Gilbert was a Private in the 4th. Florida Infantry during the Cival War. There is more about Gilbert and his brothers in the Civil War in the story by Robert France under the notes under their father Barnabus.
When I first went to this cemetery Gilbert and Mary had old stones. Within the last five years someone has put new stones on their graves. I have put the pictures of both headstones.
