Where did I leave off on the Gaskins?

Ah yes I remember....

Thomas Gaskins.  As you can tell by reading yesterdays post, he is a little harder to do.  Put that on top of the fact that there isn't anyone I can go to for questions besides my grandpa, so......

What I do know is that Thomas was born in Virgina but died in North Carolina.  It is believed to be that he was married to Hannah Bright but I also have down that he may have married a Hannah Hull first.  Now when I looked at it more I see that if it was so that he had in fact married both then they were married at the same time :/?  I say that because the kids were intermingled with the dates they were born.  I will put it all down for now but I may change it later when I find out for sure!

Hannah Hull was first...
      Sarah Eustance  1782-1824

Hannah Ann Bright
      Harman  1750-1826
      Elizabeth  1755-1833
      Thomas  1755-1790
      Alice  Peachy  1774-1860
      David  1778-1866
      Fisher  1780-1848
      Levi  1788-1844
     
See what I am talking about?  It is weird but hey maybe he cheated and never married Hannah Hull.  I guess we will have to wait and see!

So Levi is our ancestry and he married Mary Warren in 1806 and they only had two kids that I see.

      Needham  1820-1855
      Maryann   1822-1864

They lived in North Carolina for their whole lives.

Now Needham Married Alice Stapleford and they had one child named Ozias which was born in 1848 and died in 1890 at the age of only 42.

In his short life he did marry of course.  Her name was Elizabeth Betty Paul.  They were married in her father's house William Timothy Paul.  They had several kids....

      Eli Graham  1876-1957
      Emer B  1879-1916
      Elvira Jane  1879-1974
      William Lubbie  1881-1965
      Alice B 1872-1976
      Annie  1884-1978
      Julia  1886-1968
      Unity  1888-1980

Other than the fact that they lived in the same town fairly close to one another there isn't much there yet, but I just started this about a year ago.

Eli Graham Gaskins my grandpa Hubert remembers.   He married Hansilona and they had Six kids!

   
I have a photo of Hansilona also but I want to show you when I do the wives!
 
So six kids wow!   
 
      Lora  1901-
      Lloyd  1905-
      Vera  1906-
      Paul  1913-
      Cecil  1916-
      Elvin  1920-
 
Now we are getting to the fun part!  Paul is my great-Grandpa! 
 
 
 He married Lela Purifoy.  They together had 3 boys; but Paul raised 2 of Lela's from before they were married Belma Rhea 1928-2000 and William (I will have to get that date for you)!
      Hubert Earl  1933- Living
      Cleo  1938- (get back with ya)
      Darrel (Gene)  1946-1997 (He used to chase us around the pool trying to suck our Eyeballs out!)
Ok So that brings us up to speed on the Gaskins!  You can take it where you want from here!  I will still be posting stories and photo's as I get them.  I will also still be putting up memroabillia and such!
