Kate’s Notes: By this news snippet it is not clear whether Mrs. Gilliland moved to Callahan County before or after her marriage to Mr. Gilliland. There were quite a number of Gillilands in early Callahan County, Texas, so any additional information that would provide a more specific identity for Mrs. Jennie Gilliland would be welcome. Just drop me a line at hpuppet@verizon.net
