E. V. Giles

b. 18 January 1853, d. 12 August 1887

E. V. Giles was born on 18 January 1853 in Georgia.
Wade Hampton Giles and Sarah Vincent appeared in the US federal census of 1 June 1860 in Anderson PO, Grimes County, Texas. Other members of the household included E. V. Giles, James S. Giles, John J. Giles, William S. Giles, Egbert B. Giles, Mary E. Giles, Nancy Sarah Giles, H. W. Giles, George H. Giles and Henry Green Giles. Initials representing names of children are difficult to decipher, and ages differ from other censuses. There is a "John M. Giles" (age 12) between George and Henry who was not present in the 1850 census -- perhaps Wade's nepher Charles (?)
Henry Green Giles and Susan C. Taliaferro appeared in the US federal census of 1 June 1880 in Anderson Precinct, Grimes County, Texas. Other members of the household included E. V. Giles, Charles M. Giles, Mary Ann Spinks, James L. Giles, Lewis H. Giles and John J. Giles.
He married M. A. Kelley on 29 December 1884 in Grimes County, Texas.
E. V. Giles died on 12 August 1887 at age 34.
His wife M. A. Kelley became a widow at his death.
He was interred at Fairview Cemetery, Grimes County, Texas.
Although E. V. Giles in the 1860 census appears to be a son of Wade and Sarah Giles, he is identified in the 1880 census as a nephew of Wade's son Henry Green Giles, so he may actually have been a grandson of Wade and Sarah (?)
