Thanks Edward, It will take a little while to compare what I have. I have the information about Laura being adopted and her parents . I have that she had two step mothers . 1. Martha Ann ( surname ? ) ( 1st wife of John Axson) 2. Mary Ann Gibbs ( 2nd wife of John Axson ) Sometimes , I get things mixed up when reading charts. So will you look at this and see if I did it correctly. Fisher Gadsden , son of Phillip Gadsden b. 1761 & Catherine Edwards Phillip Gadsden , son of Christopher O. ( Gen ) Gadsden & Jane Godfrey Christopher O. , son of Thomas Gadsden & Elizabeth ?* Thomas Gadsden , son of Thomas Gadsden. * I have the following notes in my file the following : Thomas Gadsden , Esq., with Mrs Gadsden ( a daughter of Admiral Gascoign, whom he married in England ), Mr John Huger, and Mr Paul Mazyck, are arrived here from London in the ship Constant - Friend , Capt. Alcock. Monday Dec 15, 1766 Do you think this is the right Thomas Gadsden for these notes
