Hi cousin John, I live out in Southern calif. and just started working on my Gillenwater family background.I am also a descendent of thomas and Elizabeth, although it took me quite some time to find them, seems there are many different spellings.
My line is such Thomas, his son Joshua, his son Absalom,and his John, John's son Edward,... John's son Edward born in 1863, the third born of John Gillenwater and Nancy Wotens, is my Great Grandfather, he married an Estella Albright in Indiana in 1895. They moved out to California with their daughter's and son and settled in Long Beach CA, where ny Grandmother Lois was born in 1908, Edward was in Real Estate in Seal Beach, and Long Beach.
Most of the family has died off and in fact no contact with relatives from this side.
So that makes Thomas my great grandfather 6 generations removed.It is also my understanding that Thomas Gilinwater (my greatgrandfather spelled his Gillenwater) was born in 1700 in VA, died in Albemarle VA married Elizabeth Marcum Nov 12, 1721 in same.
Would love to share any info about our family.
thanks,
heather
