>I am trying to locate my g-g-grandfather Francis Marion Cunningham who >married my g-g-grandmother Margaret Gaither 6/17/1855 in Davie County, NC. >Margaret Gaither lived in Rowan County, the daughter of Isam Gaither. I >know Francis went by his middle name Marion because he is referred to some >family records by his middle name. There is a Francis Cunningham in the Davie County 1850 census, age 13, son of Samuel and Nancy Cunningham. He does not appear in Davie in 1860 or 1870. Francis Asberry Cheshire posted the >wedding bond. C. Harbin was their witness. My g-grandmother Mary Jane >Cunningham was born in 1859 in Rowan County. In 1861, her sister >Clementine was born, listing Franklin Thomas Cunningham as the father. I >can only assume Francis Marion was killed or died sometime between 1859 and >1861. Margaret's little sister Nancy married a Rubin Cunningham 12/20/1863. Samuel and Nancy also had a son Reuben Cunningham, born about 1845. Can you fill me in on the rest of Isam Gaither's family? And is this Isam the son of Zachariah Gaither and Sarah Taylor, or another one? Elizabeth Harris state coordinator, NCGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncgenweb/
