David Elbert Gilbert
The following was posted as a follow-up to message #5136.It would have been proper to post it as new, thus is repeated here.
I've recently found additional info regarding my gfather plus info about my ggfather and other family members. David Elbert Gilbert was not a junior.His father was David H. Gilbert, b 7/4/1861, d 3/7/1920; married to Susie Moore, b 3/27/1859, d 2/7/1945.
A son of David H. was George C., b 12/18/1888, d 8/18/1970, married to Buelah J. ?, b 8/1/1893, d 9/15/1987. They had a son Chesley G. Gilbert b 3/3/1913, d 11/30/1950, apparently a casualty of the Korean conflict.
A daughter of David H. was Nellie b 10/31/1884, d 3/29/1987, married to Luther Mangham b 11/30/1889 d 2/22/1954.
Jessie Gardner's (wife of David Elbert)father was Joseph S. Gardner, married to Fannie Sherman, b 4/17/1857, d 8/27/1933.
In the 1880 census, David H. age 18, is shown living with parents Frances, age 41 and Elizabeth, age 43, in Upson County, GA.An entry for the next house is Margaret Gilbert, age 77, listed as "Mother."I'm assuming this is the mother of Frances Gilbert.
If you identify with or have knowledge of any of these relatives, your input will be valued.
