Gerry) was organized July 13,1823 and was composed of seven members: Ira GATES Noel C.

    No articles of faith were adopted; the members simply agreeing ? to take the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments for the rule of faith and practice at all times.? From the time of organization for about tens years the records are meager, containing little else than the record of members received and dismissions. Among the ministers who served the church were:
