my 4grgrandfather was also a Gilbert who diedasa result of the San Domingue uprising, and he claimed relationship with Lafayette.His name was John Baptiste Gilbert and I think he lived in Port de Paix.His wife and children escaped and eventually my branch ended up in Cuba (Louis Julius Gilbert b there in 1822)then in Philadelphia, Savannah, and California.I'm looking for connections with John Gilbert and wife Marie Boisfeuillet (Georgia c 1812); Louis Julius Gilbert and 1st wife Josephine B. Hosack (Philadelphia c 1844--1858) children Mary, Mark G., Joseph Hosack, John Baptiste, 2nd wife Mary _____ (Philadelphia c 1860) child Lafayette.
Think we overlap?
