• Notes

  (Research):27 NOV 2008 – John Gaither who married Jane Buck is already my 7th great-grand uncle, so making his son Edward the father of Vachel (my 5th great-grandfather) isn't going to change my genealogy significantly. Eva Gaither Thornberry, genealogist for the Society of John Gaither Descendants, believes that Vachel was the son of Edward Gaither, who was the son of John Gaither III and his first wife Jane Buck.  If this proves true, than this Vachel may be the Vachel Gaither who served in Basil William's Company as a 2nd Class in the Revolution.  Vachel probably joined his brothers Richard and Thomas in a migration to South Carolina, before moving on to Columbia County, Georgia.  By 1798 he was in Lincoln County.
