Hello Audrey, this is Audrey Williams Stanaland,lol, responding to your GILL family postings. I first found you on the PULLEN boards. I have a GILL marriage in my ANDREWS / PULLEN line...and I've been successful in tracking the ANDERS / GILL line to Little Rock where descendants now live. My ANDREWS family direct line became known as ANDERS after they moved to Arkansas.
My ggg grandparents were Michael L. ANDREWS b 1797 GA and Parthenia PULLIN / PULLEN b about 1805 GA.You will find the Michael L. ANDREWS household on the 1850 census, Lincoln GA ..but they were in Wilkes earlier. Their daughter Parthenia (shown as Berthena on census) b about 1835 Wilkes GA married 1851 GA to the family overseer George M. HOUSE. (on 1850 census in their household).
It appears, (thanks go Pat Cribbett's research) that Parthenia PULLINs parents are Elijah PULLIN / PULLEN and Rebecca SLACK ..and that Rebecca SLACK is a daughter of John SLACK and Rhody / Rhoda PULLEN.
In that 1850 household is a son William ANDREWS,b Aug 2 1833 Wilkes GA. He married Dec 16 1855 Wilkes GA to Mary Ann Frances GILL, b April 1 1838 GA, died 29 Jan 1917 Little Rock, Pulaski County Arkansas. I was very lucky ...I have been able to track their line to current descendants living in Little Rock AR ...surname of ANDERS. They are completely unaware of their family history ..did not know that their ancestors had family land in Wheatley, St Francis County Arkansas and some are buried there in Posey Cemetery. I made contact just after the male direct line ancestor had died last year ..talked to the very nice widow and hoped to hear from their son Patrick ..but so far no luck in contacting him. Will keep trying.
The ANDREWS family, parents, daughters and sons left Lincoln GA apparently 1856 and went to St Francis / Monroe County Arkansas. Parthenia was married to George M. HOUSE. William had just married to Maryann Frances GILL. Brother Charles ANDREWS was married to an Elizabeth ?, Cornelius was unmarried. Mary Catherine ANDREWS married about 1859-60 to Andrew Jackson MUNNS, Julia Ann ANDREWS mar William MUNNS, and Henrietta Elizabeth ANDREWS married Samuel Riley MUNNS, then James MARTIN and then a COOPER.
Long story ....but I have a ton of information to share, and a lot of it is on the William ANDREWS / Mary Ann Frances GILL line. They had sons, they went briefly to Texas, returned to Wheatley, St Francis AR,son William Jeptha ANDREWS / ANDERS married July 19 1885 Arkansas to Elliott / Ella L. VAUGHN, and their son William Jeptha ANDERS Jr. (they also had other children too) born 1891 St Francis Co AR married Lora ANDERS born MS (I really think she is a branch of the family.
William Jeptha ANDERS, Jr. b Mar 8 1891, AR and Lora ANDERS had 2 sons ..Wilbur J. ANDERS b 1917 Little Rock died 1976 Falmouth, MA (was in the service) and Lawrence Ray ANDERS b 1924 Little Rock AR who died Feb. 2007.
Hope to hear from you to discuss the GILL line. I am showing parents of Mary Ann Frances GILL as Thomas G. GILL b about 1815 GA and Martha J. PULLEN b about 1817 GA ..and they had at least 7 children. (This info thanks to Red Peters, a descendant).
