Hi
There is also a son of William's, David who married Lilly Miller.
The above family outline has Isabella (my gggrand) as the daughter of Richard. I've been working her as the eldest of William for the following reasons:
1. Her death certificate lists her father as Wm V. Gilpin;
2. Her obit (1915) lists surviving siblings as David from Patterson, NJ and James from Ireland;
3. She was institutionalized in 1905, her intake papers suggest her parents are still alive at that time which Wm and Eliza are and that she has 3 brothers and 4 sisters.
I have not been able to find a marriage license from her marriage to Thomas Wilson to get some collaboration.
However, another concern I have is that Mary Gilpin McClelland, m to Richard McCelland and living in Patterson, NJ raised Isabella's youngest daughter once she was institutionalized. I've always assumed Mary was her sister.
Above she is listed as a daughter of Richard. However, my Mary has a birth date of Feb 14, 1860 per her passport. I am trying to find her marriage cert to hopefully get some confirmation.
Again, thank you all so much! All of this are new leads to investigate!!
