Research Notes

Alt birthdates (sources needed): 13 Oct 1844 and 17 Nov 1840
From Hazel Gillam Faulkner's hand written notes: "I tried to find Grandma Gillam's grave but couldn't find the marker. Mamma always said she was Dutch so I think her ancestors came from Holland."
From Rich Stayer, April 99: "In your notes, or possibly your mom's notes, it was mentioned that Sarah Stuart Gillam's grave could not be located? If you haven't since found her, she is buried in the Broxon Cemetery. Her stone at one time, had a picture of her in it, but time took its toll with weather, or vandals dug it out. It is an abandoned cemetery, and not well taken care of the last i was there. Phoebe Cook Gillam is also buried there. I am sure James Gillam is there also."
