I question your use of the name of WILSON GASKINS as being an "Ancient planter" in Jamestowne. The first indicator is that although all the rest of the names are in ABC order the name of Wilson Gaskins heads the entire list. The second indicator is that he is not mentioned in the new Martha W. McCartney book on early VA settlers from 1607 to 1624. Third he is not recognized on any of the lists of the Jamestowne Society. Fourth he is not listed in the Society of Ancient Planters. Therefore, I believe that this is a mistke.
