Subject: GOLDRUSH MOST WANTED: GELATT

Looking for info on ancestor named R. GELATT who ran a livery in Genoa, NV and stage line between Genoa and Silver Mountain City and Markleeville, CA. I think he was born in Gelatt, PA, married Amanda BARTLETT in Carson, NV. According to several Gazetteers and USGS maps there is or was a area in the Donner Pass area named GELATT and I wonder if he or other GELATTS settled in that area. He is listed in the 1875 NV State Census and his wife is listed as living to 90+ and dying in Santa Clara County. Any info on any GELATT ancestors will be greatly appreciated.
