- His birth date is entirely a guess from Newman 2.340; Gassaway Watkins and Walter Worthington made depositions in 1804, and Gassaway Watkins was 47 at the time. I assume this is the same Gassaway Watkins because the name is mentioned next to a Worthington.
"Passed, Nov. session, 1811 (Jan. 6, 1812) - No. 36. Treas. Western Shore be, and is hereby requested to pay unto Robert Halkerstone (see res. Dec. 1817), of Charles County, Edward Tillard of Montgomery county, John McCoy, John S[prigg] Belt, Gassaway Watkins, Cornelius H. Mills, and John J. Jacob, and each and every one of them, or their order, the sum of $125.00, annually, during their lives, in quarterly payments, out of any unappropriated monies in the treasury."
"Passed Dec. session, 1815 - No. 64. Treas. Western Shore pay unto Gassaway Watkins, late a capt. in the rev. war, quarterly, a sum equal to the half pay of a captain, in lieu of the sum already allowed him by a resolution passed at Nov. session, 1811, as a further remuneration for those services which so essentially contributed to the independence of his country."
