A TUSCALOOSA BICENTENNIAL ROMANCE from Matt Clinton's TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA: Its Early days 1816-1865, page 24: "He (Dr. James Guild) married Agnes, a daughter of Marmaduke Williams, who had represented Tuscaloosa County in the Constitutional Convention of 1819. His son, Lafayette Guild, served on General Lee's staff as medical adviser." Both the Guild-Verner House (1904 University Boulevard) and the Marmaduke Williams House (907 17th Avenue) still stand in Tuscaloosa. Both Dr. Lafayette Guild and his wife were at Appomattox and both of them accompanied General Lee and his army as they traveled back to Richmond after the surrender.  http://robertoreg.blogspot.com/2016_10_23_archive.html
