Welcome to RootsChat 

Julie,

The Robert Gault you mention (c1803-1900) is my third great-grandfather. I have verbal stories about the Gaults of Tamlaght during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Gaults are still at Tamlaght today.

Would love to know what further information you have on the Millers/Gaults. Do PM me.

If you make at least one more post, you can use the PM system yourself to contact Julie in Ohio (who was last online here in December 2020).

Good luck!
