Franfort, Ky.
The only people of this name appearing in the 1800 Maryland Census are
Margaret Gillalan [p. 163] & Hestor Gillerlin [p. 180], both residing in
Frederick Co., but no John. There is little doubt that Hestor was the
widow of John Gilliland (1706-1790), who resided in Chester Co., Pa., at
least as early as 1765 and probably died in Frederick Co., Md.
We know that John died on the way from Chester Co., Md to his daughter's
in Frederick Co., Md, but we don't know exactly where (my note, L.
Herrin; see notes for John Gilliland).Children:
- GILLILAND PETER
- GILLILAND JAMES
- GILLILAND JACOB was born in 1743; died in in South Carolina; was buried in South Carolina.
- GILLILAND JOHN III was born about 1745 in Pennsylvania; died in 1795 in Jefferson County, Tennessee; was buried in Fort Wear, Jefferson County, Tennessee.
- 3. GILLILAND JANE was born on 15 Oct 1764; died on 21 Dec 1849 in Greene County, Tennessee; was buried in Dec 1849 in Greene County, Tennessee.
