Ray, which Thomas Gilbert married Edy ?????and lived in GA. per the following deed-------- 28 Aug 1793John Culpepper witnessed a deed grant on 28 Aug 1793 at Wilkes Co., Georgia. (Book OO, p. 235. Thomas Gilbert and Eady, his wife, of Washington Co.., to Thomas Wilborn of Wilkes Co.GA., for 200 pounds, in Wilkes Co. on both sides of branch of Long Creek, 200 acres. (signed) Thomas Gilbert, Edee (E) Gilbert. Wit: John Culpepper, Henry Stokes. Delivered by Thomas Gilbert, 14 Mar. 1797, Edwd. Bryan, J.P. Regd. 10 Apr. 1797.).6-----------
I am assuming this Edy Gilbert is the same person as described by Sarah Rowland in her 1831 letter to her parents David and Ursula Burlison in Rutherford TN.Sarah Rowland and her sister Mary Brooks(Mrs. William Brooks II the son of William Brooks the First) were married when their parents moved to TN in 1806. They, Sarah and Mary,remained in Montgomery Co NC on Rocky River. Sarah Rowland and Mary Brooks are named in David's Will of 1834.
This is the 1831 Letter to David and Ursula Weatherford Burleson , Rutherford County TN. by their daughter Sarah Burleson Rowland.
--------Now I want you to writ to me as soon as you Can and wants to know ware old uncle Hill WETHERFORD and uncle Billy WETHERFORD is and all my Brothers and Sisters is and how they are all doing. I can inform you that old JESSY BROOKS come in from the State of Georgia and Says that ant Edy GILBERT dyde last fall and Said that one of his sons married one of cousin JOHN GILBERTs daugthers. My daugther Margret was married last Spring to one of Joseph HOWELL's Sons. William BROOKS and Polly was hire at the Barring and they was all well, Old aunt Patsey BURLEYSON Staid with me nine or ten days while Sherwood was sick. We look for Thomas ROWLAND to Come next fall and we'll write to him to come next fall and we'll write to him to come by there. Brother Isaac you come if you Can whether he Comes By or not. Rite to him when he will come and Be ready and com if you can. I want to see Some of my people one more time in this World if it so that I Can-- Fare you well father , mother, Brothers and Sisters for Ever
Sarah ROWLAND (Posted at Concord, N.C. Nov. 22, 1831).------
The letter proves that Sarahs' mothers' maiden to have been Weatherford. The "old aunt Patsey Burlison" was the widow of her father's brother Isaac Burlison.(my line). The "Aunt Edy Gilbert" had to be a sister of Sarah's Mother or I suppose she could a sister to to her father, therefore a maiden name of Burlison. Nothing is known of a female Burlison for that time period, but I suppose it could be possable. The order in which Sarah ask her questions is 1st. about her uncles Wm and Hilkiah, 2nd her own siblings,3rd mention the death of her aunt Edy, These were her blood kin. Later in the conversation Sarah mentions Old aunt Patsey, who was not blood kin but the widow of her father's brother. That logicdoes not prove anything but I would bet Edy's maiden name was Weatherford.
Old Jessy Brooks was a brother to William Brooks the first.(per Brooks researchers) Sarah states that Jessy Brooks son (not named) married a daughter of "Cousin John Gilbert" A cousin to Sarah Rowland had to be a son of her aunt Edy Gilbert. The same Edy Gilbert of GA that was married to Thomas Gilbert per the above deed of 28 August1793.
I hope this letter was usefull to you.John Hoyle Burleson.
