Hi all, can I say thank you to all who have replied to my request. I have the marriage certificate of William Alexander Gatewood and his father is down as William Gatewood, deceased and Cotton manufacturer. So I find it really interesting to see that Ohio Susan as found a reference in a paper about a W. C. Gatewood in the Daily True Delta newspaper as it claims he was instrumental in the establishment of the first cotton press built in that city. The 1860 census does not give an occupation for W. C. Gatewood and the 1850 one sais he was a marchant?
