Daughter of William Even Tigert 1806-1870 and Nancy D. Keith 1809-1880.

First, she married William Blanton Gilliland Sr. 1833-1869 on January 7, 1861 in Van Zandt County Texas and had four children: Virginia Gilliland Slay 1861-aft 1920, Georgia F. Gilliland McClelland Gallaway 1866-1940, Josephine English "Josie" Gilliland Hennessee 1867-1949, and William Blanton Gilliland, Jr. 1870-1943 (later in his life he spelled it Gililland and so have all his children), who was born after his father's death and who is my great grandfather (Mike Lockett).

The memorial for William Blanton Gilliland, Sr. has not yet been located.

Second, she married Thomas Jasper Tarpley 1828-1919 on May 5, 1875 in Van Zandt County Texas and had four children: Nancy Tarpley 1876-1935, James Tarpley 1879-1957, John Edward Tarpley 1880-1966 and Lee A. Tarpley 1883-Unknown. Lee was crippled and lived with his parents and may have also died of the flu in 1919, although some sources say he died in 1961 in Jack County, Texas.

Hannah and her husband Thomas Tarply both died during the flu epidemic of 1919, just six days apart.

She is my 2nd Great Grandmother and William Blanton Gilliland, Sr. is my 2nd Great Grandfather. (Mike Lockett)
