Hi Philip4 On Ancestry, I did find "proof" of a Thomas Gaskins, who died same date as you mentioned Sr did. This is from Pennsylania Pension Records, compiled in 1835 Information: county unknown Name: Thomas Gaskins Rank: Lieutenant Annual Allowance: 160 00 Sums Received: 3760 44 Description of service: - When placed on the pension roll: - Commencement of pension: March 4, 1789 Laws under which inscribed, increased or reduced OR Remarks.: June 7, 1785. Died July 2, 1790. In the Revolutionary War Index, with pensions given prior to 1813, he is again listed _Revolutionary War Pension Index_ (http://www.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=4691&enc=1) about Thomas Gaskins Name: Thomas Gaskins State: Pennsylvania Number: 77 Rank: lieutenant Stipend: 160 In a message dated 23/12/2008 10:31:09 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, philip4@comcast.net writes: HI, I have a snag with the Gaskin Gasgoyne Line that settled early in Northumberland Co. Thomas Gaskins, Jr, Lt, Capt, born 1749 in Northumberland Co, and died 10 Feb 1813 married an Elizabeth McClennehan. Her last name could be spelled several ways. She was b abt 1758 and d.? but both are buried in Point Twp, Northumberland, PA. I am yet looking for Thomas's father and looking for proof of a Thomas Gaskins abt 1723- 2 Jul 1790 buried in Washington Twp, Dauphin Co. That is a northern Twp near Northumberland border. So anything about Gaskins of that time would help. And especially the McClennehan and her parents. It is possible she iimmigrated or her parents from Ireland. I have worked through the Gaskins of Northumberland VA and there are gaps / blanks that leave room for Thomas Gaskins 1723 to be a son, but no one in those lines claim any Thomas moving north. Another line of Gaskins that may be connected living in Schuylkill near Northumberland border is Samuel B 1809 d 18 Sep 1863, Looking for his father so a Gaskin about 1775 in Donaldson< Frailey Twp Schuylkill Co, would be helpful. Thanks for any help.

Thanks again for the data as it reinforced the DAR I had and also led me to a James McClennehan which I had seen before but didn't associate an Agnes with an Ellizabeth. The families lived in Mahoning Twp. Montour Co now and McClennehan fought with Gaskins so sure would make sense these are the same families. The family called Agnes Elizabeth and thus I have not come up with any info on linkages since they used Agnes in trees and other sources on line. I share this as others may be helped by checking all usage forms of names and also some McClennehans may wish to know the Gaskins line which I have.
