Notes

I. F. Gilbert
Marriage 3 Jul 1887 Hunt County, Texas
Spouse: Mattie Sledge
Source: Texas Marriages, 1814-1909

Family sources tel lus that Mattie Sledge Gilbert died in 1895. In 1900 we find Frank under his firs name Isaac married to a wife named Marerett (Margaret). All the Gilbert children are Mattie Sledge's children. This census says that Isaac and Margaret have been married one year. And we note tha lst chidl is Margaret's child from her firs marriage.

The 1910 census reports him under the more common nmae of Frank, and reports his wife as Martha. Intersting, sicne this was the name of his first wiffe (nickname Mattie). But the age and states of birth indicate this Martha is the same individual as the wife Margaret form 1900. But note that it is reported that "number of years of present marriage" are 26! When we know from other sources and the 1900 census that Frank and hsi second wife married only abotu 1898 or 1899, being married only 1 year in 1900.

They are supposed to have been married 26 years. Maybe the enumerator put the total number of years married from the first marriage. But that doesnot match the first marriage either, since Frank and Mattie got matrried in 1887, 23 years before.

The number of Martha's children here match with Margaret of 1900 also, sicne thes last three Gilbert chidlren are hers and the fourth would be her son Robert Ward, enumerated in the 1900 census as Isaac's (Frank's) stepson.

Buddie at age 9, seems to match closest with the 19-year-old child named Thadeus in the 1910 census. Another child Willie, probably short for William, at age 10, does not appear in the 1910 census. He would llikely have been maried and away in his own household.
