• John Gates's 'father was a man of standing in Essex, an associate of the 13th Earl of Oxford and a regular attendant at court and upon the King until his death. He may have died too early to secure his son a place in the royal household', and it was probably to the King's favourite Anthony Denny, whose sister he married, that Gates owed his early advancement. ....
• 'His sister Dorothy (b. 1512 - d. BEF 11 Feb 1582) had married in 1524 Thomas Josselyn of Hide Hall, Hertfordshire (b. 1506 - d. 24 Oct 1562). Dorothy Josselyn was at court in the household of Queen Catherine Howard in 1540-2 and surviving correspondence with her brother, Sir John Gates, indicates that the Queen was not that easy to get along with. “I fear I shall scant content her Grace”, Dorothy wrote on one occasion. Dorothy was probably "a supplier of dresses” to Queen Catherine Parr. Dorothy regularly wrote letters asking for favors from Sir John. In 1542, she needed his help when her husband was implicated in a case of forgery. She made her will in 1579 but lived for several more years.
