Events in My Family Tree: November 8

So Joseph Gaunt died on his sister-in-law Sarah's 57th birthday, but he was in Jay County, Indiana, while I believe Sarah (who was alraedy widowed) was in Wabash County, therefore probably not affecting any possible birthday celebration that might have been taking place.
