Corrections to the previous posting:
There is a Fayette County probate document (Orphan's Court MAR 1869)for the estate of Sarah Gaskill, widow of Samuel Gaskill. It disposes of property Samuel bought in Freeport, as Cookstown (now Fayette City) was known previously.She is the Sarah Gaskill that is in the 1850, 1860 census in Cookstown, but not the wife of Abraham as attributed in Koleda. The probate lists Eleanor Carr Hussey, WilliamGaskill, estate of Davenport Gaskill, John Gaskill, and James E. Gaskill as children and heirs. Samuel D. Gaskill died without marrying and issue between his father's and mother's deaths.
Date of death for Samuel Gaskill, husband of Sarah, is given as 12 SEP 1856 in the court document, but she is listed as a widow in local tax records from 1851 on.
