Gilliiland Family Genealogy Forum
  
I am descended from Robert and need help in establishing the lines of his children. I note several postings in this forum regarding these three brothers; perhaps the following will help. A portion of a biography written by James K. Polk Gilliland on Feb. 25, 1904, FYI: Quote. The following sketch of the history of the Gilliland Family was obtained by the writer from his father and grandfather Gilliland and by interviewing various members of the family at different times and places. As related by ... living in ... Scotland. In the 16 century ... migrated to N. Ireland. In the year 1765, three brothers of the Scotch Irish Gillilands, Robert, William and James emigrated to the American Colonies. All settled in Penn. ... After the [CW] Robert moved to SC, William to VA and James remained in Penn. In the year 1800, Robert moved to Tenn ... in Davidson Co. UNQUOTE I'm sure this is "old stuff" to many but its my source to name and location of my ancestor Robert. Hopefully, someone may have already learned the identities of some of these people and can provide me a source for further research.
