I am trying to find a hole in my genealogy and need help:

1. I believe my great grandfather was a Samuel Gates whose wife may have been Rosanne. I believe he was born at gates Mountain in the Oldham Gates line. His cousin was Susan Gates Roach, the sister of Caleb gates, and the wife of George Roach. He had five children: James(b. 1873), Charlotte(b. 1870), William(b. 1875), Frances(b1876), & Agnes(my grandmother, b. 1882). He later moved to either NY or NJ. I know nothing of his parents, siblings, birth & death dates, etc. Any help would be appreciated.

2. I believe there is a Gates relationship also here with W.B. Mosher and the house at Mosher's Corners. Irving Mosher, who owned a grocery store in Margaretsville and later this house, was also involved.

3. Lastly, I understand that during the mid 1800s, one of my relatives(an uncle, I believe)came from Victoria Vale to Margaretsville to work on building ships. He married a local girl and had some children. He later became demented; came home one night and axed to death his wife and children. The ice man found the bodies the next day and found the uncle hanging over the dock in the Bay of Fundy when the tide went out. He was buried in the old Margaretsville cemetary, but the body was stolen by grave robbers who sold it to a doctor in Halifax. I understand a story may have been written about this incident by a historian in Margaretsville in the 1960s/70s. Any clarification of this would be helpful or any ties to #1 & #2 above.
