Your probably right. After going back and taking another look at the original it looks like GAULT is probably the spelling. After reading several pages of a persons handwriting you sometimes get a better idea of their style. As I've progressed through this I've found many places where I interpreted something wrong and had to change it. Some of our ancestors had better handwriting than some others. I've often wondered why census takers always seem to have the worst. *<]:oD Good catch. Thank you for the correction. I won't get it uploaded for a while but I will get the change made.

In section 9, it lists 3 elders, one was W.A. Garalt. I think this should be W.A. Gault. If so, he was my great grandfather, William A. Gault b 1818 d. 1899. m Sarah Gleghorn.

Billie, I admire you for transcribing the church records. I've "interpreted" several postcards, poems of my great-great-grandfather (1825-1917) and, fortunately, began doing so when my mother (1896-1993) was able to help.  Yes, people in that time frame made the "double s" to look like a "p" - and my handwriting booklet was helpful. Good luck to you with this worthwhile project and for bringing it forward for all of us. Peggy Peggy {KING} TRUESDELL
