Gaston, farmer. Mother: Annie L. Informant: Father. (NOTE: The existence and misinterpretation of these multiple entries has resulted in the one birth being incorrectly reported by genealogists as the birth of twins having similar names. While her name appears in her marriage record as Alpha Louise Gaston, she is identified in her daughter's marriage record as Alpharetta Gaston.) www.doddridgecountyroots.com Name Index
