Is Noah Gates, Spouse of Abigail (Betts) (Gates) Rood

Resting in Lakeview Cemetery,

Cayuga Village, Cayuga County, NewYork ?

To Begin: A Footnote!

Sometime ago I put Noah Gates on a “watch list” on the FamilySearch.org website and more or less forgot about it. Last night, August 27, 2019, I got an email that said his record had been edited with new information.

As I followed up I'm still not sure what I have but I have long been looking for information about what happened to Noah, having concluded that he died sometime around 1813. The latter is based on court records in which Samuel Gates (Noah's father) filed for guardianship of his children (and named) in the County of Saratoga, New York.

Many have, since the court records constructed a narrative that he died in the War of 1812. That may be but Abigail was left with many mouths to feed and I assume she would have applied for a pension or land patent. I can find no such record.

Before Noah came to Cayuga County he was an officer in the New York Militia in Saratoga. He resigned his commission. His brother Coleman also was an officer and continued to rise in the ranks in Saratoga.

Coming back to the present!

A link was created from FamilySearch.org to FindaGrave.com putting “Sr Gates” in the Lakeview Cemetery, as linked to “Noah Gates Sr.” The former “Sr Gates” hopefully has some dates associated with it or other further source data.

I have requested a photograph from FindaGrave.com along with any information about how the entry was created.

Watch this space ... the answer seems to be no.  Contacted FAG volunteer who covered this cemetery an he reports no Noah Gates memorials exist (anyway).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The short answer is that no such burial or memorial stone is located in this cemetery.

The following dialog with an FAG contact and cousin (reverse order) make it clear -

RE: Noah Gates

You are very welcome. Thanks for the information on the Gates. I am sorry you can't find Noah. I have some understanding of that disappointment and frustration

RE: Noah Gates

William,
You are welcome. The records for Lakeview show no Gates buried there and I have no Gates in my folder for Lakeview. This is the link to the Gs in Lakeview. Portion of the burials doesn't mean the list is incomplete. It means that particular page is the G portion of burials

William,
There is no volunteer in Cayuga county. I photographed much of Lakeview and that is how gravestone photos are posted to memorials there. I have no photo for Noah Gates and I have never seen a stone dating as far back as 1813
