Event Notes Note (1) But headstone gives birth date as 1863. Note (2) Linder's "Gibson and Related Families," p. 108, states marriage date as Oct 20 1883, but "Harrison County Marriages" reports Oct 25 1883. Note (3) Headstone shows birth date as 1862. Note (4) Penny Linder, in "The Gibson and Related Families" (p. 108), identifies Nannie May Gaston as "D. Mae Gaston," born on the same date in Doddridge Co, WV. A birth record does exist for her in both counties (see footnote). Based on locations of other events in her family, Harrison County would be considered more likely, but her obituary states that she was born in Doddridge County. The obituary identifies her as "N. May Gaston," while the Social Security Death Index lists her simply as "May Gaston."Name Index
