What John Gill is this?
I sent the following email to a researcher at the Richland Co. SC Genweb site:

Subject: John Gill
Hello.My husband's ggggrandfather Rev. George Rice married 3 Aug 1840 in
Ralls Co. MO Mary Gill, who was born in 1820 in Mercer Co. KY, a daughter of
John Gill and Mary Watts.I have read the Genweb Pitman and Gill forums and
see where people have posted that this John Gill came to Mercer Co. from
Richland SC. with his parents John Gill(b. Scotland-died 1788 Mercer Co
KY-left land in Richland Co. SC)and Margaret Pitman who he married 1778 in
Bedford Co. VA.The postings say that he had a brother William b. in
Scotland.
I would greatly appreciate any information you may have on this John Gill
family.
He replied the following:
Anne, this will is in the Richland Co. will index. Gill, John 1 1787-1853 B
19 on link

and if I remember correctly (I don't have a copy of this will), he was only
passing through on a cattle drive.Probate records survived Sherman's
burning of the city, so you can request them directly from Columbia, or from
the SCDAH (the link is on the Richland Co. home page which you can reach
from above).I don't believe this John Gill had any "real" SC connection,
but that is based on reading an abstract of this will over 30 years ago.If
you request a copy, send me a digitization of it to post on the web site.
Regards,
Frank
Does anyone know who this John Gill is he is speaking about?Is it the John Gill Jr. who married Mary Watts in Mercer Co KY and then moved on to Dardennes Twp St Charles Co MO?
Thanks.
Anne
