Al, You are correct, Arthur Gladstone and Susannah Hitt had several children and you may be correct in that I may not be the best person to ask. I have not reviewed "Daisey's GEDCOM Database", therefore I cannot comment on the data that is given there. However, the following is from my data base: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- 1. Arthur GLADSTONE[1] and his family were living in Fauquier County when the 1810 Federal Census was taken. He was married to Susannah "Susan" HITT (daughter of John HITT and Mary ????) on 20 Dec 1786 in Fauquier County, Virginia.[2] Marriage Bond was dated 18 December 1786. Joseph Russell was Bondsman for the marriage of Arthur and Susanna.[3] Susannah "Susan" HITT was born about 1766. Arthur GLADSTONE and Susannah "Susan" HITT had the following children: +2 i. Presley GLADSTONE b. ?; m. Fanny Allison on 23 Dec 1817 in Fauquier County, Virginia. +3 ii. Hannah Hitt GLADSTONE. +4 iii. Susannah GLADSTONE. +5 iv. Patsey GLADSTONE. +6 v. Mahalia GLADSTONE. +7 vi. Ansylany GLADSTONE. SOURCES [1] Ruby Cox Eddleman; copyright 1983.
