Biography

Josiah Gaskill and Rebecca Lippencott had six children: Jacob born 1708. Mary born 1706 who married Joseph Carter, Josiah born 1711, Jonathan, a daughter Thanet who married Absalom Evan and another daughter who married Robert King. Rebecca apparently died before 1748 for in that year Josiah Gaskill married Mary Griffith, who survived him. Josiah's will, probated in 1761, mentions his wife Mary, and his children, with the exception of JONATHAN GASKILL who died before his father, but Jonathan's son Joshua, and Joshua's son Jonathan are mentioned. Jonathan's own will shows that he had one other son, Josiah, and six daughters, Livinia, Mary, Hope, Rachel, Patience and Charity. His wife was Jane Shinn, and they were married in 1732. ^[1]
