Surnames: Palmer, Gaston Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Ic.2ADI/445.557.561 Message Board Post: I would appreciate receiving info re Amasa Palmer's ancestors: John? Ellis? Who comes after that? I believe Anna Gaston's parents were Matthew Gaston and Ann Simonton/Symington. Matthew was supposedly born in County Antrim, Ireland. His parents were Dr. Alexander Gaston and Margaret Sharpe. Rumor has it that the Gastons were somehow related to the French royal family and I am trying to find out more about that.
