Benjamin Gaither
1744–1788
Donald's 4th great-grandfather · Gaither line (Gertrude Joyce Gaither)
Caution: The tree says Benjamin Gaither died at Leftout, Maryland. WikiTree (Gaither-29) and the Society of John Gaither Descendants say he died in Rowan (later Iredell) County, North Carolina. The tree also holds a second Benjamin Gaither (1740-1804, Rowan), so the two may be mixed up.
