There were numerous toll gates in Tippecanoe County at that time. You
would need to have some idea of where your ancestor lived
in order to speculate on which toll gate he kept. Plank roads and gravel
roads both had toll gates at beginning and end

Dayton, for instance in Sheffield
township, and in West Lafayette (in Wabash township), there are stories of
roads that were used to get around the toll gates.
