Hi list,
Still trying to prove the parentage of our Hiram Gilson, b. 1808, NH.
Believe he is the son of Eleazar Gilson, b. 1780, Groton (Pepperell)
Mass and either Mary Center/Senter or her sister Abigail. Eleazar was
married to both Senter girls. Hiram was taken to Quebec by his parents
about 1810. He married Elizabeth Hews in 1831 in Hull, Qc. Have found
documents showing Eleazar in Buckingham area and also in Ontario.
Records on Mary and Lucretia state Eleazar is their father. Lucretia
and Mary married two brothers, Etham and Oris Cole in the
Buckingham/Hull, Qc. area, both marriages in 1829. John Gilson, b. abt.
1822 in possibly Kitley, Ontario, m. Jennie Senter, daughter of Isaac
Senter of Thetford, Vt., date of marriage 1859.
Would appreciate EVEN THE SMALLEST BIT OF INFORMATION. Eleazar and
Mary/Abigail would be my husband's grgrgr-grandparents. My husband
never knew any of his grandparents and I would love to find this
information for him.
Thank you for your time.
