    History of Ontario County, NY, Pub. 1878, Pg. 163
    Joseph Brown GATES the chief subject of this sketch, was born in Hopewell, Ontario County, New York, April 28, 1802. At the present writing he is in his seventy-fifty year and resides on the farm where he was born, and where he has always resided, three and one-half miles east of Canandaigua, on the old turnpike road. His father, Daniel GATES, was one of the first settlers in Ontario County, having emigrated hither from Rutland county, Vermont, in the year 1789. Soon after his settlement in Gorham (now Hopewell), his wife died, leaving him a family of nine children. About the year 1793, he married Milcah BROWN, widow of Joseph BROWN, of Vermont. As the result of his second marriage, there were five children born to them, Esther, Cyrus, Moses S., Joseph B. and Fordys.
    All of this second family settled in the neighborhood of their birthplace, Joseph B., succeeding to the old homestead. On the 22nd of October, 1829, Joseph B., was married to Pamelia B. COOK. He lead a quiet, industrious farmer life through all the subsequent years of activity. Careful and prudent in all his business concerns, he gathered about his home the comforts and privileges well earned by toil, and gave his five children the benefits of a good academical education. He has ever borne both a character and reputation of unquestionable integrity. Preferring to suffer wrong rather than to do wrong, he never had a contested lawsuit, either as plaintiff or defendant. Being one of the most highly respected citizens of Ontario county, he has been many times urged to allow his name to be used in reference to places of public trust; but he studiously declined such proffered honors, and hence never was a candidate for any official position, and never held any office above school trustee. Always leading an exemplary, moral life, he for many years was a regular attendant and supporter of the Presbyterian church in Hopewell, and afterwards of the Wesleyan Methodist church at Hopewell Centre, to which his wife was joined. In September, 1869, after forty years of contented marriage, his companion in life was separated from him by death. His five children are living to respect and honor him in his advanced years.

GATES, resides on the old homestead, where he was born April 28, 1802. He has five children living, viz: Elisha L. and Mary M., residing in the town; Daniel N., in Minnesota; J. Spencer, in Illinois, and John C., in Iowa. Daniel WARREN, Shubeal CLARK, and Daniel GATES Jr., were early settlers on this lot.
