  Notes	The name Johann Godlieb Götz was anglicized to John Caleb Gates. "Johann Gottlieb Götz, a glass worker from Wilenburg, Germany, (Wilenburg on his headstone, Großsachsenheim on the ship's manifest -Ed) arrived in Philadelphia, PA, September 19, 1802 (actually 1804 -Ed) aboard the ship 'Margaret'. He brought with him a large leather-bound bible printed in the German language in Nürnberg in 1765. This bible was donated to the Krannert Memorial Library of the Indiana Central University, Indianapolis, Indiana, and is available to family members. According to the ship's list of passengers, John Caleb Gates (Johann Gottlieb Götz) came to America, departing from Amsterdam, Holland, and was listed as a 'Glass Maker'. He was 20 years of age, 5 1/2 feet tall, with brown hair, and came by himself. Therefore, it is evident that he must have met his wife, Elizabeth Geaurny of France, (or Germany or Pennsylvania -Ed) in this country, and all children would, therefore, have been born here. According to Dr. I. Lynd Esch, descendant of Nathan Gates, John Caleb Gates owned quite a large acreage of land in the extreme northern end of Cambria County, PA and he believes some of it extended over into the south end of Clearfield County, PA." this according to William S. Gates, Morgantown, West Virginia
