Hi All, I hope someone can help me unravel this mystery. In my database I have an Ezra Gaston, son of John R. Gaston and Sarah T. Conklin (She married Edward S. Turner after the death of John R. Gaston in the Civil War.) In the 1900 Census for Damascus Township, his mother is shows as Sarah T. Gaston. I have assumed that the census taker made the assumption that her last name was Gaston instead of Turner. Or did she marry another Gaston after the death of Edward Turner? I don't have a death date for Edward Turner. In the 1910 Census there is a Jane E. Potter living in the household of Ezra Gaston. The relationship of Jane E. Potter to Ezra says mother. Now if in 1900 his mother was Sarah T. How could his mother also be Jane E. in 1910? Ezra's wife was Jennie Slater, whose parents from the 1880 census were Samuel and Mary (not Jane E., so the 1910 Census entry can't have been meant to be mother-in-law either). I hope there is a Gaston researcher or another Potter researcher who can help me unravel this mystery. Thanks in advance. Carol Potter Meadows
