About Elizabeth Gascoyne
From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Gascoigne-135
Thomas and his wife had at least five children surviving infancy: Thomas, Alice, Mary/Elitia, Josias and Henry. Dorman, Adventurers of Purse and Person, 4th ed., 2:55 adds two — Elizabeth, between Thomas and Alice, and Mary, as a daughter separate from Elitia:
- Thomas2 appears to have been the eldest child as he deposed aged 38 in 1664 (b. c.1626). It seems he must have immigrated with his family, yet he doesn't appear to have been claimed as a headright in 1636. Perhaps this was a clerical error. 'Josias' could have been copied from the previous name instead of 'Thomas'. He married Sarah, apparently the widow Schrever. Administration of his estate was granted 1 Mar 1676 (Northumberland Co. Orders 1666–78: 131). His widow soon married John Pinkard, but died before 21 Jan 1679/80 when John Pinkard, who had married the widow of Thomas Gascoyne, was sued for custody of the 5 children of Thomas Gascoyne, by John Taylor, Henry Mayes, Josias Gascoyne, and Henry Gascoyne (Northumberland Co. Orders 1678–98: 54). Elizabeth2 was born c.1628 — if she existed. Most researchers believe the Eliz. Gaskins claimed as a headright in 1636 was the wife of Thomas1 Gaskins, the immigrant, not a daughter.
- Alice2 was born c.1630, and her father claimed her as a headright in 1636. She married John Taylor say 1650. They had children in the 1650s and 1660s. He is said to have died 5 Apr 1702, and his will, now lost, was probated 15 Apr 1702 (Northumberland Co. Orders 1699–1713: 196). She died before 21 Oct 1702 when she was described as "Alice Taylor, dec'd".
- Mary2 was born c.1632 as her father claimed her as a headright in 1636, though no other record of her is known. It's possible she was the same person as Elitia.
- Elitia2 was born c.1634 (or c.1632 if she was the same person as Mary). She married Henry Mayes c.1652 who died before 18 Jun 1702 when his will was probated. She died before 19 Aug 1708 when her will, now lost, was probated (Northumberland Co. Orders 1698–1713: 541). Some say that Henry Mayes married Mary Gaskins. If there is some record of this, then Mary and Elitia were the same person. The name 'Elitia' is very unusual and is considered to have originated in America. It's possible the first person to use it was Elitia (Gaskins) Mayes. Amongst the descendants of Thomas1 Gaskins, the immigrant, it appears at least three more times. Many variant spellings are found, e.g. Elesha, Elisha and Elisher, but spellings like Eliza and Alicia appear to be modern mistranscriptions.
- Josias2 was born say 1640. He was far too young to have been the Josias Gaskins his father claimed as a headright in 1636. Josias married Dorothy Dameron say 1673 as she deposed aged 70 on 17 Mar 1725/26 (b. 1655 or 56). They had children in the 1670s and 1680s. Administration of his estate was granted 15 Sep 1703 to Samuel Mahons, who had married his relict (Northumberland Co. Orders 1699–1713: 259). Dorothy (Dameron) (Gaskins) Mahons died before 4 Aug 1737 when her husband wrote his will.
- Henry2 was born say 1645. He married Elizabeth. Their eldest known child was born in 1681, so she may have been born c.1660. His will, now lost, was probated 20 Oct 1697 (Northumberland Co. Orders 1678–98: 796).
