Ok, this is what i know:
Jesse Gaskins and Susanna Unknown married sometime before 1785. There is a document i got off geneology.com that shows the birth record of their (first?) daughter, Molley Gaskins, born in 1785.
Jesse and Susanna had Nancy in 1791, Chloe in 1798, and a son in 1802 (name unknown - he was spoken of as being 'of unsound mind' in Jesse's pension application.)
Nancy married Thomas Wetzel Ashby in 1812. I have no idea what happened to Molley, unfortunately. I don't think she was with the family when they moved to Monongalia County, so i think she either married herself, or passed away at a very young age.
Chloe had James Madison in 1814, when she was about 16. She had Job S. in 1816. She had John Albert in 1826, and Andrew Jackson in 1834. Not sure why so much time passed between some of the sons. Could be that others were born, but did not survive.
My relative in West Virginia who has been my main source of information suspects that the Mr. Johnson who fathered Andrew Jackson, did not father the other sons as well. But I have no idea who their father(s) could be.
