Notes
a. Note:   From a letter from Charles V. Gates to Euleta (Deming) Allison - Aug 10, 1975:
  "We have no records of the other four uncles or aunts. Some of them might have stayed in Iowa City. All of those listed were born in Johnson County, Iowa City, and all of those listed came to Oregon, either by boat with grandpa (Daniel Goetz) or individually in emigrant trains across the plains. My father, John Gates, left Iowa City in 1863 at the age of 17, and drove freight wagon across the plains. He associated with Buffalo Bill. I recall my dad having cousins that also came to Oregon. In 1870 my grandad changed his name from Goetz to Gates, which is recorded in the Lane County, Oregon, courthouse at Eugene, in that year." _______________________ 1880 Lane Co., Ore.
