James Gossett b.ca.1768/70 died:1821 S.C.
(married)
Catherine (?)possibly Kirby) b.1770 Maryland died after 1850 Union S.C.

Children listed:

1. Fielder born 1792 (m) Rachel Gordon
2. Sounsberry (twin) b.Feb.26,1797 (m)lst.? (m) 2nd. 1844 Treacy Coleman
3. Asberry (twin)Feb.26,1797 (m) lst. Mary Peterson (m)2nd.Nancy Taylor
4. Elijah b. 1799 (m) lst. Sidney Donaldson (m) 2nd.?

On Sep.17,1821 a sale was held after James Gossett died and those who purchased from this sale included:

William Kirby, Right Kirby, Joshua Kinnett, Frances Kirby, Asberry Gossett, Fielder Gossett, Richard Lemaster, James Tolleson, Thomas Kirby, John Kirby, Sounsberry Gossett, Elijah Gossett.

I believe that Catherine's maiden name was "Kirby" and there was a "John Kirby" in Maryland, and a John Kirby who died in Union S.C. in 1807. Leaving a will.

James Gossett is first picked up in Spartanburg S.C. in 1810. He is listed with wife and 4 sons.

Catherine Gossett is listed in Union Co.S.C. as a member of the Padgett Creek Baptist Church and she is listed as:Catherine Goswick & Catherine Gossett.

This is entirely a different Robert D. Gossett and he may be a son of the older Robert D. Gossett since the children's names are so much the same.  If he was a son of the older Robert D. Gossett, where was he in 1850 ?

Thanks for the come back, Ron. Yes, I have the father of Thomas Adolphus Gossett. His name is Robert D. (Donaldson?) Gossett b 1822 d
1899 marr 1st Elmira Wilbanks or Woodbanks. 2nd Sarah S. (Sally) McDonald b 26 Oct 1860, Cherokee Co., TX. d 1903
I have the following siblings of Thomas Adolphus and Sarah. Laura m Jos Woodward, Amanda, Roda (Rhoda)m J.K. Mckenzie, (Thomas
Adolphus), Henderson, Susan m A,M. Brashear,
Alsey(Ailsey)m James Henry Phifer and Daniel Edward m Hattie Love. 6 born in SC the rest in TX.
I believe that the 2nd Robert R. Gossett found on the census is probably an older son and his family.
Robert D. Gossett's parents are Elijah and Sidney Donaldson Gossett, SC. And parents of Elijah are James Gossett and Catherine (Kirby),
Spartanbury, S.C.
Do you have this line? Let me know.
