Comments:
I have just discovered that my g-g-grandmother through my mother's side was Elizabeth Gilchrist (one reference only and not sure whether that spelling is accurate); she married William Grumont and they had at least one child Henry W. Grumont b. circa 1858 (said to be Ballarat Vic, Aust) but no record found yet. Family developed from there and was strongly rooted in Macedon, Victoria. Of course interested in any info relating to her or her husband, where they originated from, whether in fact they migrated to Australia. Anyway I'll keep an interest in your site.

Earliest Know Ancestors: G.W. [George Washington] Kilcrease
They were from: South Carolina
Born about: March 03, 1812
Comments:
This is my gg-grandfather. He and his wife, Rebecca Ann McKay, lived in Copiah County, Mississippi, where they raised their family. He is listed in the 1870 census with $15,000 in real property.
Tom Gilchrest, just before he died, sent me a wonderful round-up of the family lore concerning the name(s). Until then I had no clue that Kilcrease-Gilcrease-Gilchrist-Gilchrest were seemingly interchangeable. It has heightened the mystery of who were the parents of George. One clue that he was related to Priscilla Amelia is the name of one daughter, Permelia Frances Ann Kilcrease b. December 23, 1847.
Please feel free to contact me.

 

Name: Nancy Broadwater Walsh <nance@swbell.net>
Date: 2004-01-17
Earliest Know Ancestors: Charles M. Broadwater
They were from: Edgefield, SC
Born about: 1827
Comments:
I was searching for my paternal grandfather's first wife and connected to your address. Her last name was Jenkins and possibly the first name of Olivia or Octavia, born around 1890. My grandfather, Henry G Broadwater, and Jenkins divorced in the early 1920's in Alabama. Your information intrigued me as I have a "brick wall" in my Broadwater research. Charles M., my g-g-grandfather lived with a Gilchrist family in Edgefield, SC. He moved around 1850 to Russell County, Alabama and raised his family.
Possibly the Broadwater/Jenkins family were related thus the marriage. This is a very interesting story as we do not know why the couple divorced, but do know that she had two children, supposedly, while my grandfather was in World War I. He came home, they split and my grandmother(his second wife) was constantly harassed for many years by a man and woman claiming to be his children from the first marriage. Hope I have not confused you on any of this....it's quite easy in genealogy, but with the Broadwater and Gilchrist names coming together is strange. Thank you

I am related to the Gilreaths through John and William Gilreath of Granville/Bute County, NC. John Gilreath married Johannah Jones, daughter of Benjamin and Johannah Jones, in about 1771. William Gilreath, Jr., his brother, married Sarah Jones, daughter of Richard Jones brother to Benjamin Jones in about 1779. Both John and William Gilreath migrated from Bute County to Wilkes County, NC in about 1778-1780.

Earliest Know Ancestors: John A. Gilcrease (Gilchrist)
They were from: Alabama
Born about: 1839 died in 1889 in Jackson, AL
Comments:
I can count back 6 generations on our side of the family tree. My dad is Gordon Nelson Gilchrist, my grandfather is Leonard Darrell Gilchrist, my great-grandfather is William Gordon Gilchrist, my great-great-grandgather is John William Gilchrist, my great-great-great grandfather is John A. Gilcrease(Gilchrist), and my great-great-great-great-grandfather is John Gilcrease (Gilchrist). That is as far back as I have been able to trace. I do not know who John Gilcrease's parents were or who his siblings are. I have reason to believe that John Gilcrease could be the brother of Nimrod Gilchrist who came to America around 1751 and settled around the Georgia-South Carolina area. Is there any way you could help me gather more information? I would love to hear from you.
Thanks,
Bridget Gilchrist Bogle, Canton, Texas (I am 22 years old)

Lenora Adams Gill was my Grandmother (1903-1983). Her Mother's parents were Bartley or Bartlin and Mary Gilchrist. Bartley's parents were Tom and Elisabeth Gilchrist. They were from Alabama. Lenora was orphaned at an early age and did not have much information about her ancestry. Consequently neither do I.
You have a good and informative webpage.
