    Notes 
    • 1850 Census, Doddridge Co, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumerated on July 16 1850:
      Thomas Gaiteral, 46, blacksmith; Catharine, 47; Elizabeth, 26; Sarah, 24; Evan, 22; John, 14; Stephen, 17; Eliza, 12; Cassy, 9; Ducket, 7; William, 4; Harriett, 7; John, 5 months; Nimrod Dent, 24, miller, value of real estate $1000.
      (NOTE: The order in which the household members were listed was as indicated above. Relationships not stated. All born in Virginia except for Thomas, born in Pennsylvania.)

      1860 Census, Doddridge Co, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumerated on July 23 1860:
      Holdridge Sayre, 26, constable, value of real estate (blank), value of personal estate $200; Catherine Gatrell, 55, unable to read & write; Cassandra Gatrell, 19; Ducket Gatrell, 17; William Gatrell, 15; Ottmar A. Gatrell, 4.
      (NOTE: This census entry raises several questions. Had Thomas Gatrell died between 1850 and 1860? We've found no record of his death. What was the relationship between Holdridge Sayre and the Gatrell family? What was Cassandra Gatrell's marital status? She had married William W. Lewis in 1858, but she appears here as though single, and he appears in the same census with a different wife. Who was Ottmar Gatrell? It is believed that he was a son of Cassandra Gatrell and Solomon Poe. Cassandra was not found in the 1870 Census. The last record of her was in the 1880 Census, when she was listed as a patient at the Weston Insane Asylum in Lewis County.)

      Two of Thomas and Catharine Gatrell's daughters were in a separate houshold in 1860:
      1860 Census, Doddridge Co, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumerated on Jul 9 1860:
