Talk:William E. Gates

How can Horatio Gates be William E. Gates' grandfather?
How is it possible that General Horatio Gates is the grandfather of this man, when his father William was born in 1833 while Horatio Gates (the general in the American Revolutionary War to whose site the name is linked) died in 1806? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:810C:400:3690:C3C:8AB5:8C7:4240 (talk) 21:34, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
