Oh those Gaskins Women!

So this post will be about just the Gaskin lady's!  Those that were brave enough to marry into this wild and crazy family, have kids and leave behind a legacy!  Enjoy and please  look to the right and join this page so I can quit posting it on Facebook!

Elizabeth Betty Paul who was married to Ozias Gaskins is where we will start!  Her family liniage is from England.  They sailed over between 1717-1758.  I am sorry but this will be a short post because I didn't do much history on the wives until we get closer to our year.  There isn't alot of information on the lady's from back then unless they did something outragious!  Some of them you can't find anything on not even a last name.  Oh how the world has changed.

Then there was Hansalona ?. I don't have a last name for her.  See what I mean.  I do though have a photo.  Thank you Grandpa...



Hansilona ?
 



So that leaves me with the lady that we all know Lela Mea Purifoy.  She was born to Leonard Oscar Purifoy and Ida J. Rowe, but we will get more into that at another time!

 

Wanna see Lela?  Yep she was pretty.....She had 5 kids total.  Belma and William lived with her

 parents at one time or another.  That is what the census for that year states and well I am not one to doubt what was written before I was born.  After she moved to Texas with her husband it shows that she once again has all of her kids.  She later got a job at Sears I believe.  I also have a photo of her at work and one with her husband Paul.
