Pvt. Lewis Allen Gerald, (CSA)

Lewis A. Gerrald was the son of Samuel Gerrald and Zilphia Lewis Gerrald. His wife was Margaret Gerrald Gerrald, daughter of Henry H. Gerrald and Patience Floyd Gerrald.

From several census is seems that in-laws Henry and Patience were living within the same household as Margaret and Lewis, hence some confusion about his parentage. Do not attach Henry H Gerrald and Patience Floyd Gerrald as the parents of Lewis Gerrald. SFG
