Daughter of Job Stokes Ledford and Drucilla Whitt Ledford, married Herman Vance Gibbs on June 26, 1911, in Madison County, North Carolina..

The 1930 Census showed, her husband Herman, 41, (farmer), her (wife) 34, Children, Fay, age 15, Rosalie, age 11, Bessie, age 9, Joshua Stokes (J. S.) age 8, and Paul, age 5.

Their daughter Rosalie Gibbs married Henry Fuller Clouse, they married February 6, 1938, Madison County, North Carolina.

From the Gibbs family, I had her name as Lucinda Elmira Ledford. Heard from Jeff Lovelace, # 47081527, he tells me her given name was Cora Ledford.

Although her Death Certificate revealed that her first name was spelled Cora, the inscription on her grave monument shows her first name as "Carra" and her record at the funeral home listed her name as Clara, however Clara has been determined to be a typo.
