I am 42 yrs old, my father is John (born Jack) Wadsworth Gatewood, his mother was Margaret Wadsworth (maiden name) and as long as I have been alive I have known Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was in our family line, but I haven't been able to trace back as to how Margaret Wadsworth, my grandmother, was exactly related. She married my grandfather E. Howard Gatewood. If anyone can help trace between the poet and Margaret, I would appreciate the help. Thank you!
Yes, thank you! I just got the name of my grandmother's father, John Thaddeus Wadsworth (he married Katherine Taliferro) John was from New England, not sure exactly where. I know my grandmother spent some childhood years in both Maine and Bridgeport Connecticut. John got a Master's degree from Syracuse University I believe. John Thaddeus Wadsworth John Thaddeus Wadsworth Any further information would be greatly appreciate by our family. Thanks again.

This tree looks accurate so far

If I were you I would go ahead and add the parents based on it, referring to the tree as your source data. Please set the profiles to "public" - it's the radio button, upper right hand corner, profile view, edit basics tab.
Oh wow thank you so much! I have some research to do... adding my father to the discussion today. I really appreciate your help Erica Howton !!
