Research Notes
Its unclear if Unknown Gully ever existed, and was probably never married to William Bird. As far as can be determined, William Bird was only ever married to Ann Roylance Bird
Searching the text of Pioneers and Prominent Men of Utah, the name Gilly is not found. But Ann Roylance and William Bird are found on page 1144, under her father John.
