Brown and Bartholomew County Gates Descendents,
If you are descended from David Gates (1824-1894, married Sidney Shahan) or
Daniel Gates (1826-1911,married Nancy Griffin), you are invited to the
annual Gates reunion. These Gates brothers were born in Germany and moved
to Bartholomew and Brown Counties sometime prior to 1860 after spending some
time in northern Kentucky and Cincinnati.
The reunion is always the last Sunday in August. We will meet and eat at
1:00 at the Beech Shelter in Johnson County Park (old Camp Atterbury near
Edinburgh, Indiana). Bring your family, table service, whatever food you
want to share, lawn chairs, and any family information that you want to
share. There is a playground nearby for the children.
Hope all of you Gates descendents can join us. If you can't make it this
year, please put it on your calendar for next year!
