Transcription and notes

• Source: Your Ancestors, A National Magazine of Genealogy and Family History — Vol. 2, No. 7 (Jul 1948), a Gaston-family article. Accessed via Ancestry's "U.S., Family History Books" database (digitized book page; maintainer screenshot 2026-06-19).

• Provenance: Pulled to resolve Gracey Gaston (p.696) — L.4's child #1 of Robert × Rosanna whom Hanna (I.164) omitted. This source has her.

• Verbatim (book page):

  HUGH³ Gaston, son of Joseph and Isabel, b. Jan. 18, 1764; m. Mar. 14, 1789, Grace Gaston, dau. of Robert and Rosanna (Cooper), b. Nov. 20, 1764; d. Mar. 14, 1838. Rem. to Lycoming Co., Pa., thence to Ohio. Ch: Joseph b. Dec. 24, 1789; James b. Jan. 20, 1793, m. Elizabeth Kilgore; Robert b. Feb. 23, 1794, d. June 4, 1801; Elizabeth b. Sept. 7, 1797, d. Jan. 14, 1816; Hugh b. Apr. 9, 1804, d. Mar. 27, 1854 (Had Hamilton, Martha, Elizabeth & Mary).

(Ancestry's index panel additionally gives Grace's death as 24 Jun 1839, Columbiana County, Ohio — vs the book's "d. Mar. 14, 1838"; discrepancy noted.)

• ** Catalog significance: 1. Confirms Gracey Gaston (p.696) as a real daughter of Robert × Rosanna — explicitly "Grace Gaston, dau. of Robert and Rosanna (Cooper)." Combined with L.4 + the M.45 SAR, her existence is now certain despite Hanna's omission. 2. Confirms the SAR's "Gracey married a Hugh Gaston" — husband = Hugh Gaston, son of Joseph & Isabel Gaston (a Gaston-cousin marriage). The M.45 applicant Hugh Philander Gaston descends from this couple. 3. Explains Hanna's omission: Gracey's line went to Columbiana Co., OHIO (via Lycoming Co., PA) — outside Hanna's Ohio-Valley scope. 4. Birth 20 Nov 1764 ≈ L.4's 19 Nov 1764** (1-day diff — confirms the L.4 reading). 5. Adds 5 grandchildren of Rosanna via Gracey: Joseph (1789), James (1793, m. Elizabeth Kilgore), Robert (1794–1801), Elizabeth (1797–1816), Hugh (1804–1854).
