Generation 1

Andrew Gaskill was born in England, either Lincconshire or Lancashire.   He came to America about 1836, first locating at Newcomerstown, Oh. where he taught school for several years and was married (Hx states 1839- marriage record 5-2-1844).   After a residence of 14 yrs he sold possessions with the intent of moving to Indiana.  However he became ill and died very quickly nine days later.  Andrew died and is buried at Bethel Cemetery, Salem Twp. Tuscawaras Co. Oh.  His wife Susanna Lacey remained one year then made the journey to Indiana, settling first near Dresden in Green Co. In.  She made the trip with 6 children.  She bought a farm for $1200 and a team and wagon, which left her a surplus of $100.  But 30 days later she learned there was a $500 dollar mortgage on the property and was forced to leave in 1856.  She moved to Sullivan Co. and rented a place. after one year she moved to the O.M. Patton place in Jackson Twp. where she lived 1 year.  She then lived with eldest son James at Samuel Badders place for 7 years.  They then moved to Cass Twp. and Jackson Hill. Susanna died around 1888.
* The dates in above do not match with records although the tale is correct.This comes from the biography of James B. Gaskill in Sullivan Co. History.
Susanna died in 1882 and is buried at Clayborne Cemetery, Sullivan Co.   (Pictures of both Markers are in files)  Note in file says that James B. Gaskill is buried next to John Harve McBride and that James' marker is actually where  Mary J. is buried on east side next to other Gaskills.  Also copies in file of Estate records, sale records, Ohio Land transactions, citizenship.   Andrew was possibly the brother of John Gaskill who came to Tuscawaras Co. from England in 1816 or son and/or a brother of one Peter Gaskill.
Andrew's will probated 1-26-1858, Estate sale 2-12-1857, Real estate sold 1-19-1858.  Andrew bought land in6-25-1944, also 1846,1848.
