• Notes

  William Gaskin 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.
