well known for his "homebrew", and also the only individual known
to be able to keep a horse in town, by obtaining a Dr.'s note saying the horse
was for theraputic reasons.

Agnes.
viii. JULIA LENORA GILREATH.
ix. AGNES AUGER GILREATH, m. FLOYD BARRETT.
x. VERNIE-MEDA LUVERNA GILREATH.
xi. MINNIE MAE GILREATH.
xii. ANNIE GILREATH, m. ROLLIE STAFFORD.
Notes for ANNIE GILREATH:
Annie was the child from Thomas's first marriage to Mintie *seen as Drummille
on census* Anderson. From the Whitley county marriage files. There is also
a copy of a handwritten note signed by Cam Anderson giving permission for
his daugher Mintie to wed Thomas.
It has been speculated that there were 2 children from that marriage, but the 1910 census shows the following information:
The children from Thomas and Cynthia are: Annie (13), Minnie (6), Lucille
(2) and Agnes (10/12)*I'm assuming months old*. They answered the census questions
that Thomas has been married 2 times, Cynthia 1 times, they both answered
7 years for marriage length, Cynthia answered that she was the mother of 4
children total, 4 living. With this information, it would show Annie as the
only child of Thomas's first marriage to Mintie Anderson**see note above**.
I do know the marriage ended due to the death of Mintie. That is when Thomas
came to Oklahoma, Wagoner co, and met and married Cynthia E. Dickerson.

I FOUND THIS AND AM TRYING TO FIND IF IT FITS TO MY WASSON'S: I HAVE NOT GOTTEN A COPY OF IT YET.
The will abstracts found in this publication were taken from Will Books 4, 5, and 6 housed at the Clerk's Office of Shelby County, Kentucky. All available information [spouse, children, grandchildren, nephews, brothers, sisters, etc.] is included but legal terminology has been dropped so the Researcher does not have to go through all the 'whereas' and 'heretofros' to find genealogical information. With book and page number, the researcher can obtain a photocopy of the original will from the Shelby County Clerk.
