Thanks much, Vivian! Funny I had found some Gilbert information on that site, but didn't think to check for Furnas info. Duh. The thing I was looking at is that Cary/Carey was a huge name in the Gilbert line. The first Cary Gilbert was born in 1766 to Quakers Jonathan and Hannameel CARY Gilbert from Bush River. The name has been carried down in just about every Gilbert and ancillary line since then. I don't see any obvious connection to the Gilberts in the Furnas line (which I had suspected), but this Cary Furnas was born in 1803, and the original Cary Gilbert died young in Newberry in 1802. Maybe they just named their son in his honor. So much for that. I thought I might find a who a Gilbert daughter had married.
