Edward Gatton - Hamilton Co., IL
Does anyone know who the Edward Gattin is who appears in Hamilton Co., IL as early as 1830 census? He's still alive in 1850, age 54 b. NC (1796). No wife by 1850, but a son Edward 14 b. IL and dau Celia 18 b. IL.
In 1830 he is 30-40 with wife, 1 son and 5 dau. There is a Sarah Gattin living nearby also - age 40-50 with 1 dau 20-30 who has a male un 5.
I'm just trying to identify the NC Gatton lines who desc. from Azariah Gatton.
Thanks for any clues on this Edward.
