Surnames: Gabbard - Viers Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/nBB.2ACI/2944 Message Board Post: Looking for info on the family of William Gabbard. I don't have much to go on at this point but it is believed that his first wife's maiden name was Viers. They had three children: a son William "Billy" and two daughters, one named Cleta. His wife died and he remarried. The second wife supposedly killed him & went to prison for the crime. This would have happened perhaps in the 1920- 1930 time period. These three children grew up in an orphanage in North Carolina. The son, Billy, is my uncle and has no idea where his parents are even buried. Can anyone help?
