The 1699 birthdate as given on the PAF cannot be correct as Rev. John
would be 86 upon his last child's birth. Nancy (Ann) was born ca 1785.
The date of 1720 is probably closer to the truth.

Families tied into the Gerards (directly or indirectly) were the Van
Metre, Dubois, Sheperd, Hite..pps. 254-264 from West Virginia Families
show origins of these families as being near Pelmel , along the
Potomoc
