Joni, since I posted that message, I have had to admit that Reuben wasn't my gggrand-father, but that John, who married Elizabeth Faust was.There used to be a terrific site that gave more info than I could possibly give you, but I'm afraid that it is no longer available.According to it, John was married 3 times at least.His first wife's name wasn't known, but they had four children, Ellender, who married John Kyzer, John H., who married Jane Coward, Uriah, who married Margaret Parnell, and Nancy, who married a Martin. Elizabeth was his second wife, and gave him 7 children, Reuben, Jefferson (my ggrandfather), William Thomas, James, Peter Alexander, Lucinda, and Harrison M.I have quite a bit of info on these, but would rather you would email me at [email protected] for more info.
Now, do you know anything about Elizabeth?Her parents, her origins.My ggrandfather, Jefferson, put on one census that she was born in Holland.The site I mentioned above said she was Black Dutch, but that it was believed to be German, since Faust is a German name.As I mentioned above, John's oldest, Ellender married a Kyzer, so it is believed that a group of Germans were with the Gills in their travels or where they passed.I would like very much to know more about Elizabeth.
Oh, yes, John's last wife was Alsey, last name unknown.I don't believe that they had any children.
Please let me hear from you.I think we can help each other.
