Note: Gilbert was in Monongalia Co., (w)va. in 1790. Gilbert lived off of Bartletts
run when indians found him at home. He pretended to be a great friend to the
british to save his life. He lived with the indians for a while and later
returned home.
Seeing that the whites, in that neighborhood, had all retired to the fort; and being too weak, openly to attack it, they crossed over to Bartlett`s run, and came to the house of Gilbert Hustead, who was then alone, and engaged in fixing his gun lock. Hearing a noise in the yard, for which he was unable to account, he slipped to the door, to ascertain from whence it proceeded. The Indians were immediately round it, and there was no chance for escape. Walking out, with an air of utmost pleasantry, he held forth his hand, to the one nearest him, and asked them all to walk in. While in the house he affected great cheerfulness, and by his tale won their confidence and friendship. He told them that he was a King`s man and unwilling to live among the rebels; for which reason when others retired into the fort, he preferred staying at his own house, anxiously hoping for the arrival of some of the British Indians, to afford him an opportunity of getting among English friends. Learning upon inquiry, that they would be glad to have something to eat, he asked one of them to shoot a fat hog which was in the yard, that they might regale on it that night, and have some on which to subsist while traveling to their towns. In the morning, still farther to maintain the deception he was practicing, he broke his furniture to pieces, saying "the rebels shall never have the good of you." He then accompanied them to their towns, acting in the same, apparently, contented and cheerful manner, till his sincerity was believed by all, and he obtained leave to return for his family. He succeeded in making his way home, where he remained, sore at the destruction of his property, but exulting in the success of his artifice.

2. Abstracts of the Records of the Courts of Quarter Sesions, Hardin
County, Kentucky, 1792-1801. by Roberta Hofmann:
" 23 June 1795 - George Whate and Mary Husted were accused of "living in the
sin of adultry at Hardins Settlement from the 12th day of December to this
time," as reported by Philip Tabor and his son Amasa

charged with adultery.
25 Jun 1795 - George Whale was summoned "to answer for living in adultery

25 June 1795 - George Whate was charged with "maliciously possessing Mary,
wife of Gilbert Husted."
"The jurors for the Commonwealth on the oaths present that George Whale of
the said County of Hardin yeoman not having God before his eyes nor acting

Askins, Courtney to Louell, Ann, 7/18/1818

(last two - brothers of Edward?)
NOTE: I have copied the pages from the Breckinridge Co., KY Tax Lists of
the pages which include Edward Askins and William Fisher. It appears that
those families of Gilbert stayed around him. Did not find the Henry Carter
family (daughter Mary) there.
BTW - Gilbert was in Fayette County, Ky in 1789, Woodford Co., KY, in 1790,
1791, Hardin Co., Ky, 1799.
