Micheal Boatner's 1974 book, the Encyclopedia of the American Revolution gives a different ancestry. It has been picked up by a number of web sites, but I still accept my older notes. As a defense, many libraries have dropped the Boatner book due to other inaccuracies. In fairness, however, I must report there are no other specific challenge to his version of Gates' biography.

Was Gates born in 1726 or 1727? I've seen 1728 cited as well. Perhaps the change from Julian to Gregorian has something to do with it, but because no month and day of birth are given, one can't be sure. -- Flauto Dolce 01:14, 11 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Shouldn't this be moved to wikipedia commons? Fawcett5 16:07, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
