Marty and Karla Grant

!NOTES:Marty Grant's 4th Great Grandfather;


!NOTE:Wilson Gilbert is very likely a son of Joseph Gilbert & Sabra Tyson. I base this on proximity, his birth being within 5 years after they married, and that I have DNA matches with other Tyson descendants (Sabra's maiden name) from the same family.
Also, Wilson Gilbert witnessed the Will of Sabra's mother, Jane Tyson, in 1797. That would have been his grandmother.
Wilson Gilbert was bound out in 1791 which fits for Joseph Gilbert died just before that.

- A big problem is a deed dated 4 Nov 1815 between Ebenezer Elliott of Chatham to Archibald McBride of Moore. Elliott sells McBride a tract of land that formerly belonged to Joseph Gilbert, deceased, sold by Sabra Gilbert the widow,and Benjamin Gilbert, John Gilbert and James Gilbert the heirs of Joseph, to Cornelius Gilbert another AND ONLY REMAINING HEIR at law ... and by him to Elliott.
If the above wording is accurate, then Wilson is not an heir of Joseph. He is certainly related, but apparently not a son;


!BIRTHDATE:
1. No record of his birth date has been found. However, census and other records give us enough for a estimate, though some records don't work well with the others.
2. 1800 census age 16-25, born 1774/1784
3. 1810 census age 26-44, born 1765/1784
4. The above works out to ca 1774/1784.
5. 1820 census - not found
6. 1830 census age 60-69, born 1760/1770. Too old.
7. There is no way to reconcile 1800, 1810 and 1830. However, if we ignore 1800, we can show him born ca 1765/1770. If we ignore 1830 instead, he was born ca 1774/1784.
8. In 1791 he was bound out, meaning he wasn't yet 21, thus born no earlier than 1770.
9. He married in 1799, so assuming he was at least 18 then, born ca 1781 or earlier.
10. Conclusion: Wilson Gilbert was likely born ca 1774/1781. This works with every record except the 1830 census.


!NAME:
Why was he named "Wilson" Gilbert? Was that the surname of an ancestor? There were no Wilsons in his recent family tree on his mother's side, so it must be on his father's side, if at all.

!NOTES:Other researchers claim Esther Smith, d/o Daniel & Pleasant, as the one who married a Mr. Capps in 1797. However, unless there is some evidence I haven't seen yet, I think the one who married Wilson Gilbert in 1799 is the d/o Daniel & Pleasant instead. Reasons:
1. Wilson Gilbert & his wife Esther Smith lived next door to widow Pleasant Smith in census and were neighbors per other records.
2. Wilson & Esther named son Daniel, presumably after Daniel Smith.
3. Wilson & Esther named son Thomas, presumably after Thomas Smith.
4. DNA evidence shows I'm related to these Smiths. Of course that doesn't preclude Esther Smith Gilbert from being from another branch of same family.
