I have been researching the Gilbert's in LA and MS for 4o years--so I might be able to help you. My line is Samuel Gilbert who married Dicy Hughs in Adams Co in 1805. He is part of the Maryland Gilbert family and I know the connections. I am also familiar with the Gilbert boys--Tillman and Thomas--who married into the Guice family. From your note I am not able to tie these together. The two Gilbert men who married into the Spires/Spairs family are from my Samuel and were born and reared in MS. There is another man researching the children of Samuel Jr. Gilbert (early member in VA) and a lot of this family came to MS and LA. There is another family of Gilbert's, Edward who married Mary Ann Foote and settled in LA. If you could give me a little more to go on, I will be happy to share what I have. I know by looking at what you gve that you have some false connections.
