New Series: HILL COUNTRY STORIES TOLD IN STONE

Today starts the series HILL COUNTRY STORIES TOLD IN STONE with a look at three grave markers for ROME GILLILAND, SARAH GILLILAND, and SARAH J. GILLILAND. Two markers, different dates for the same person, and a marker with a nickname for another --- and census reports over the years with a variety of name spellings can, at times, create problems for research.

But maybe I've got these three markers sorted out and in the process I've learned a little more about the heritage of the Hill Country. To read about ROME and SARAH GILLILAND click this link:
