Message Board Post:
I am looking for information about Thomas P. Mattox and his wife, Mary V. Gaskill Mattox
of Princeton Twp., White Co. Mary Gaskill Mattox was the daughter of Eli & Emily
Peters Gaskill Jr. of Wilmington, Clinton Co., OH. In 1870 Mary is listed in the Clinton
Co. census with her parents, Eli and Emily, and all her siblings: Alice age 13, Harriet
age 11, Clinton age 9, Frances age 7, Mary age 5 and William Gaskill age 1. In 1880 Mary
Gaskel is listed in the household of Abner Devenport in Monroe, Pulaski, IN. Mary's
mother died in 1872 in Winamac, Pulaski Co., IN according to the Civil War Pension papers
for her father Eli Gaskill Jr. Also in those papers it says Eli died in 1894 in Winamac
leaving a second wife, Jennie E. Baker Gaskill who Eli married in Winamac after his first
wife's death. Mary Mattox signed an affadavit on her father's pension papers
stating the death date of her mother in 1872. In the 1900 White Co. census Mary is living
with T. P. Mattox and chil!
dren: Bertha age 17, Roy age 15, Frank age 12, Grace age 10, Ella Mattox age 4 AND also
in the household was Mary's brother, William Gaskill, unmarried. I am descended from
Eli Gaskill Jrs. brother, William Smith Gaskill of Clinton & Madison Co's., Ohio.
I would like to find information on Mary Gaskill Mattox and her descendants. If anyone can
help me please email me at MMer2000(a)aol.com Thank you. Kathryn Mereness
