Other Information:
Sorry. I am at work and did not bring location of grave of Jesse T. Gunn. Will
do so later.
This is the information I have:
Frances Martin married Jesse T. Gunn in about 1860.
She had at least two children from a previous marriage: Elizabeth Ann Kitchens
and Thomas Kitchens. (Sorry; I do not have their dates.)
Elizabeth Ann Kitchens married her step-brother, Augustus Gabriel Gunn, on 17
Jan 1869 in Butts Co., GA
Thomas Kitchens married his step-sister, Betse Ann Theresa Gunn, in Butts Co - I
don't have the date.
I recently reeived a large packet of Gunn information that I haven't had a
chance to go through. When I do get that chance, I will send you any further
information I find that might be of help.
