| 10. |  Frederick William Gates was born in Jul 1822 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada (son of Hon. Horatio Gates and Clarissa Adams); died on 30 Apr 1906 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Notes:
His death notice indicates that he was a Vice President of Canada Life, while the 1881 census lists his occupation as "President" without saying the company name. He had business interests with William Paterson McLaren which are mentioned in William's page in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography.
He was founder and first president of the Hamilton Racket Court.
Census 1891 indicates that his parents were both born in the US.
Census 1851 shows him living with Charles H Gates who is either 30 or 36 or 38 years old (hard to understand the writing) which makes Charles either the same age or older than Frederick - and also a 10 year old buy Fred W. M. Gates who can't have been Frederick's son because Rederick already had an older son Frederick. This leads me to believe that Charles is his brother, particularly as Charles is shown as a widower who was also born in Montreal.
Frederick married Mary Hannah Grasett on 10 Apr 1850 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Mary (daughter of Dr. Henry Grasett and Ann Bligh Stevenson) was born on 16 Mar 1827 in Quebec, Canada; died before 1901. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
