I have a large family of Gates descended from him.

I'm not in the Gates family, but you're welcome to see my tree, there are a lot of Sussex people in it. Click on the house icon by my name and send me an email through the site and I'll send you the password. We may have other names in common.
There is a William Gates baptised at Ripe 23 Apr 1754, son of Thomas and Ann, but no birth date given. This doesn't mean it isn't him, but makes any other proof important.
