  • Notes 
    • 1850 Census, Allegheny Co, New York (town of Belfast), enumerated on Nov 6 1850:
      Edwend W. Gaston, 41, farmer; Philendia, 42; William G, 15; Allston, 12; Ephraim, 10; Arthur, 7; Eunice, 4. All born in New York.
      (Note: In the next household were Edmund's parents, Ebenezer and Hannah.)

      1860 Census, Crawford Co, Pennsylvania (Sadsbury Township):
      Edmon W. Gaston, 50, farmer; Filinda, 51; Athelston, 22, farm laborer; Arther, 16; Eunice, 14; Francis, 7; Ebenner, 78, mason. All born in New York except Ebenezer, born in Massachusetts.

      1870 Census, Crawford Co, Pa (East Fallowfield Twp), enumerated on Jun 7 1870:
      Edward Gaston, 60, b. NY, carpenter; Filinda, 62, b. NY; Grover, 35, b. NY, farmer; Frances, 34, b. NY; Glenmar, 11, b. Pa; Archie, 1, b. Pa; Samuel Davis, 28, b. Pa, sawmill worker.

      The parents of Edmund Gaston's wife Phylinda (the spelling on her headstone) are not known to us. Based on entries in a family Bible, it is likely that she had a twin sister Lucinda who married a certain W. Stewart. There is also speculation that Phylinda may be related to the following Bristol families:

      1850 Census, Columbia Co, New York (town of Canaan), enumerated on Aug 22 1850:
      Miles Bristol, 55, farmer; John Bristol, 83; Henry Bristol, 7 months; Emily Davis, 30; Michel Conelly, 42, no occupation, unable to read or write; Jere Bristol, 35, farmer; Ellen Bristol, 32; Benj Bristol, 8; Geo Bristol, 5; Jane Bristol, 3. All born in New York except Michel Conelly, born in Ireland. (Note: Relationships not given. Household members are listed here in the same sequence as on the census form.)
      1860 Census, Columbia Co, New York (town of Canaan), enumerated on Jun 11 1860:
      Miles Bristol, 68, farmer; Emily Bristol, 42; Henry Bristol, 10; Rodena Bristol, 6. All born in New York.
      1870 Census, Erie Co, New York (town of Concord), enumerated on Aug 2 1870:
      Byron Bristol, 31, painter; Julia Bristol, 31; Frank Bristol, 2; Lucinda Bristol, 66. All born in New York. Relationships not given.
      1880 Census, Erie Co, New York (town of Springville), enumerated on Jun 10 1880:
      Byron Bristol, 38, painter; wife Mrs. Julia E. Bristol, 38; son Frank E. Bristol, 10; mother Mrs. Lucinda Bristol, 75, widowed; boarder John Manns, 34, moulder, single. All born in New York.
      1892 State Census of New York, Erie County, town of Concord, enumerated in Feb 1892:
      Byron E. Bristol, 52; Julia E. Bristol, 52; Frank E. Bristol, 24, painter. (Note: Lucinda was not present, so she presumably had died sometime since 1880.)

      If any reader of this genealogy can offer a clue with regard to Phylinda Bristol's parents, please contact us.
