Notes - When John Morris Gaston and Elizabeth Hart were buried in the family cemetery in 1927 and 1921, respectively, no permanent marker was put in place. In the Spring of 2002, through the actions of their grandson Samuel David Gaston, surviving principal family members purchased a permanent stone marker for this couple's grave, as well as one for the unmarked grave of their grandchildren, twins William and Lillian Gaston, stillborn in 1923.
