Here is my deadend for the month. Any help will be appreciated! I am trying to learn more about the Gaston family in Randolph County. History states that Alexander Gaston was in the county by 1815, and he had a son named Alexander. The 1810 Census shows a J. Gastion, and the 1820 Census shows households for James, Margaretta, Stephen, and William Gaston. My search for information is based on my need to learn the parents of Peggy (Gaston) Pillars, Ann (Gaston) Hindman, and Mary (Gaston) Crain, three sisters who after some time in Kentucky were mothers in three early Randolph County families. One researcher indicated that they were the daughters of Samuel and Nancy (Crawford) Gaston, but I find no record to help prove this. Instead, I am wondering if they are the youngest daughters of James and Margaret (Harvey) Gaston--the James of the 1820 Census. James Gaston was born in 1740 to John and Esther (Waugh) Gaston, and died in 1840 in Randolph County. James had at least two children, Robert (1776-1817) and Stephen (1774-1837). Does anyone know the rest of his children's names? Or any more information about this Gaston family? Another clue that leads me in this direction is that the three Gaston sisters had sons whom they named James Harvey. All the Gastons in Illinois (there are Gastons in Marion County, Bond County, and Jefferson County at the same time) seem to descend from the same Irish South Carolina family. It's just establishing the connections that is difficult. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! --Angie Macri-Hanson --part1_18c.664d633.29e9e8ed_boundary--
