Gildersleeve, and my Fathers name is Edward Valerius Gildersleeve. Was Williams wife named Deborah Budd or M. Amelis Scherrer? William was married 3 times. If you still have the picture I would love to see it. I am trying to tracing my roots all the way back to Roger Gyldensleeve 1273 Norfolk, England. The name was changed from Gyldensleeve to Gildersleeve sometime in 1580's. I would like to know any information you have on the Gildersleeve. Thank you kindly, Susan Poston
