1816 - 1841  (~ 25 years)

• Name	Samuel GASTON
  Suffix	Jr.
  Birth	CA 1816  [1]
  Gender	Male
  Death	13 Sep 1841  [3, 4]
  Burial	Mingo Creek Presb Cem, Union Twp, Washington Co, PA   [3, 4]
  	Headstone inscription reads "Samuel, son of Samuel Gaston Sen., died Sept 13 1841, in the 25 year of his age." Hanna, p. 43, incorrectly gives birth/death dates as 1814 - 1839. The death date on the headstone clearly reads Sept 13 1841, and the age 25, though not as clear, cannot be anything else.
  Notes	Samuel Gaston Jr. studied for the ministry at Washington College, Washington, PA, class of 1841.
