Re: Family of Elvis Eugene Gillet of Texas

my wife's father was named Elvis Gillit. He died in 1983 and was born 2/6/1943. Elvis was stationed in California. If you are still searching for information please contact me so we can see if this is the same Elvis.

Elvis Eugene Gillit was my dad. He died 3/18/1983 and is buried in Albany Texas. I don't know much about him since I was only 18 months old when he died. My sister and half sister know more about him and that is where I get anything I need to know. If you are still interested you can email me at lacijeffers@amaonline.com.

We may be family! I am also descended from Jacques De Gylet. I have just found a book that mentions him, & have gotten more names. He went to England, & on to Milford, Ct. Maybe we can exchange notes & help each other. Laureen

Ann GILLET -- Marsh, England

michelledavenport42 — 2008-01-31 14:33:19Z

Dear Diane,

I saw your e.mail regarding Gillets from Moreton in Marsh, England. I have been looking for someone who went to Canada, Ontario. not sure of the dates, or name of family. But on my tree I have a Ann Gillet from Moreton in Marsh, who married Noah Robinson 1823. I thought the person who went to Canada could have been a son or daughter from Ann Gillet and Noah Robinson. I don't know if Ann Gillet is related to your Gillet, but if they came from Moreton in Marsh, then there is a good chance. On your side of the Gillet family, do you know if they lived in Canada, Ontario?.

Regards
Michelle Davenport

gillet 1864

grendav2001 — 2007-12-21 12:15:06Z

the following is from the 'stockton and hartlepool mercury'
and dated wednesday 24 august 1864.

a foreign seaman drowned at hartlepool.

mr settle, coroner, held an inquest at the 'turk's head', hartlepool, on monday afternoon, on the body of victor gillet, a french seaman, whose body was found in the victoria dock on sunday. from the evidence of noah nathan, shipbroker, it appeared that deceased belonged to the french fishing smack 'esteile' of dieppe, number 421. that boat was in hartlepool harbour on the 11th, and left on the 13th inst. it came in under stress of weather on the 11th, and was ordered out by the french gunboat which would not allow it to remain longer than the 13th. on the evening of the 13th deceased went on shore with others of the crew, who returned without him at midnight. the captain
and crew, together with sergeant duck, of the county force,
searched for him, but he was not found, and the vessel consequently had to leave without him. police constable joyce stated that about noon on sunday he found the dead body of the deceased floating in the victoria dock. it was very much decomposed, and appeared to have been dead eight or nine days. he obtained assistance and had the body removed to the dead house. there was no money or papers upon the body, and it did not present any marks of violence. the jury returned a verdict of 'found dead'.

Hi Valerie. I tried to email you again. We'll see what happens. Found an old email from another descendant of Linus Sr. dating 2004. Robin Holcomb anholc@earthlink.net
He said he had some pictures. Thought it was worth trying.

Shelia,
I was going to write back to you and ask if you were sure because I also had found them in new york census with children. Would of wrote back sooner but my hubsand has been very ill. Yes I will be interested in a copy of whatever you find. When I get a chance I will send you a copy of the picture I have of 3 of Linus's children.
I couldn't get through to your e-mail either. I don't know what's wrong. My address is Valerie Ducharme, P.O. Box 142, Bomoseen, Vt. 05732
Thanks Valerie

Re: Linus Holcomb & Easter Gillette of Vt and N.Y.

ssmith0942 — 2007-07-19 02:46:42Z

Valerie, I can't get through to your email. I believe I was wrong about where Linus and Julia were married because I see according to the 1870 Washington Co., N Y census, they are already married with children. I plan on taking a trip to Lee County seat next week. If you will send me your mailing address, I will make copies of what I find. Sheila

Re: Linus Holcomb & Easter Gillette of Vt and N.Y.

ssmith0942 — 2007-07-12 21:46:05Z

Hi, I saw you post and I do have info. Linus was married three times, Ester A Gillett, Lucinda Davies, and Julia A Pitts. Lucinda died 25 August 1860, Linus was married to Julia 12 Sept. 1861 in Lee County, Illinois. They had 11 children, three of whom died young. Linus is buried in Amboy, Lee County, Illinos, in Prairie Repose Cemetery. I have a picture of his tombstone. Would you like to swap pictures? I would like to have one of his children. My gg grandpa, Henry Holcomb, was a brother to Linus 1823-1892. Sheila

Re: John Gillet of Newtown, Connecticut

LDalton22 — 2007-06-25 21:55:57Z

Thank you so much for confirming what I suspected. In fact, my great grandfather left behind a journal that states that his grandfather, Abel Ferris Gillette, went to Butternuts to visit a sister. So this makes very much sense. I only have five children for John and Pollyfeme. Do you know the names/dates of their children? Do you by any chance have a marriage date for John and Pollyfeme?
Abel Ferris Gillette was married to Lucy Platt (not Pratt) with whom he had four children. His second wife was Mary H. Perkins which he married on 2 Apr 1843 in Newtown. He divorced Mary, and they had no children. His third wife, Ann Clingham, was from Ireland. Abel and Ann had two children, Lucy and James F.
I very much appreciate any more help I can get in piecing this family together. Thank-You.

Re: John Gillet of Newtown, Connecticut

ron_gillett — 2007-06-24 16:55:40Z

John Gillet , son of Samuel Gillet and Eunice Clark, was bp. 20 Nov 1748 at Newton, Fairfield, CT. - He died 1810 at Butternuts, Otsego, NY. His wife's name was Pollyfeme. They had 9 children including Abel Ferris Gillett born 31 May 1807. Abel married Lucy Ann Pratt 16 Sep 1830. I show 4 children for Abel and Lucy.

John Gillet of Newtown, Connecticut

LDalton22 — 2007-06-23 19:30:49Z

I am looking for a John Gillet who was the son of Eunice (Clark) and Samuel Gillet and lived in Newtown, Connecticut. I do not know the name of John’s wife. His children were Jerusha, Abel Ferris, Anna, Polly, and David, as far as I know. I think this may be the John Gillet baptized in Newtown on 20 Nov 1748. I also believe that this is the descendancy: William Gylet, Jeremiah Gillet, Sgt. Jeremiah Gillet, John Gillet who married Sarah Tryon, Samuel Gillet who married Eunice Clark, John Gillett (who married ?), and Abel Ferris Gillette. My third great grandfather’s, Abel Ferris Gillette’s, history states the Gillet family in Newtown dates back to 1709 when John Gillet (I believe the one that married Sarah Tryon) came from Wethersfield, Connecticut and settled it is believed in the Palestine district. There are several Abel Gilletts and several John Gilletts, etc. I want to make sure I am putting this family together correctly. Any information I can find on these families from Newtown would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, the Linus Holcomb you are talking about is the son of my gggrandfather. By his third wife Julia Pitts. Yes your gggrandfather would of been his uncle. My gg grandfather and your gg grandfather were brothers. Probably born in Washington county N.Y. I would like to find out when they came to IL. and when Linus and Julia were married. I would like to find out who and when their children married. If they owned property and what they did for a living? I would also like to find a picture of Linus which I may never find.
I tried reply to your e-mail address but for some reason it failed.
Thank for any help you can give me and again if I can help you please let me know.

We now have five participants in the Gillet/Gillett/Gillette surname project. One participant uses the Gillet spelling. Two participants are from the USA, one from Canada, and one from France. The fifth is anonymous. The yDNA results show that none of us are related. Two participants do match on 9 out of 12 markers, which is not a close match at all. We need more participants to help us discover family lines. If you are interested please visit our website hosted by Family Tree DNA (www.ftdna.com). Our webpage is at http://www.familytreedna.com/(b3vrbvaniygbfvrkgbzfkb21)/publ...

Hi, I was searching for information and i ran across your post of 2003. I have some info on Linus. I was born and raised in Sterling/Rock Falls, Illinois and my gg grandfather was Henry Holcomb who would be an uncle to this Linus. I found Linus' grave in Amboy, Lee County, Illinois and I have a picture of the grave. He did die in 1892 and was married three times, according to the info I have. I have birth dates on his children but not much else. If you still need info, I could take a trip there this summer. I still have family in the area. Let me know what you are looking for and I will see what I can do. Sheila
