    Notes 
    • No record of the parentage or other information of Susana Jett has been found.

      We previously reported her birth date as "bef 1798," source not documented. But that would have made her only 13 at the time of her 1811 marriage. Then we found the 1830 Census giving her age as between 40 and 50. That puts her birth sometime between 1780 and 1790. It is likely that she was born toward the end of that range, based on Hugh's known 1788 birth date.

      In Book 2, p. 388, of Harrison County Marriage Bonds is a record of a bond of $150 being paid by Hugh Gaston and James Coberly (spelling may be Cubberly) in connection with the marriage of Hugh Gaston and "Susana Jett of full age." It is unknown what relationship existed between James Coberly and Susana Jett. We have found only that a James Coberly (b. 1779) and wife Letitia "Tisha" Jett (b. 1783) were residents of Harrison/Gilmer Co in that time period.

      A W. Guy Tetrick family information survey completed by great-grandson Ira Dow Gaston in 1931stated that his grandparents were Hugh Gaston, born 1788, died July 5 1888, and Susana Jett, born "unknown," daughter of "unknown," they were married in 1811, and she died May 1 1849. The reported death date is considered suspect,, since she did not appear in the 1840 Census of the Hugh Gaston household, so it is assumed that she died prior to that undated enumeration. Hugh is known to have remarried on June 1 1848.
