There appears to be 4 Michael Gilberts listed that are very similar. Two were born in Bedford Co, VA and two in Burke Co NC. The two born in VA were born on 1 Jun 1752. The ones from NC were born "Abt 1752." One from VA and one from SC both died on 1 June 1824. Gilbert 982 has nothing known about parents or spouse. The other three-- Gilbert 604, 216, and 603 have different spouses, children, and parents. Looking at the birth dates, they might be the same person, though. Any research on these people?
