Gideon was the fifth of thirteen known children born to Hosea Crossett and Persis Hills of Duxbury, Vermont. He was married in Moretown, VT on 21 March 1850 to Nancy Augusta THORNTON, the daughter of Jesse Thornton and Lucinda Carpenter. Gideon appears twice in the 1850 census, once as a child, aged 24 in the household of his parents in Duxbury, and also in Moretown with wife Nancy and with "Laura" Crossett, aged 7. This is very likely his little sister, Loraine. In 1863 he registered for the Civil War draft, and his occupation was given as joiner. In 1870 he and Nancy were living in Acworth, NH with his brother Julius and family, and with his father. In 1880 he was still in Acworth with wife Nancy, daughter Lizzie, aged 25, and brother Justin B. Crossett, aged 34. Gideon was an invalid near the end of his life, and his brother, Justin came to visit him in Providence, then suddenly died of pneumonia; Gideon died three days later. A few years later Nancy died in Keene, NH.
