Feb. 1899 NC Sarah had no children. William is a day laborer. Sarah & the older children are farm laborers. Not sure what to make of this census. Because Thad was born BEFORE Augusta & George married, thought possibly she had been married previously & Thad was her son from that marriage. But have not found a marriage record previous to her marriage to George. So, possibly Thaddeus Taylor is the Thad of this memorial & Augusta is his mother & not a sister. Sarah is obviously a stepmother. If Thaddeus IS Augusta's son, then George Edward Gaskins is probably not his birth father. George Gaskins m. Augusta Taylor 26 Jan. 1903, Chicod Twp, Pitt Co., NC.
