Hi Jane, Thanks. There is a Martha Ann GILBERT and Mary Elizabeth GILBERT, but Martha married a RAWLS, and M. E. GILBERT married Mitchell POOL, s/o John POOL (RS). One reason I asked about the GILBERTS has to do with a connection to an Andrew THOMAS family from Newberry County. John Robert THOMAS, b. 4 Dec 1799, Newberry District, SC, s/o Andrew THOMAS and Sarah ( ). J. R. THOMAS m. Dempsey POOL, d/o John POOL (RS) and Mahulda HOLLOWAY. Andrew THOMAS and Caleb GILBERT are right together listed on a Pettit Jury in Newberry, 1796. Andrew THOMAS is seen on deeds of Newberry with LAGRONES and HOUSEALS; both seen in our lineage. Mitchell and Dempsey POOL are siblings, children of John POOL (RS). Anyone related to these people?
