I have a U. M. Gilder in my files that was married to Peggy Ann Ponder.This is probably Uriah Mitchel Gilder mentioned in some of your other replies.He did come to Texas in 1852 from Pile Co. Gerogia.If not the same, then probably a cousin.He evidently traveled to Texas with his brother O. P. Gilder.They were also well off in that U. M. owned a large plantation and a about 200 slaves.O. P. also owned a farm.During the War of Northern Agression (Civil War) they both served in the First Texas Regiment with O. P. listed as a Calvery Lieutenant.
