Event Notes Note (1) WILL: Mar-1-1809 William Gaston of Bedminster, Somerset Co, NJ. Int. inventory $464.97; made by William McEowen & Christian Eoff. Lists girting, parcel of livery lace, brass buckles for chair harness, 15 saddle trees, etc. Notes against Thomas Bangham, Jr & "an order" from David Melick. Sworn to by Naomi Gaston, Adm'x. Apr-22-1810 (File 1423 R) Note (2) "Ohio Valley Genealogies," p. 46, reports death date as March 1820. But 1860 has been reported elsewhere, and he does appear in the 1850 and 1860 censuses. He is not found in the 1870 or later census. The March 1820 date cited by Hanna is presumed to be a marriage date. Note (3) "Ohio Valley Genealogies," p. 46, reports death date as Jan 21 1823, the same date he reports for Oliver's brother Abraham. But Oliver's headstone shows date as Jun 10 1821.
