Hi Charlotte, I'm connected, but not related. My fourth great grandfather was Thomas Gilbert of Newberry County. When his first wife Rebecca Gauntt died, he married her sister, Mary Gauntt Coats. Mary was the widow of William Coats, and they had sons Daniel P. and Frederick. Thomas and Mary moved from Newberry County to Limestone Co., AL sometime in the late 1820s. Daniel had moved to Nacadoches County, TX by 1850. Jane
