1830 Tennessee Census

Could this Wm Gates be the father? And could the Valentine Gates in Sumner County be one of the elder boys? Christina A. did say her husband was born and reared in Smith County. But if so and Wm. Gates is the 40-50 year old listed, he couldn't have emigrated to TN in 1755 as she said; he wasn't born until the 1780's.
