More Gilliam In-Laws and Outlaws
Picking up from the last two posts, we are going 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), his son Hinchea Gilliam (1663-1734), his grandson John Gilliam (1696-1738) and his great-grandson Hinchea Gilliam (1718-1794). This post will discuss the family tree of Mary Clanton ( my generation's fifth great-grandmother ), who married John Gilliam (1745-1828). This John Gilliam was my generation's fifth great-grandfather and the great-great grandson of the original John Gilliam who immigrated to North America. Like the Gilliams in between, this John Gilliam was born in the Virginia Colony, but he would be the first to begin the migration south and west. The family lines in the Virginia Colony by this time had five or six generations to interconnect and make their mark. Let's see what we know about this "great" grandmother and her family's tree. Mar
