  • 1 : "I gather he's a good boy" correct?
  • 2 : "We all are descendants of Adam" correct?
  • The first two are correct.
  • The last one is not really incorrect, but I might say Your dad is calling you from on the roof or Your dad is calling you from the roof.

1 and 2 would be correct grammatically.
3 is rather open. Where is dad? is he on the roof? where are "you"? maybe it is "you" who is on the roof. Is dad just calling out, or is he calling you to get up on the roof too?
