The Gilliam In-Laws: Back to Virginia, Part 2
We are circling back to discuss the women married to the Gilliams in our direct line and their families. We started with the women who married John Gilliam (1613-1673), and his son Hinchea Gilliam (1663-1734). In this post, we pick up with his grandson John Gilliam (1696-1738) ( my generation's seventh great-grandfather ), and his great-grandson Hinchea Gilliam (1718-1794) ( my generation's sixth great-grandfather ), both of whom stayed in the James River Basin of Virginia. The families in the Virginia Colony by this time had four or five generations to get interconnected. In some cases, to paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy, "the family tree did not fork". Buckle up and let's see what we know about these "great" grandmothers and their families. Hinchea and Fortune Gilliam's son John (1696-1738) is the next Gilliam in our line. Unfortunately, we do not have much to go on regarding his wife, Sarah. One of the best sources regarding the early Gilliam line
