*Notations
From biography of son in law, Lamartine Bascom Leigh:
Mrs.Olive Gilliam Gatling Leigh is a Daughter of the American Revolution. The Gilliams were pioneer residents of North Carolina and trace their ancestry back through the Blount family to Siegfried, the Dane, first count of Guisne, A. D. 935. In this line comes Harold, fourteenth king of Denmark, from Gonman and Estrude of Flanders, daughter of Arnold the Great, who was the great-grandmother of Matilda, the wife of William the Conqueror. The American branch of the family was founded by Captain James Blount, who went to Virginia in 1655 and died in North Carolina in 1686. His descendants are many in all parts of the country. Charles Worth Blount was a distinguished soldier of the Revolutionary war. One of the descendants of the Blount family married into the Gilliam family of North Carolina. Captain Thomas Howell Gilliam was a distinguished soldier of the Civil war, being commended by his government for gallantry in hoisting the Confederate flag over Fort Moultrie on Sullivan's Island in the face of tremendous danger.
