Biography

N.B.: Gaspar’s name shows up in contemporary documents with variants. Gasper, Casper, and Club, Clobb. Gaspar’s descendants pretty much adopted the spelling “Clubb.”

Gaspar's death date is dated as after 1820 as that is the last time he shows up in census records (he was nearly 80 at the time). He could have lived to 1830 and not shown up if he were living with another head of household.
