Mary Virginia Mattox
birth: 12 Mar 1819 Elbert County, Georgia
death: 26 Oct 1888 Oglethorpe County, Georgia
Marriage: 16 Dec 1834 Elbert County, Georgia to Richard V Gaulding

The Will of Richard V Gaulding, the husband of Mary Virginia Mattox. His parents are: Alexander Gaulding, III and Nancy Noel
Richard V Gaulding
birth: 3 Apr 1811 Culpepper County, Virginia
death: 4 Jan 1884 Crawford, Oglethorpe County, Georgia

This death date is a little controversial because the Will states that it was probated on 1 Mar 1871, but according to other records, Richard V Gaulding died 4 Jan 1884. It's very strange too because he doesn't mention my Great Grandfather, John Tyler Gaulding or his other son, David Mattox Gaulding in his Will at all. My Daddy always wondered why this was. It could be that my Great Grandfather had moved so far away to Mississippi, but that doesn't explain David Mattox Gaulding not being included in the Will when he stayed in Georgia.
