John Gaston was born May, 1740, died September 10, 1823. On
February 4, 1760, he married Charity Cheeseman, who was born March
13, 1734, and died February 15, 1821. They lie buried in the Mingo
Church graveyard, Union (formerly Peters) Township, Washington
County, Pennsylvania. She was the daughter of Joseph Cheeseman of
Upper Freehold (now Millstone) Township, Monmouth County, New
Jersey. At Tennent, Monmouth County, New Jersey, is a Presbyterian
Church, founded about 1692, and then called Old Scots Church. Later
it was called Freehold Church. Now it is known as Old Tennent. John
Gaston belonged to this church for years, and the old records gives dates
of baptism of his first five children, and refer to him as "John Gaston, Jr.,
whose father was Murthered by the Indians." In 1790 John Gaston
bought a tract of land in Washington County, Pennsylvania, containing
about 300 acres, upon which Gastonville is located.

This information is taken from Ancestry.com. Major Gaston was my 5 -6 great grandfather. This research has been done by a niece.
