I am looking for ?Oceola? Gerald, born approx 1840,married to Amanda Millsaps, with 4 children, Thomas, Oceola, Augustus, Elizabeth. I think he died by 1880 because Amanda was widowed by then. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I believe the Gerald you are looking for is Alfred A. Gerald (b. ~1835 GA d. ? AL). Alfred married Amanda Millsaps in Coosa County, AL in 1858. They had 4 children whom you have listed correctly. I am trying to connect Alfred to my family line of Geralds but have hit many walls. I do know he was a 2nd Lieutenant & later a Sargeant in the Civil War under Capt. Hannon's 53rd Regiment of Company A of the Alabama Cavalry. I am going on a gut instinct that he is the son of my Thomas J Gerald of Georgia (county unknown at this time) who later moved to Coosa County, AL as well. Hopefully this helps & if you are a relative, please let me know as I would love to try to connect Alfred to my Thomas.
