Hi Sami,

I'm looking for the parents and siblings of John GILES. John was born in 1797
(according to his grave marker) in NC (according to the U. S. census). John
married Elizabeth PETTUS on January 28, 1828 in Johnston County, NC. Elizabeth
was born in 1807 (grave marker) in NC (U. S. census).

I suspect John's father was William GILES of Johnston County. But I have no
proof of this. William married Lydia WOOD on August 27, 1793 in Johnston
County, NC.

Have you ever heard of any GILES, WOOD or PETTUS in Johnston County, NC. Have
you ever heard of William GILES, Lydia WOOD, John GILES or Elizabeth PETTUS
anywhere in NC?
