Gault Williams married Lagatha (--?--) circa 1927.³

Gault Williams and Lagatha (--?--) appeared on the 1930 Federal Census of at Oklahoma City, at Oklahoma County, Oklahoma at 601 North Western Street (Third Ward), enumerated 4 April 1930, Their ages were listed as 25 and 24, respectively, born in Missouri and Texas, respectively, both married, ages at first marriage were 22 and 21, respectively, both did not attend school the previous year, and both could read and write. The home was listed as rented for $20 per month, and not on a farm. The home was apparently a two-family structure. A radio was not listed as being present in the home. The official date of that census was 02 April 1930. , Gault was listed as employed as an assembler at an auto factory (as a worker). No occupation was listed for Lagatha.³ Between c1935 and c 1940, Gault Williams changed his name to Patrick Williams. After this time, he was more generally known within his family by the shortened form Pat.⁴

Gault Williams appeared on the 1940 Federal Census of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma at 525 1/2 West Mylte, enumerated probably 4 April 1940, as a lodger in the household of Eleanor F Dyer. He was one of 19 lodgers listed in the houshold (in addition to Mrs Dyer and two members of her family). The residence was listed as rented for $75 per month, and not on a farm. As best that can be determined, Gault was not related to any of the other lodgers. The official date of that census was 01 April 1940. , Gault was listed as age 38, divirced, born in Missouri, not attending school in March 1940, having completed 2 years of college, and lived in the same place (Oklahoma City) on 1 April 1935. He was listed as employed, not seeking work, and worked 45 hours during the week of 24-30 March. His occupation was listed as inspector, city health department, as a govenment worker. He reported 52 weeks worked in 1939, $1740 wage income, and other income (other than wages and salary) in excess of $50. The population schedule indicates a farm schedule was not filed for this household (i.e., Mrs Dyer's household).⁵

Gault Williams married Marianna Lynch in 1940 at Butler, Missouri.⁴

Robert LeRoy Gilliatt was apparently primarily known as Howard Fields.³ He was born on 28 June 1919 at Washington, Indiana.^1,3,2

Robert LeRoy Gilliatt served in the US Army Air Force during World War II.³

Robert LeRoy Gilliatt and First Wife of Robert LeRoy Gilliatt were divorced in 1957 at Arizona.¹

Robert LeRoy Gilliatt married Aline Amelia (--?--) circa 30 November 1959 probably at Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona. The marriage affidavit indicates at that time his address was 2517 N. Mitchell Street, Phoenix, Arizona, and her address was 1824 N. 36th Place, Phoenix, Arizona.¹

Robert LeRoy Gilliatt died on 28 June 2002 at Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona, at age 83.^3,2 He was buried at Holy Cross Cemetery, 3039 W. Cactus Road, Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona, following cremation. His obituary indicated he was survived by 10 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren, in addition to the four (step) children.³

His Social Security Number was 316-07-4661.²

Rose Daly was born circa 1915 at Arizona.¹



On 19 February 1935, it appears that Virgil Lindsey Fields (listed as Virgil L Fields) and Rose Daly filled out an affidavit for a marriage license in Yuma County, Arizona. The affadivit was apparently not signed by the county clerk. There is no known specific documentation indicating that a marriage license was ever issued or that a marriage between these two individuals ever took place. BUT, A Virgil Fields (who seems to correspond to this individual) was listed as divorced in the 1940 Census. Both Virgil and Rose stated they were residents of Indio, California (giving the same specific mailingaddress, where the certificate was to be sent following a wedding, of Box 95F, Indio, California). The affidavit gives there ages as 24 and 20, respectively, and their places of birth as Arkansas and Arizona, respectively. Virgil Lindsey Fields's occupation is listed as Steel Worker. Except for his indicated age (24, when at that time he was 20), the information matches up quite well with Virgil Lindsey Fields. However, there is a possibility this license application was filled out by a different person, with a similar name.¹

James W Moss was born circa 1915.¹

James W Moss married Sally Lorriane Fields, daughter of Clarence Fields and Mamie Howard Chamberlain, on 18 June 1939 at Wickinberg, Maricopa County, Arizona. Marriage was performed by Bob C Starns, a Justice of the Peace. Witnesses were Stanley Shivers and Lucille Starns. Home address (town) of each person is given as Phoenix Arizona. Their ages are listed as 21 and 19, respectively. A copy of the completed certificate was to be mailed to the wedded couple on 7 July 1939 at 121 N 11th Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona. An unsourced note in an Ancestry.com "tree" indicates this marriage was later annulled.^1,2

John R Creighton was born circa 1915.¹

John R Creighton married Sally Lorriane Fields, daughter of Clarence Fields and Mamie Howard Chamberlain, on 3 January 1942 at Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona. Marriage was performed by Nat T. McKee, Justice of the Peace. Witnesses were James R Filor and Elizabeth N Filor. Home addresses (towns) of the two principals were listed as Buffalo NY for Creighton and Phoenix AZ for Fields. A copy of the marriage certificate was sent to the couple on 17 Jan 1942 at 3812 Farragut Road, Buffalo NY. However, this copy was returned on 26 Jan 1942 (apparently as undeliverable). The image of the file record contains an note that a copy was made on 19 March 1943 and delivered to "Mrs Fields", presumably Mamie Fields, mother of the bride.¹

John R Creighton and Sally Lorriane Fields (listed as Sally Ceighton) lived at 1073 Market Street, Redding, Shasta County, California, circa 1949. He was (or both of them were) indicated to be associated with a business known as The Dutch Treat, which was apparently a restaurant in Yuba California (perhaps 65 miles roughly south of Redding). Sally's sister, then Elouise Kathrine Fields Davis, was listed as residing at the same address and also worked at (or possibly co-owned) The Dutch Treat.²

Margaret Smith was apparently also known as Ollie Smith.³ She was born on 19 November 1879 in Missouri.¹ She was apparently listed in the 1900 census under the name Ollie Smith and was her birth month, year, and location were listed as in November 1880 in Missouri. An item in her father's Civil War pension file also lists her birth year as 1880 (but other items list 1879). Ollie is presumed to be a nickname. It is possible she had a middle name of Olivia (which is also indicated by an item in her father's Civil War pension file, but another item in the pension file seems to list her middle initial as "D").^3,2

Margaret Smith appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Jackson Township, Greene County, Missouri in the household of her parents, Drewey William Smith and Emily Jane Fields. She was listed under the name of Ollie, age 19, born in November 1880, and single. No occupation was listed.³

Margaret Smith died before 11 October 1928.⁴

Ellen J Smith was also known as Ella Smith.³ She was born on 13 April 1887 in Missouri. The birth year is very difficult to read in the 1915 document in her father's Civil War pension document. The year in that 1915 document could be anything between 1885 and 1889. The year 1887 is used for consistency with the 1900 census and the other two items in the Civil War pension file that list Drewry Smith's children's birth dates.^3,1,2

Ellen J Smith died between 1900 and 11 October 1928.⁴

Ellen J Smith appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Jackson Township, Greene County, Missouri in the household of her parents, Drewey William Smith and Emily Jane Fields. She was listed as age 13, born Apr 1887 in Missouri, single, no occupation listed.¹

Pearl (--?--) was born in December 1880 at Missouri.¹

Pearl (--?--) married Adam Smith, son of Drewey William Smith and Emily Jane Fields, in April 1900.¹

Pearl (--?--) and Adam Smith appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Jackson Township, at Greene County, Missouri, enumerated 21 June 1900. The home was rented and was on a farm. An agricultural census schedule was filed for this household. The official date of that census was 01 June 1900. This census is unique in that month and year of birth were requested for each individual, in additon to each individual's age at the official census date. Adam Smith was listed as age 22 born in Missouri, married 2/12 of a year (although this is difficult to read and somewhat uncertain), and employed as a farmer. Pearl (--?--) was listed as age 19, born in Tennessee, and also (apparently) married 2/12 of a year (both her parents were listed as born in Kentucky). She reported not having given birth to any children. Both members of the household could read, write, and speak English. Neither of them attended school within the past year. Adam's parents were the previous household entered on the census schedule page. A note on the census schedule page appears to indicate these households were in the southern portion of Jackson Township.¹

Patsy Ann Williams was born after 1940.¹

Henry C Wood was born circa 1846 at Indiana.¹

Henry C Wood appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of North Campbell Township, Greene County, Missouri in the household of Drewey William Smith and Emily Jane Fields, at Springfield. He was listed as a roomer, age 74, born in Indiana, occupation: none, and unable to read and write.¹

Adelphia (--?--) married Drewey William Smith, son of James Smith and Margaret (--?--), between 1924 and 1928 at Kansas.¹

In March 1929, Drewey William Smith’s apparent widow, Adelphia (--?--) applied for a payment from the pension office. What she received appears to have been only the amount of his pension that accrued between the time of the last payment that he received and the time of his death. There is very little in the file concerning Adelphia (--?--). She does not appear to have received (or applied for) a continuing regular monthly payment based on Drewey William Smith’s army service (and may not have been eligible for one, following a relatively short marriage entered into late in his life). But, she does seem to have resumed receiving a Civil War widow's pension based on the service of her first husband. Her address was listed as 217 So. First Street, Iola, Kansas.²
