(Note: Joseph's birthplace has been incorrectly reported elsewhere as New Jersey. The seven children listed by Hanna, p. 44, for Joseph Gaston & Elizabeth Conkle include a son Watson and a daughter Elizabeth, but not a daughter Catherine. It is not clear whether or not Elizabeth and Catherine refer to the same child. Similarly,is unclear whether Mariah is Joseph's second wife or another name for his wife Elizabeth.)
