At current time wikitree has siblings [Gaines-77|William Henry Gaines] (1705-1796) and [Gaines-913|Henry William Gaines] (1731-1796) both married to Mariah Woods (Henry b1731 links her as spouse, William b1705 calls her spouse in bio). Could someone untangle these two?
John The information I uploaded supports that William was not William Henry he was just William. Are there any other documented facts that should be considered? I also wanted to let everyone know if this has been disproven or inaccurate due to DNA or documentation please let me know.
Note: "I am convinced that William, as all records originating in his lifetime call him, was not 'William Henry.' He was born probably about 1710, when middle names were practically unknown in Va. When Mrs. Clotworthy began her work in 1885, he was supposed to have been Henry Gaines (tradition). Later she found that he was called William; so it seems, something like a century after his death (1791 or possibly late 1790), he became William Henry." by Dr. Kelly 7.
