| Where did they come from? Many of Gates County settlers came from Virginia to escape religious persecution. In what is now Gates County, they found refuge from a tyrant who ruled the Virginia Colony. To track down where your ancestors may have come from before they settled here, try your search in the Virginia Counties. Each state will take you to the Virginian County web site through VAGenWeb. Each state surrounding the map are also clickable to that state's GenWeb site. The defunct county of Elizabeth City can be accessed through the link on the right. I added Gates County to the map to show it's relationship to the Virginia counties to the north. |
