Janice, thanks for your posting. We have corresponded in the past when you were looking for some descendants of Braddock Gilliam. Hope you had some luck with that.
It seems my Elizabeth/Sarah Elizabeth Gilliam would have a connection to Harris and Amy--besides the affidavit for her pension (war of 1812) they also witnessed her marriage in Jackson Co AL in 1831. But no connection has ever been found. My cousin Martha Jane Kersey Ford in OK descends from Charles Gilliam and Sarah Anne Smith (Harris
and Amy's parents)as well as descending from Elizabeth--neither of us can find a connection. It's quite a mystery. Only thing we can think of, her name could have been left off the list of Charles's children, but that's rather "iffy". I'll keep plugging along. She has to have a family somewhere.
Appreciate your interest, Janice.
