I love you BobJ! You have just taken a whole bunch of pieces of this massive jigsaw puzzle we have been working for years and like magic glued pieces together! We have assumed that Henry and Gillie Golden were brothers for years with no proof. Gillie stayed in Marion County, Georgia while Henry moved on to Pike County, AL. We were going only by dates and children in Pike County being named Gilly! You have brought tears of joy to my eyes!;) Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The Burkhalter family is in Marion County, Georgia at the same time as Gilly Golden. I do have a note that Ann Epsy Burkhalter married Gilly Golden but no marriage record. I have not found who Ann Epsy and Sally Burkhalter's parents are. But in the 1850 Marion County Census is David Burkhalter age 46 listed with wife and children. Next family is John Burkhalter age 88.

Sincerely,
Kathy
