Let me know if you know anything of this information. My great grandmother was Luraney (spelled several different ways) Gilson who married William Brown in Talbot County, Ga., about 1850 or so. Think her father was Samuel Gilson. If you know anything about the mother of this baby having a connection to my Luraney, let me know, maybe a sister to Luraney?
