Not related, just did some lookups for you. Found some interesting links between the Works and the Gauldings. --------------------------------------------------------------- The book, "Marriages of Davidson Co. TN, 1789-1847", by Edythe Rucker Whitley shows the following marriage: Wallthal Gaulding married Rebecca Word December 3, 1835 (note the spelling of the names) For info about ordering a copy of this marriage record, go to the link I list at the bottom of this email. (There is a Rebecca Work listed in the index of this book but she is shown as marrying Stephen Russell Dec 31, 1826.) --------------------------------------------------------- The 1850 Census of Davidson Co.

BUT on page 342A, their is an interesting household: Griffin, John 30, Laborer, TN WORK, Catherine 50, VA Griffin, Sarah 28, TN GOULDING, John 13, TN GOULDING, Sarah 70, VA (the index lists John and Sarah's name as Goulding but the microfilm looks to me like Gaulding) (Catherine ((Griffin)) Work was the widow of Andrew Work - see 1835 marriage record below. ) ----------------------------------------------------------- The 1840 Census, as shown on ancestry.com, lists the following households, in District 12, on the same page: Work, Andrew males 0010210001 females 0110101 4 households away Galden, Walthal males 11001 females 10001101 (looks like a mother, or mother-in-law is living in household - could be Nancy Work from the 1830 Census below or Sarah Gaulding from the 1850 census above) next door Work, Samuel M. males 1100001 females 011101 14 households away Work, John males 200002 females 0002 QUESTION Would you like for me to send you a copy of the actual microfilm of the pages of the 1840 and 1850 Census? Note - there was another Samuel Work on the 1840 Census but in a different District. ------------------------------------------------------- The Davidson Co.
