Does anyone know what happened to either of
these ladies who emigrated to USA from Bracknell, Berkshire, England in the 1900s

Gilkerson's in Pennsylvania in 1740?

joeteresagarrett — 2009-06-10 13:48:36Z

I'm working on a lead that says that John Armour's wife, Susannah, was a Gilkerson. She would have been born in 1744, supposedly in Pennsylvania. Were there any Gilkerson's in Pennsylvania during that time?

I am sure we are related, like you, i'm not so sure how far back. I did trace back to Archibald on my side as well. I have more information coming but it is slow as i'm sure you've experienced. It's been a while since i've checked this site. I will post more when it becomes available.

I have not long subscribed to Ancestry and don't know if you are still working on the Gilkersons. Amelia (Amilia) was my Grandfather's sister and Lily was his half sister and therefore Amelia's - known in the family as Mim - halfsister too. They were born in Bracknell/Wokingham area of Berkshire England. Do you have any information on Amelia? I have some on the Gilkersons.

William Gilkerson

2005-09-24 18:54:00Z

Hello Joy,

I have William Golkerson as John & James' father:

born 1720 in Scotland
Died in Fleming County, Virginia which is now Kentucky.

The Gilkerson/Gilkison/Gilchrist family traces their ancestral roots back to Dalriadian origin, and first appeared in ancient medieval records in Angus
GILKERSON Shield: Blue with a gold sun, two crosses and a star in base. GILKERSON Crest: A rising sun.
GILKERSON motto: "I hope to speed"

from Coffinberry genealogy

p. 31 - "In the beginning the Gilkisons migrated from Scotland to the north of Ireland. From there two brothers came to America and landed at North Carolina. One of these brothers afterwards settled in Virginia and one in Greenup County, Kentucky. He had three sons named Jonathon, James, John." p. 57 - "T. Mortimer Gilkison sends in the following data:
My great-grandfather was born in Scotland (am quite sure his name was William) and came to America as an orphan at about fifteen years of age and settled in Virginia.

This is what little I have on James. Does it match yours?
died Scioto County, Ohio.
Married Elizabeth Currens 9 Sept. 1783 in Greenbriar County, Va.

Regards,
Susan

Gavin Gilkerson ~ Banished to America in 1684

BasketLady420 — 2006-01-26 01:08:09Z

Gilkerson, Gavin. Monkland.

Covenanter. Prisoner in Edinburgh, Tolbooth. Banished to the Plantations, 5 may 1684. Transported to America by George Lockhart, merchant in New York, James Glen, stationer burgess in Edinburgh, and Thomas Gordon, burgess of Edinburgh, 16 May 1684.
(PC)

I am not related to this person, I am just passing on this information, which comes from a book titled "Scots Banished to the American Plantations 1650-1775" by David Dobson. Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. Baltimore. 1983. pg. 57.

Re: Thomas Gilkerson - Augusta Co.,VA (1860)

dacoe — 2005-09-22 03:25:54Z

Rick,

I have learned quite a lot since I wrote that query back a few years ago. My gg-grandfather, Thomas E. Gilkerson was born Oct-09-1834 and died May-6-1900 in Churchville, VA. His father was Hugh B. Gilkerson born Oct-1800 in Augusta Co and died May-23-1881 in Elk Run, Va. His mother was Matilda Hogshead born Sep-1806 in Augusta Co. and died June-10-1898 in Churchville, VA. Hugh Gilkerson's father was Francis Gilkerson.

Thru my research most of the Gilkerson family in Augusta County can trace its roots back to Archibald Gilkerson who came to Augusta County sometime before 1767 from PA. There more than likely will be a connection between our two families but I am not sure how far back it will be before they connect. I look forward to hearing more about your Gilkerson family and how we are connected.

"History of Barnet", William Gilkerson, Agnes Somers

goobertoo — 2005-03-28 22:49:59Z

If anyone out there has the History of Barnet, Vermont book (Frederic Palmer Wells, 1923), I could use some help figuring out who is who.

On page 443, it says that William Gilkerson married Agnes Somers, dau of Bartholomew Somers.

On page 615 though, Agnes is named as a daughter of Robert Somers, and sibling to Bartholomew, Robert, Jane, Jennette and Marion.

Does anyone know which is correct?
