Sarah Jones was the daughter of Richard Jones of Granville/Bute/Warren
County, North Carolina. His will lists a daughter as "Sarah Gilreath."
However, some researchers believe that the Sarah Jones who married
William was Saraham Jones the daughter of Benjamin and Johannah Jones.
Their daughter, also named Johannah, married William's brother, John
Gilreath. The question is further complicated by the fact that a James
Jones, on December 3, 1779, signed the bond for the marriage of William
Gilreath, Jr. and Sarah Jones.Benjamin and Johannah Jones had a son
named James who would have been about the same age as William Gilreath,
Jr.
