GAITHER, HENRY. Henry Gaither, son of Edward Gaither and Sarah
Howard, was born on February 23, 1752 in Anne Arundel County,
Maryland. "Certainly before the Revolution he settled in the
Upper District of Frederick which in 1776 was organized into
Washington County. His wife was Margaret Stewart, of South
Carolina, a sister of Gen. David Stewart of Georgia. According to
family tradition, she came to Maryland to visit the Fitzhughs. A
romance ensued and there was an elopement." Their children were:
Susan Gaither, Stewart Gaither, Edward Gaither, Sarah Howard
Gaither, Rebecca Gaither, Catherine Gaither, Louisa Gaither,
Martha Gaither Huyett, Matilda Gaither, Henry Gaither, Henrietta
Gaither, and Juliana Gaither. Henry Gaither died intestate in
1812 and his widow died on June 30, 1845, in Hagerstown, Maryland
(Ref: HWN I-143, 144).
