  	Type: Unknown-Begin
  Note	[William2.FTW] REFN: 3432 Johannah Jones Gilreath was one of seven daughters of Benjamin and Johannah Jones. Although she is not named in her father's will, and the ot her six daughters are, his will gives Johannah Gilreath's husband, John, ful l control over Benjamin's land on behalf of his widow, Johannah Jones. John Gilreath was also a legatee under the will. Johannah Gilreath went with John , her children and her widowed mother to settle in Wilkes County, North Carol ina in about 1780. There John Gilreath joined his father and two brothers wh o had migrated to Wilkes in 1778. On February 6, 1806 she signed an appren tice bond for her daughter Sarah Dougherty's son, John. John was bound until he was 21 to Johannah to 'learn the occupation of farmer' (Wilkes Co., NC WB -2, p. 168) A few months later, on May 9, 1806, she took on another apprenti ce, Usley Robert, 'to learn the occupation of spinster' until she was 18 year sof age (op. cit., p. 179). It is likely that Usley Robert is the orphaned child of one of Johannah's daughters, perhaps another Johannah who does no t appear in known records. Under traditional naming practices, John and Joha nnah's first born daughter should also have been named Johannah. Usley Rober t's name may have a connection with the naming of Johannah's daughter Susanna h Jacoway's son as ' William Ussery Jacoway. '
