Source: Abstracts Of The Wills And Estate Records Of Granville County, North Carolina, 1746-1808 by Zae Hargett Gwynn Publisher, Joseph W. Watson, copyright, 1973 Page 75, # 300 October 12, 1778 - proved February Court 1781 - Will of William Gillam to wife Agnes all my estate for her lifetime; to son William Gillam, all my carpenter's tools and cooper's tools, a gun and sheep; to sons William and Harris Gillam, all divided that is left at death of my wife Agnes; to grandson Drury Kimball, bed and furniture; to granddaughter Amey Gillam, a side saddle; to my four children: William, Harris, Winney, and Amey. Exrs: wife Agness, son William, and friend Christopher Robinson. Wts: Wm. Neale, Robert Robinson. Does anyone know which Harris family the Gillam family was tied into? Was Agness' maiden name Harris? There were several Harris Gillams or Harris Gilliam's. Are the Gillams and the Gilliams the same family or two distinctly different families? Any insight is appreciated. Please respond through HH or H-NC so that others may be helped. In July 2002, I posted a series of Granville County, N.C. Wills. One of those wills was for a William Gilliam. Some of the names are similar. Is this the same William Gillam, the son William, or a distinctly different one? Ira L. Harris III Evansville, Indiana
