Hannah E. GASTON

1859 - 1859  (0 years)

• Name	Hannah E. GASTON
  Birth	24 Jun 1859	Doddridge Co, WV   [1]
  Gender	Female
  Death	6 Jul 1859	Doddridge Co, WV   [2]
  Notes	Doddridge County records reflect that Hannah's older sister Sarah died on July 6 1859, at age 12 days, but also that Sarah married in 1865 at age 19. Hannah's birth record shows that she was born on June 24 1859, exactly 12 days before the July 6th date. Also, Sarah was listed in the family of their father Daniel H. Gaston in the 1850 and 1860 Census, but Hannah was never listed in any census. No subsequent record of Hannah has been found. It is clear, then, that it was Hannah who died on July 6th at age 12 days, and the entry of her sister's name was a clerical error.

  [S1553] Doddridge County Birth Records, West Union, WV, BR Bk 1, p. 15. [S1563] Doddridge County Death Records, West Union, WV, DR Bk 3, p. 5. The death record actually reflects the name of Sarah A. Gaston, Hannah's older sister, with age as 12 days. But this is clearly incorrect, as Sarah is known to have married six years later. No subsequent record of Hannah exists.
