Gaston Family in Pennsylvania?
Hello - I am looking for help with my family research.My gggrandmother is Rachel Gaston.She was born Pennsylvania abt 1841.The 1850 census shows her living in North Strabane, Washington county, PA with her dad James age 43, mom Jane age 43, sister Rosannah age 18, brother James age 15, brother Alexander age 13, brother William John age 10, Rachel herself was 8 and lastly a younger sister Mariah age 5!Two of the three census I have shows her parents (James and Jane) are from Ireland along with all her sibling through William John.Which means if that is correct they came to the US between 1840 and 1842 since Rachel was born in PA.I have another census that states the parents were born in the US?Rachel married John McCoy who was born in Cannonsbug pa abt 1834.In 1880 they were living in Union, Clay, Kansas.Rachel died 1919 in Clay Center, Clay, Kansas. I show they had 13 children. Any information or help would be wonderful.I am able to find Gastons in PA but none that came directly from Ireland. Thank you, Barbara
