Research note: birth year and burial place
The original family file gives this Gideon two birth dates, 29 September 1751 (twice) and the bare year 1747. The September 1751 date is used here; the 1747 date is unexplained. The burial place was garbled in the file as “Jackson Cemetary, Naverino, NY.” Jackson Cemetery is at Navarino, Onondaga County, New York, where his wife Mary Quackenbush is also buried.
