Notes:

In the 1870 Clay Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio Census he is listed at age 32 making his birth date as 1838 instead of 1840 as listed in earlier census records. In 1874 he might be the D. Danner living Section 18 of Perry Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio (CL-383, 590)

Family/Spouse: Sarah Jane BENNET. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Jacob purchased 40 acres on Oct. 3, 1828 in Gallia Co., Ohio in Twp. 6, Range 16, section 33. This was a few months after he had married a very young bride in her teens. He was still likely the J. Danner on this land in the 1874 Gallia Co., Ohio Atlas. (CL-449, 590)

In the 1830 census, they have one daughter under age ten. This is an unknown daughter to me at this time, as she was not listed by name in the 1850 census -- and has either died or married at that point. In the 1850 census for Gallia Co., there is a Jacob and Sarah Danner. In the 1850 census, Jacob was 45, a farmer, born in Pennsylvania. His wife, Sarah, age 33, was born in Virginia. Their children were all born in Ohio. After Solomon, age 20, and Mary, age 18, the next child was Jacob, age 10. (CL-303) In the 1860 census, his real estate was worth $1300.00 and his personal property, $150.00. (CL-304) By 1870 it had changed in value to $1200.00 and $200.00. In that census it states that only daughter Sarah in their household could read and write. (CL-305, 383)

There are two Danners living in Gallia Co. of a correct age to be Jacob's father. A Jonathan Danner who lived in Perry Twp, Gallia Co., Ohio in the 1820 census, had many children, two the appropriate age to be our Jacob, and was himself over 45 years of age. If this is Jacob's father, it appears that his wife had died by the 1820 census due to the fact that the oldest female in the home was under age 26. One of his probable sons was named Solomon and lived next to him in the 1830 census in Perry Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio. Jonathan was between 60 and 70 years of age. I suspect that Jonathan was the father of both our Jacob and the above Solomon. The other possible father for Jacob is a Michael Danner who was living in Perry Twp. in Gallia Co., Ohio by the 1830 census who was between age 50 and 60. He had actually made his first land purchase there in 1827. There was a son age 10-14, one between 15 and 19 and one age 20-29. He also had one daughter age 15-19 and one 20-29. A son Jacob's age is not amongst them as he would have moved out by 1830.

This Michael or one of his sons might be the Michael who married Sally Vance on 12/1/1825 and Elizabeth Napier on 10/1/1835. He or son Michael purchased land in 1827, 1838, and 1840 in Twp. 5. Because the name Michael was not given to any of Jacob's sons, I consider Michael much less likely to be the father of Jacob at this point in time. (CL-446)

There are multiple Danners of similar age to Jacob in Gallia Co. that are likely siblings or cousins. Solomon bought land in Gallia Co., Ohio on Nov. 4, 1825 in Twp. 5, Sec. 3, Rat. 16. This Solomon married Polly Koons on 1-25-1827 and that left a will in 1851 in JWBE, p. 450, Gallia Co., Ohio. (CL-360) A David Danner bought land in 1832 and 1838, part of it adjoining Jacob's land. David was born about 1804 in Pennsylvania according to the 1870 Perry Twp, Gallia Co., Ohio records. He was living next to a Solomon Danner, b. 1840 in Ohio. (CL-383) He married Sally A. Bayles on 10-19-1838. He left administration papers in 1877 in C/D p. 25 and 56 and is buried in old Bethel Church Cemetery in Walnut Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio next to his son Sylvester D. Danner. (CL-360, 445) A George W. Danner bought land in 1832 and 1836. This George W. married Elizabeth Norman on 1-25-1831. Betsy Danner married Henry Rickabuagh on 4-28-1829. (CL-359) There is also a Jonathan Danner buried in Ross County, Ohio by himself. (CL-445)

Jacob married Sarah A. GASKIN on 1 May 1828 in , Gallia, OH, USA. Sarah (daughter of Bartholomew Adams GASKINS, * and Rachel Ward\Woods DONATHAN) was born about 1815 in BEDFORD CO., VA; died on 20 Sep 1887 in Gallia, Ohio, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Since Sarah married Jacob at a very young age in Gallia Co, Ohio, her family would also have lived in Gallia Co., Ohio at the time. In the 1820 census, there is only one family that had a daughter her age. This Baten/Bartholomew Gaskins lived in Raccoon Twp, and had 2 sons under 10, 2 under 16, 2 under 26, with 1 daughter of five and under ten (likely Sarah), 1 under 16, 1 between 26 and 45. He and his wife were above age 45. Their marriage date is in Gallia Co., records and her age is calculated from her age in the Federal Census records for Gallia Co., Ohio. If the census records are correct, she was at most age 12 when they married. His actual names from other records was Bartholomew Adam Gaskins. Sarah and her husband named a son after him, Bartholomew Adam Danner. There is another younger Sarah A. Gaskins, b. in 1837 who was living with Uriah Rose and Elizabeth Gaskins Rose in the 1850 census. She is probably Elizabeth's sister and likely granddaughter of Baten Gaskins, niece to this Sarah A. by age and place. Warren Lawrence theorizes that the younger Sarah A. is a daughter of Baten's son Reuben Gaskins.(C-513)

I have corresponded with a Gaskin in Western Australia. Her ancestors went to Australia in 1874 from England. She believes the name originated in France. (CL-309) Another correspondent with Gaskins in his ancestry states the Gaskins he has were from England and before that from Ireland. (CL-423)

Notes:

Jonathan Danner and Elizabeth grew up in York Co., PA and lived in Hanover which is 18 miles sw of York which is in York Co., PA in 1800. By profession at that point, he made cigars and sold them for one copper penny apiece. (CL-514E) In the 1800 York Co., PA census, he and his wife were between the ages of 26 and 45. They had a son and daughter under the age of 10 at that point in time. This doesn't quite fit with their actual children, from Gallia Co. census records, it is likely that they have 2 sons and 2 daughters by that point in time -- unless the older ones were living with a relative at that time. There also would have been a new baby in the house if we have Elizabeth's birthday correct. In any case, he is listed as John, the tobacconist on the Heidleberg Twp., York Co., tax lists from 1806-1817. (CL-514)

History of Gallia County, Perry Twp. Ohio, H.H. Hardesty & Co., Publishers, 1882 (p. XXIII): "The following were among the earliest settlers of the township: Alexander Boggs, Abraham Beaver, John Smith (1812); Robert Armstrong (1811); Elijah Carter, Jacob Prose (1811); Samuel Allison, Jacob Roadamour, Stephen Gates, John Prose, (1811); Leonard Weis, Jonathan Danner, Michael Danner, James Porter, Paul Prose (father to Jacob and John), Joshua Riley (1810); Daniel Prose, George Smith and John Campbell." (Ancestors of Ruth Lucille Bryan at Family Treemaker.com)

Jonathan Danner who lived in Perry Twp, Gallia Co., Ohio in the 1820 census, had many children, two the appropriate age to be our Jacob, and was himself over 45 years of age. It appears that his wife had died by the 1820 census due to the fact that the oldest female in the home was under age 26. One of his probable sons was named Solomon and lived next to him in the 1830 census in Perry Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio Jonathan was between 60 and 70 years of age at that time. He had 2 daughters between the ages of 15 and 19, and one between 30 and 40 plus a son between 20 and 30 living with him at the time. (CL-446)

Jonathan married Elizabeth MOYER before 1794. Elizabeth was born in 1770 in York County, Pennsylvania; died before 1820. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Gaskins is a French Huegonot name derived from the surname "Gascoigne". Bartholomew/Baten is the father of Sarah. He was the correct age and lived in the correct place, Gallia Co., Ohio, to be her father. He was the only Gaskin in the 1820 census to meet this criteria. In fact, all of the Gaskins in Gallia Co., OH appear to be his relatives as they all fit exactly into every year's census patterns for his family. There is no other female Gaskin the age of Sarah A. that could be his daughter that was from age 5 to 10 in the 1820 census, his youngest daughter by his 2nd wife. Sarah also names a son after him.

Bartholomew was married at least twice and probably 3 times, as his first likely son Rhueben was born in 1791 according to his tombstone, and Bartholomew did not marry his first known wife until 1793.

His proven children are Thomas Gaskin and John Gaskins. In the 1810 census, he lived in Bedford Co., VA. There were 3 males under age 10, 3 between 10 and 16, 1 from 16 to 26 and himself over age 45. The females in the household included 1 under age 10 and 1 between 26 and 45.

In the 1820 Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., OH census, he is listed as Baten Gaskins. There were 2 boys under age 10 (Overton and Abraham if his birthdate was forgotten when he was older), 2 boys between 10-16 (Jeremiah and Solomon), 2 boys between 16 and 26 (John and Thomas), 1 daughter under age 10 (Unknown), 1 daughter from 10-16 (Sarah A. Gaskins), 1 daughter from 26-45 (Jemima Gaskins) and he and his wife were over 45 years of age. It is likely that Rhueben and James Gaskins that were between the ages of 16 and 26 living with their own small families in Gallipolis Twp., Gallia Co. in 1820 are also Baten's sons. They were accounted for by age in Bartholomew's 1810 census.

Nearness in location of several Gaskins farms also indicates further child relationships. Rheuben's farm is adjacent to Bartholomews. (CL-365) There is also a Solomon Gaskin who bought a farm within close proximity of Bartholomew's just south of Rio Grande, OH that suggests he is also a child of Barts. Rhueben married Julia Evans on 8/24/1820. A Myma Gaskins, possible daughter of Baten, married John Deal on 1/25/1826 in Gallia Co., Ohio.

There are two Bartholomew Gaskins that show up in the 1850 Clermont Co., Ohio Census, Ohio Twp, p. 415 that should be checked to see if one could be a son of his. There is also a Rose Gaskins that dies in unknown date at age 1m in Ohio Twp., Gallia Co., OH that is likely to be an infant daughter of his by wife Nancy Rose. (CL-371, 495, 538)

He purchased 100 acres in Gallia Co., Ohio on Jul 17, 1818 from David Boggs. It was located about 1/2 mile south of Rio Grande on the east side, NW 1/4 sec. 34 T6 R16. (Book 9, p. 103) He was taxed for 3 horses and 3 cattle in Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio sometime in that same year. (He did not have a house or lot in this tax record). He sold a small portion of his land along with wife, Nancy on Jun 12, 1849 to the School district #8, 1/4 acre in sect. 31 T6 R16. In 1822, he was taxed on 2 horses and 4 cattle in Raccoon Twp., but again no house or lot. Bartholomew is on the 1823 delequent tax list for Gallia Co. OH, section 27, T. 6, Range 16 which indicates that he owned a second piece of land. He was taxed on 1 horse and 3 cattle in Raccoon Twp. in 1824 and 1825. He was on the tax list for 1825 and 1827, Sec. 34, T6, R16 in Raccoon Township. Reuben also lived in Raccoon Twp. (CL-499)

In the 1830 census, he is living in Raccoon Twp., Gallia Co., Ohio He has one son between 10-15 years, 1 from 15-20 and he was between the ages of 60 and 70. His wife was between the age of 50-60. They had one daughter living with them from age 5-10. They also had one of their likely mothers living with them, a woman between 80-90 years of age. They were neighbors of Thomas Boiles who was the husband of Jane Gaskins, Reuben Gaskins and Jacob Danner married to Sarah Gaskins. (p. 153)

In the 1840 census, he still had one son left in the household between 10 and 15. He and his wife were between the ages of 70 and 80. (p. 13, Raccoon Twp, Gallia Co, OH) In the 1850 census it is possible that he is the Bartholomew A. Gaston, age 88 who was born in MD and was still employed as a farmer. He lived with Overton Gaston (his son???), age 25, b. VA, farmer and his wife, Mary, age 22, b. PA, Nancy, age 39 f, b. VA and Bartholomew, age 1 b. Ohio. Nancy and the baby are his last spouse and a new young son. (C-495, 538) This is supported by a marriage record in Gallia County between Bartholomew A. Gaskins and Nancy Rose in 1748 and by the following record dated June 12, 1849. "In Deed Records, Volume 22, page 161, Bartholomew Gaskins to School District No. 8 Raccoon Township: 'Know by all men that we Bartholomew A. Gaskins an Nancy Gaskins, wife of said Bartholomew A. Gaskins, in consideration of the sum of $3 in hand paid by Thomas Jones, Edmond Noel, and Jacob White, School Directors of District No. 8 in Raccoon Township in Section 34 containing 1/4 acre to the Directors and their successors in office to have and to hold forever.' Signed, sealed and delivered in the presence of Daniel G. Whiton, Silas M. Boyer, Bartholomew A. Gaskins "x" (his mark). In this record, Rickabaugh #9 School was established and built on Garner's Ford Road. His birthplace of Maryland is again supported in his son, Abraham's 1880 census in which the household record states that Abraham's father was born in Maryland. He lived and probably died in Gallia Co., OH between 1850 and 1856 according to Warren Lawrence, a family researcher.

As for Bartholomew's parentage, it was passed down to Susan Roquemore that Bart's father was named Josiah, though I haven't found first hand support for this yet. (www.familytreemaker.com).

Bartholomew's marriage record to Rachel Wood Donathan is in Hinshaw's encyclopedia in volume 6 under Bedford Co., Virginia Marriage Bonds. It is NOT a Quaker record. Hinshaw in his last volume included marriage bonds for two counties in Virginia. Bedford was one of them. I believe that the persons who have connected Bartholomew to Josiah were confused by the county records that were included in Hinshaw's last volume, interpreting them as Quaker records.

If he was a Quaker, there is a Josiah Gaskill of correct age to be Bart's father in Hinshaw's Quaker records. Josiah Gaskill got a certificate to marry Mary Griffith on 10/5/1748 in Burlington MM, NJ. It should be again noted that Bartholomew's birthplace is listed as Maryland in his 1850 census and his son, Abraham's 1880 census which does not fit with the locations of this Josiah. I also have found extensive listings of the Gaskills (occasionally spelled Gaskins) in the Burlington MM, Records of NJ and no Bartholomew is amongst them.

Bartholomew is not in any of the deed records in NJ that support his lineage there either. Brian Durst suggests that he might have come from Northumberland Co., VA (via a Josiah Gaskins again) and that his somewhat unique name "Bartholomew" is from a stepbrother of his mother.
There are Gaskins in Virginia where a daughter, Elizabeth Gaskins married a Bartholomew Shrever, but no Bartholomew descendants in her brothers lines have yet been found by me. (CL-561)

As for Maryland leads, there are very few Gaskins in Maryland in the 1700's. There is a Sarah Gascoigne that came over in bondage in 1725 in the following record. If she had a male child out of wedlock, then she could be the grandmother of our Bartholomew Gaskins as one possibility.

There are 3 female Gaskins that marry in Talbot Co, MD a full generation before this Bart would have been born that might be his aunts. No others could be found in any marriage records for the entire state through the time period where he would have been born.

There is a Greenwood Gaskins living in Talbot Co., Maryland who witnesses a will for Peter Parratt on Sep 15, 1754. He himself dies and leaves a will in 1760 in that same county.

The following record on Ancestry applies to him.

A Leah or Leach Gaskin also dies in 1760 in Talbot Co., MD. One of these is likely to have had a son named Greenwood who was a Private in the Militia under Capt. Thomas Bullen's Co., about late 1775. Leah could be the nickname for Greenwoods' wife named Deborah. At least that is what I have theorized.

Of all of the Gaskins in Maryland, he could have easily descended from a William Gaskin who was named Constable for Bay Hundred in 1679 in Talbot Co., MD. He purchased or was granted 50 acres of land called Gaskins Pasture in Talbot County on 27 Mar 1682. He dies on June 16, 1711 in Prince George County in 1711. He left a will written on Apr. 29, 1711 and it was probated on Aug 4, 1711 by Executor Margaret Gaskin, his wife. A son John apparently sells part of 100 acres of land on the North Branch of Patuxent River called Green Clift in Prince George Co., MD to William Nicholls where he lived shortly after this as part of the settlement of his father's estate. John and his wife, Mary are in the records again referring to "Green Clifts" on Jul 20, 1730. This might be the John Gaskin living in Bullenbrook Hundred, Talbot Co., MD in an early 1733 state census. There is a John Gaston who is the head of household in Frederick Co., Maryland in the 1790 census. A William Gaskins took his oath of allegiance in 1778 in Somerset Co., MD. There is a James Gaskins who marries an Eleanor Sewell Gaskins sometimes after her first marriage in 1784 in Anne Arundel Co., Maryland that would be a contemporary of Bartholomew and his possible brother. (CL-555, 577, 578, 584-6)

In Virginia there is a pocket of Gaskins in Northumberland Co, VA in 1787. Adult households in that area are headed by Spencer, Salley, Edwin, Moses, Thomas John, Isaac, and Mary that might be related. Possible siblings show up in locations where his family or children live. IIn Clermont Co., OH there are multiple Gaskins of appropriate age to be his siblings. A Thomas Gaskins lives there in 1830 who is between age 40 and 50. (p. 189, Tate Twp., Clermont Co., OH).

Bartholomew married Rachel Ward\Woods DONATHAN on 7 May 1793 in , Bedford, VA, USA. Rachel (daughter of Thomas WOOD and Elizabeth UNKNOWN) was born about 1770 in Bedford Co., Virginia; died in 1840 in , Gallia, OH, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She is listed as a Wood in family records and as a Donathan in court records, so which is her maiden name is not clear. She is listed as Rachel Wood Donathan in her marriage to Bartholomew indicating that she was probably married to a Donathan before Bart.

My theory is that she is the daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Wood and sister to Jeremiah Wood. Both she (as Rachel Gaskins) and Jeremiah Wood are named in the will of Reubin Dolard on Jan 8, 1802 in Bedford Co., Virginia. Reubin Dolard was the same person that provided surety when she married indicating some close relationship between them, possibly uncle or grandparent. She is not named in her possible father, Thomas Wood's will written on Nov. 26, 1773 other than the fact that he alluded to his children in general. The will was not probated until Feb. 25, 1793, a few months before she married. She did name her oldest child, Thomas, again suggesting this is a likely match for the Bedford Co., Virginia area where they all lived. (Hinshaw, V.VI, CL-553, 554)

Notes:

Michael Jr. owned at least 4 tracks of land in York Co., Pennsylvania Two were called the "Valley of Peace" acquired on May 25, 1767 and two on "Chesnut Timber Hill" consisting of 193 acres. He and his family were members of the Little Conewago Church. It was not formed until 1741 and even then was located 14 miles from York, Pennsylvania In 1749, he was one of the commissioners who to lay out York Co. He was appointed the supervisor for Germany Twp., York Co. (now Adams Co.) PA in 1753. He lived in that same township and paid taxes there from 1762-1772. On Aug. 8, 1774, he was granted the land upon with the "Baer's Meeting House" and church were located in trust for the Mennonite Congregation by John and Thomas Penn. They were sons of William Penn. He was listed in the "4th Class" on Jan 30, 1782 in a Military List of Inhabitants for York Co., Pennsylvania Each person on this list was required to supply a man for military service or provide fees for same. Note that this was shortly before his death in that same year at his residence in the "Valley of Peace", Manheim Twp., York Co, Pennsylvania His children are listed in the York Co. Orphans Court Records, Book F, page 130. Michael Danner, was an early settler and large landowner in that township. Many persons who lived in the Southwestern part of this county and Manheim in particular were from the Grand Duchy of Baden near the historic old town of Manheim on the Rhine in Germany. Michael Danner was one of this group. He was the person who was recognized as giving this township in Pennsylvania it's name. The following document appears in the Orphan's Court Records for York Co., PA, Docket E, p.4-5. (CL-514E) It was translated by his descendant, Jenny Perry: "York County, Pennsylvania March AD 1815--Michael Danner's Guardian to Samuel Danner Know all men by those present, Whereas Michael Danner the younger late of Manheim Township in the county of York and the state of Pennsylvania, deceased who died intestate, and in his life time was owner and seized of two certain tracts of land situate in the township aforesaid, the one called "Valley of Peace" being the late dwelling plantation of the said deceased, Containing One hundred and thirty nine acres, and one hundred and fifty four perches and the usual allowance for Roads and highways.

Michael and his wife are buried in the Baer Meeting House Cemetery, York Co, PA on York-Hanover Road. He is also supposedly listed in "The Revolutionary War-A Sourcebook," Vol. P, page 128 by Henry James Young. (CL-526)

Michael married Susanna KEHR about 1757 in , York, PA, USA. Susanna was born on 10 May 1734 in , Lancaster, PA; died on 14 Oct 1828 in , York, PA, USA; was buried after 10 May 1834 in , York, PA, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Greenwood apparently got his name from Green Clifts, the name of the land John inherited from his father, Constable William Gaskins in Talbot Co, Maryland.

Greenwood married Deborah "Leah". Deborah was born before 1739 in of St Peters Parish, Talbot, Maryland; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Thomas Jr. acquired 1600 acres of land in the Peaks area where his father was the first white settler. It is now almost entirely National Park in that area. Thomas's estate inventory was taken by John. I'm assuming this was his known brother John. Thomas had written his will about 20 years previous to his death and had simply mentioned his children in his will without naming them. His will was probated in 1793 in Bedford Co., Virginia.

Thomas married Elizabeth UNKNOWN before 1765. Elizabeth died after 1793. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The following marriage might possibly be a 2nd marriage for Elizabeth if her husband, Thomas Wood, died before March of 1791. Elizabeth Wood, Virginia Marriages, 1785-1940
