Gilbert shot in Texas abt 1872
We are looking for the parents of Robert Lemuel Gilbert born 4-18-1868 in Texas.He married Emily Agnes Sparks on 3-7-1889 in Wise County, Texas.He had a brother William S. Gilbert born 1859.Family history says that their father was shot in his front yard in front of these two boys thus leaving them orphans.We think we found them with their mother Marsha Obediance Gilbert in 1870 Kaufman County, Texas census.She is not listed as a widow and their are several other children listed.In 1880 we find both boys living in Decatur, Wise County, Texas.
Can anyone help us?
