Sophia daughter of Henry Gassaway and his wife Rebecca Chapman was born 1723, and married John Springs of Jones Neck and Dover, Delaware, and removed with him and their five children in 1766 to North Carolina."

"Henry Gassaway eldest son of Thomas Gassaway and his wife Susannah, sold his interest in the homestead to his brother John and others, and removed to Annapolis. His first wife was Rebecca Chapman. Sophia daughter of Henry Gassaway and his wife Rebecca Chapman was born 1723, and married John Springs of Jones Neck and Dover, Delaware, and removed with him and their five children in 1766 to North Carolina." The birth date of Sophia matches her grave???
But the archives do clearly say Henry son of Thomas & Susannah was born in 1823. ...so, is Sophia's father a Henry of an older brother of Thomas and the Springs book projected the wrong father when knowing the grandfather?
