Elizabeth Nuthall (Bacon) - Interesting Scholarly Article regarding John and Elizabeth

Seems the Nuthalls and Gaskinses struck deeper roots in Maryland than in Northampton/Accomack, because they are at best sketchily represented in the Miles Files. (MK Miles uses the form "Gascoigne" before about 1800, and has no reference to the viper-tongued "Bess Gaskins".)

According to the indefatigable Ann A.K. Blomquist https://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=ann%5Fblomqui..., Elizabeth of the poisonous tongue was the second wife of William Gascoigne (alias Gaskins). His first wife's name was Anne, and Anne was the mother of his two (or possibly three) sons.

Thanks Maven! I find the Miles Files are super for most genealogy on the Eastern Shore. Interesting to learn more about Bess. I've done quite a bit of research on Elizabeth Bacon Holloway Nuthall, but am engrossed in another lineage right now. Once that project is completed, let's collaborate!

My Sprigg/Nuthall/Bacon descent seems to be relatively well established, although the earlier generations are less so. My Cumming/Coppage/Basye/Taylor/Gascoigne line as well. Although I have found a few collateral Gaskins lines I have not been able to connect with this William. As for the dispute, I might add that there have always been many truths that should never pass one´s lips, which many a gilted spouse can understandibly forget.
