In the 1850 census Gideon is living with Julia Ransone age 50
and who is probably a son Solomon Ransone age 19. Julia could well be a daughter

They had at least 9 children: 4 male and 5 female. There are not many Watertown records available so it has been very difficult to trace the children other then Erastus.

The town records of Southbury, CT, contain tax lists in which Gideon is included from 1787 - 1804.

He registered his livestock earmarks on Jan. 26, 1788, which consisted of a half crop on the upper side of the left ear and a half penny on the upper side of the right ear.
