Dear Fran,
I would be happy to correspond with another Gilruth descendant.
Robert Gilruth was the Director of the Manned Space Program, among many other things.He was my mother's uncle.
I doubt if William is the same William that Roger Oldham is talking about, because that would have been earlier I think.William was born in the 1790s.But if you descend from a common ancestor of Robert Gilruth, it might be descendants of William, Mary or my ancestor James, or perhaps even farther back, which would be cool.
There is one William Gilruth that is the son of Isaac Newton Gilruth but I don't know if the time and places would be right.
