(12) Peter J. Topoly & Jane Carson Topoly, 10015 Mike Road, Fort Washington, MD 20744-2535, citing highly reliable original sources. But Hanna, "Ohio Valley Genealogies," p. 43, gives death as 1870. (13) Headstone - Date calculated from age at death. Event Notes Note (1) Birth date reported in "Ohio Valley Genealogies," p. 43, as 1802. But age 54 in 1850 Census puts it in about 1796. Note (2) Birth date given in "Ohio Valley Genealogies," p. 43, as 1805. But age 52 in 1850 Census puts it in about 1798. Note (3) Birth date reported in "Ohio Valley Genealogies," p. 43, as 1808. But age 45 in 1850 Census and age 55 in 1860 Census puts it at about 1805. Note (4) Hanna, p. 43, gives William Gaston's birth/death dates as 1807-1880, but headstone states "died Jan 16 1884 in his 77th year." Note (5) Birth date reported in "Ohio Valley Genealogies," p. 43, as 1810, but age 42 in 1850 puts it in about 1808. Note (6) Headstone inscription reads "Samuel, son of Samuel Gaston Sen., died Sept 13 1841, in the 25 year of his age." Hanna, p. 43, incorrectly gives birth/death dates as 1814 - 1839. The death date on the headstone clearly reads Sept 13 1841, and the age 25, though not as clear, cannot be anything else.
