Mystery Man of Pulaski
Somewhere in the bible it says "By the deeds ye shall know them" but of Sewell T Gates all that we know are the papers found in the top story of a barn at
Landmarks of Oswego County published by D Mason and Co, Syracuse, NY states that Sewell T, one of the war supervisors of the town (Richland) was born in Herkimer Co in 1815- moved to Richland in 1820, settled in Pulaski in 1861 and died there August 21 1894. (pp 690 & 685)
In a brief explanation of these papers you learn that he was a very busy lawyer practicing in the village of Pulaski for many years, why then was there no obituary in the Pulaski Democrat, why was he not mentioned in the article "Lawyers of the town of Richland" on page 212 in the History of Oswego Co 1789-1877?
There is no phase of law in which he did not participate. He settled estates, made out deeds, land contracts, bonds, releases, notes, mortgages, soldiers affairs, railroad affairs, etc. Among the estates that he settled were: Seymour Moody, John Jones, Lucy Jones, Heil Richards and many more. Receipts were carefully recorded. I would think that he was very honest. Deeds in those papers dated from 1828 to the time of his death. I trust that the papers will be historically imported (sic), and that more will be learned about Mr. Gates.

So, if we go by his death record he would have been born 3-15-1834, not 3-5.
Name appears in father's will as Murrow. In census it is listed as Merles. Have seen Merrill, Meril, Merril, all as his name.

1855 Census lists him in home of Calvin and Dorothy Smith as adopted child. After speaking to Bonnie Shumway Mexico Historian , we believe after his mother's death, he may have been raised by Calvin and Dorothy, or he may have only moved there as a farm hand at age 18, in 1855. Either way we believe him to be the right Elisha as he is the only Elisha Gates in

Death of Elisha W. Gates
Our community was greatly shocked last Thursday afternoon to learn of the sudden death of one of our esteemed citizens, Mr. Elisha W. Gates. He had not been able to be about town for some time but had seemed in usual health. He had eaten dinner and his wife was helping him away from the table, as was her custom, when he became helpless and soon passed away. His funeral was held from his late home, at 2pm Saturday, Rev. D.L.Roberts, his pastor officiating. His widow has the sympathy of many friends in her bereavement.
Mr. Gates was a member of the Presbyterian Church and had served very acceptably as a member of the board of trustees. He and Mrs. Gates formerly resided at Prattham, coming here to live when failing health obliged him to leave the farm which for so many years had been their home and where their friends were always welcome. To give pleasure, to do kind and neighborly deeds, to be true to their friends was a creed they fully lived up to, and these acts of kindness linger in the minds of friends as a pleasant memory. An estimable citizen, a kind husband and true friend, he has gone to his reward.

This good pair delighted in doing kind acts and many were the homes into which they went in times of trouble or sickness, giving of their time and strength in an unstinted way. Aunt Jane could play the melodeon and both were good singers. Is it any wonder they were actively engaged in the well being of the little church?
Aunt Jane had a great love for children that drew them to her. Perhaps the loss of their only child a little girl, brought this part of her nature out the stronger. Many men and women remember her influence exerted in their childhood and trace many an impulse toward good to that association.

This treatise, under the title "Surrogates Courts" originally published in two volumes has run now into several editions and is complete in seven volumes. It is considered the most accurate and reliable of all publications on the subject by surrogates throughout the state and may be found on the shelves of most attorneys who practice in such courts.
As a surrogate he won the confidence, respect and even, love of all with whom he came in contact because of his kindly, fatherly disposition. He always was ready to lend his ear to the questions of those who sought service in his court and always ready with advice to all.
He was considered one of the most efficient and careful surrogates ever to hold the office in the county and very few reversals of this decisions ever were returned by the higher courts during his 12 years of tenure of office.
First Association Head
Judge Heaton became the first president of the Surrogates Association which he helped form. He was appointed by the legislature to draft a new Surrogate code in connection with the committee from the association. This code was enacted into law in 1914 and re-enacted in 1921 when important changes in legal practice were made.

He was a traveling salesman, who apparently did very well. Oliver spoke of his father coming home with money falling out of his pockets, but never leaving any for the family... It wasn't long after "A.C." left that Russell went into the service, and "Pete" (Oliver) quit school to help raise money for the family.
Asa(A.C.) was not well known by Russell or Oliver. What we do know is that Myrtle would not let him see the kids when he came home from traveling, because, he would only come home to have laundry done and get a meal... He never gave Myrtle a dime to help raise the boys. This caused a lot of tension within the family.
After leaving Myrtle, he lived in
