Dorraine, My g-grandmother was Laura E Gillenwater b 27 Mar 1884 d/o John Bennett Gillenwater and Amanda Bower Gillenwater. Laura married Palmer Lee Hall b 5 Dec 1886 on 7 Nov 1907. Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dorraine Howell Phillips" <yankgonesouth@swva.net> Dave, What Gillenwater are you related to? My great aunt Iva Thompson wed a William Gillenwater in 1927 montgomery county. He was the son of Byrd and Bessie Gillenwater. Iva's brother Fuller wed William's sister Eliza on May 16, 1921 montgomery co. Dorraine

Dave, I note John Bennett's father's surname was spelled Gillinwalters in the marriage record (Sparrel Gillinwalters m. Eliza Hutcherson). Do you think all the Gillenwater(s), Gillenwalter(s), or Gillinwalter(s) in Floyd County were of the same family? If so, did they actually spell their surname these different ways or were they errors in recording marriages, wills and deeds, etc.?
