Hello all: I am new to this list. I am searching for information on a Silas
Gifford.
FamilySearch.com says he was married in Tipton Co. Silas S.
Gifford married a Mary Jane Williams in March 6, 1876. Six of eight
children were supposedly born in Tipton Co. Scott Burdette Gifford b.
12/2/1877, Will b. 12-2-1879, Ike b. 2-24-1881, John b. 1-13-1883, Oscar b.
1/5/1887 all born there. Silas and his family moved to TN between 1887 and
1889. Silas died in 1921 in Dyer Co. , TN. His death certificate shows
parents "unknown" No family records to be found. Silas was born
12/25/1852/53 somewhere in OHIO. According to TN census, his father was born
in NY. Mary Jane Williams Gifford died April 2, 1911, however I cannot
locate any death certificate on her in TN. Makes me wonder if she maybe died
in Indiana. Family states they did wander about a bit. Any leads at all
would be greatly appreciated......Also, I live in TN. If anyone on the list
needs a lookup for the middle TN counties of: Montgomery, Stewart, Houston,
Humphreys, Benton or Henry, let me know and I will give it a shot. Thank you
very much for any help you may be able to offer.
