Would you happen to know any information on Winneford Gilford who married Irby Gilder. She was born about 1819 in Ga and died aft.1870. Her family moved around quite a bit. In 1840-50 the Gilder's were in Randolph CO., GA. In 1860 they were in Henry Co., Al and in 1870 they were in Calhoun CO., GA. Her children moved to Henry Co. again. One of her sons, James Irby Gilder is buried in Henry Co. ( Bethelhem Cem., if I remember correctly). Thanks for your help!

Never mind the spelling of Guilford/ Gilford they were used interchangably then as they are sometimes today. Their children referred to Tabitha as Mollie. William Everett is buried in the old cemetary in > Clayhatchee, AL. I have a complete listing of Tabitha and William's children, but I'll have to send it later. > Thanks for sharing all the good information. > Regards > Roger E.
