John Gililland1,2,3

| Father | John E Gililland b. c 1700 |
| Mother | Jane (?) |
John Gililland The John-Hannah Gilliland evidence spells the surname Gilliland. It supplies Germany Valley, PA as location, but I have been unable to locate such a place. There is a Germantown, PA in Adams Co, not far from York Co. There is a section of York Co with German names, notably Hanover. Conceivably the German part of Adams Co could have formerly been part of York Co. Nevertheless I have maintained the Germany Valley, PA listing for John and Hannah's children, when lacking anything else.
The John-Agnes family record sheet has, on its reverse side, the following notes by Maurine Webb, the compiler:
"From the book: The Loving Irish, p 199d

John E Gililland1,2,3
M, b. circa 1700
He made a will at York, Pennsylvania, USA.4 John E Gililland The Gililland name:
(The following items are simply quoted with no attempt at clarification or criticism, or analysis of contradictions and affirmations)
According to "The Book of Ulster Surnames" by Robert Bell, The Blackstaff Press, Belfast, 1988.
p77:
"GILLAN ...
"The key element in the Gaelic forms of Gilligan and gillan is the word 'giolla', meaning 'lad'. ... Gilligan and Galligan have both been made Gillan or Gillen, as has Gilliland, a variant of MacClelland (see MacClelland)."
pp142-143:
"MACCLELLAND
"... this Scottish Lowland name is common only in Ulster, where it is farily well distributed, main centres being in counties Antrim, Down, Armagh, Derry and Monaghan.
"The name in Scotland was in Gaelic originally Mac Gille Fhaolain, 'son of the devotee of (St) Fillan'. It is recorded as numerous in Galloway (whence hailed so many of our Plantation settlers) from the end of the fourteenth century. Its original anglicised form was Maclellan and the family gave their name to Balmaclellan in the Stewartry.
"Sir Robert MacClelland of Kirkcudbrightshire was one of the nine chief Scottish undertakers of the Plantation of Ulster. He was initially granted lands in the baronies of Boylagh and Banagh in Donegal but sold his property there to John Murray in 1616. He married a Montgomery and settled in the old O'Neill lands in Down to which he brought many of his MacClelland relatives as tenants. He leased lands in Derry adjoining portions of the London guilds of Haberdashers and Clothworkers and administered them from his castle at Ballycastle in Co. Antrim. At the time of Petty's 'census' in 1659 the name MacClelland was most numerous in the baronies of Keenaght and Coleraine in Derry and (as MacClellan) in the Co. Antrim barony of Belfast.
"In the mid-nineteenth century the main Co. Antrim concentration of the name was in the barony of Upper Antrim, and in Down in the barony of Upper Iveagh, especially near Banbridge, with Cleland mainly found in the parish of Kilmore in Upper Castlereagh.
"The name is also found in the forms MacClellan, MacLellan, MacLelland, Gilliland, and so on."
From "The Loving Irish - The Gillilands", p1:
"The Gillilands trace their genealogy back to the highlands of Scotland. It is recorded that a William Gilliland took part in a battle in 1676 between forces of the King of England and the Scotch.The king won and "Willy" had to flee for his life. He landed in the Northern part of Ireland. This background is given by the descendants of one John Gilliland, born Antrim County, Northern Ireland, in 1706.
Other authorities stress the Irish origin of the name. The Historical Research Bureau, 6829 4th St., N.W., Washington, D.C., traced the family name for the late Mrs. Arthur Wallace Gilliland (see ...). The Bureau traced O'Gillegan; O'Gilgan; Gilligan; Gillgan; Gillan; O'Gillain; Gillane; Gillan; Gilland; Gillon, Gillen, is from the Gaelic "giallain" - a little youth; that the family was originally a sept of Cinel Eoghain which became dispersed throughout Galway and Roscommon in the 17th century... the founder of the family was Irial, son of Conal Kearach of the Glanna Rory tribe, and fifth in degree from Rory O'More, chief of Ulster (...) who gave the tribe its name BC87. The ancient name, according to one writer, was Gilligan, signifying - the obedient."
The John and Hannah Gilliland lists John Gilliland II's father and mother as James (John) E GILLILAND and Jane.
The John-Agnes family record sheet has, on its reverse side, the following notes by Maurine Webb, the compiler:
"From the book: The Loving Irish, p 199d

4. William b. 12 Jun 1753 York Co., PA d. 7 Jul 1817 m. 1. Elizabeth McIlvain 2. Margaret McCundy"
But notice the following from the same compiler (Gililland Research):
p3: "John Gilliland b. 1706 Antrim Co., Ireland d. Chester Co., PA, m. Hester Romar of Holland. Children: Thomas - KY; Hugh; Adam 1800 census KY; Andrew; Robt; John & James pensioned in TN; Jane; Mary; Sarah."
Therefore we have a clash between John of Ireland who married Hester and John of Ireland who married Jane. Both had son John about the same time. Both died in PA.
More on the Gililland history, from p3 of Gililland Research:
"The Gilillands called themselves Scotch-Irish, mostly Presbyterian. When King James I was replaced by James II he was Roman Catholic and wanted to restore the Catholic faith in England. 30 Jun 1688, 7 prominent Englishmen invited Wm. of Orange, the leading protestant in Europe (France) to bring an army of liberation to Eng. 5 Nov 1688 Wm. and a force of 15,000 landed at Torbay. James II fled to France. Wm of Orange, his wife Mary (eldest daughter of Charles I) were proclaimed joint sovereigns of Eng. 1690 William of Orange led the army which defeated James II and his Irish partisans in the battle of Boyne in Ireland. The custom of Irish Catholics is to wear green on St. Patrick's Day, No. Irish, including the Gilillands wear Orange to venerate Wm. of Orange and his brave pioneers."

JAMES SANDERS Sr1,2
M, b. 17 July 1716, d. 17 May 1834
| Father | ?ROBERT SAUNDERS b. c 1690, d. a 25 Jun 1766 |
| Mother | (?) SPRATLEY |
JAMES SANDERS Sr Yes, he died at 117! From the Raleigh Register [North Carolina] of June 17, 1834 under Deaths: "In Rockingham County, Mr. James Saunders, at the almost incredible age of one hundred and twenty years!" The information about his children is from family Bible records. [Source of the newspaper clipping and Bible records of the Sanders Family is a letter from Teresa S. Wilson, 4419 Phillips, Wichita Falls, TX 76308, sen 14 Sep 1990 to my mother Edith Smith.] The spelling Saunders is a variant of Sanders. Teresa Wilson says "Although the SANDERS was spelled both ways in county records, our early Sanders family seemed to spell it SANDERS and pronounce it Saunders (SAHN - ders). My family eventually started spelling it Saunders." [Teresa is 7 generations removed from James Sanders Sr. in a direct line.]
Teresa writes: "Mrs. Fletcher King, long time Sanders family researcher. believes he is the son of Robert Sanders (died 1766) of Halifax County, VA who was believed to be son of James Sanders/Saunders who died about 1700."
The Teresa Wilson Wiese Family Group Sheet evidence cites the following:
"SOURCES FOR BIRTH AND DEATH: The family Bible record of James and Alice Sanders is the main source for the birth and death dates for James and Alice. According to the Bible record, James was born in 1716 and died in 1834, at the age of 117 (almost 118!) This fact is supported by a reference in the RALEIGH REGISTER newspaper on June 17, 1834, page 3, column 4: "Deaths. In Rockingham county, Mr. James Saunders, at the almost incredible age of one hundred and twenty years!"
PLACE OF BURIAL: From source (c), "He was buried on his farm in a family cemetery that continued to be used by members of his family for many years."
SOURCES FOR MARRIAGE: (a)The name of the wife of James is given as "Alice" in the family Bible. No marriage record has yet been found. Alice's maiden name is not stated in the Bible. The date or place of their marriage is also not known. James Saunders was probably in Rockingham Co., North Carolina by 1767 (per Court minutes in Roc. Co.). The first child of James and Alice, James Jr., was born 7 Oct 1768 (location unknown, though probably Rockingham County, N.C.). The date of his birth would imply that James and Alice were married by January 1768, possibly earlier. It is entirely possible they were married before they left Virginia, or that James met and married Alice in North Carolina.
OCCUPATION: Farmer; owner of a mill on Bold Run Creek, an eastern tributary of Rock House Creek. (c)
...
MILITARY RECORD: There is no record that James ever served in the military and considering his advanced age at the time of the American Revolution, it would be very unlikely. However, according to source (c) page 64, he did allow Revolutionary troops to camp on his farm:
"After the Battle of Guilford Court House on March 15, 1781, General Greene's men returned to Speedwell Iron Works. On March 16, Colonel William Washington and Captain Robert Kirkwood marched their troops to James Saunders' farm and encamped there on the 16th, 17th, 18th and on the morning of the 19th they marched south toward Guilford Court House. Captain Abraham Phillips accompanied the troops as guide some distance east of Guilford Court House and then returned home. Although the Saunders farm was the site of a ford across Rock House Creek and the sourthern part of the farm lay on a high bluff overlooking the confluence of several creeks, the site would seem more important as a campsite if Saunders had erected his mill before this date."
SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS: Lived to be 117 years old.
PLACES OF RESIDENCE: Halifax County, Virginia in 1752, on Little Creek on the south side of Childry's creek (q) Rockingham County N.C., by 1767 (c)(i)

"The James Saunders Mill
The Saunders Mill was located on Bold Run Creek, the largest eastern tributary of Rock House Creek. The millsite is approximately one-half mile west of the bridge on State Road #2371 (Gunntown Road). The mill dam was located one-fourth mile below the "Indian Cave." Nearby Rock House Creek apparently took its name from this small cave...
James Saunders settled in the area by the 1770's. Sometime prior to 1778 he purchased land from William Hill that included several acres of rich creek bottom land at the confluence of Brush Fork and Rock House Creek. On November 21, 1778, Saunders entered a claim for 500 acres of vacant state land adjacent to his deeded land. This tract of land was surveyed by Abraham Phillips on February 1, 1780, and granted to Saunders on October 22, 1782. This land lay north of Abraham Phillips' 500 acre state grant and included the millsite, and more bottom land on Rock House, Bold Run and Haw Branch.
There is no mention of Saunders Mill until 1809; however, there is a possibility it was constructed before 1781. After the Battle of Guilford Court House on March 15, 1781, General Green's men returned to Speedwell Iron Works. On March 16, Colonel William Washington and Captain Robert Kirkwood marched their troops to James Saunders' farm and encamped there on the 16th, 17th, 18th and on the morning of the 19th they marched south toward Guilford Court House. Captain Abraham Phillips accompanied the troops as guide some distance east of Guilford Court House and then returned home. Although the Saunders farm was the site of a ford across Rock House Creek and the sourthern part of the farm lay on a high bluff overlooking the confluence of several creeks, the site would seem more important as a campsite if Saunders had erected his mill before this date.
As early as 1786 James Saunders began selling tracts of his land. He continued selling land into the early 1800's mostly to members of his family. In 1790 he owned no slaves but in the 1810 census he is listed as the owner of four slaves. On October 12, 1810, he gave his daughter Jane two slaves. Saunders deatht date is unknown. He was buried on his farm in a family cemetery that continued to be used by members of his family for many years.
On November 26, 1800 James Saunders sold his son William a 363 acre farm including the mill. In 1810 William Saunders sold 200 acres of this tract to Thomas Lytle...(continues with various owners of the mill)
Both ends of the Saunders' Mill dam remain with the center section washed out. The millsite is approximately 200 yards below the rock dam on the south side of Bold Run. Only a small pile of rocks mark the site of the mill."
WILL: No will has been found for James Sanders. It is believed he had already deeded all of his land and property to relatives before his death.

JAMES was born at Virginia, USA, on 17 July 1716.3,4,5 He married ALICE (?) before 7 October 1768. 7 Oct 1868 is birthdate of first child James Jr.6,4,5 He sold property at 363 acres on Great Rock House Ck, Rockingham, North Carolina, USA, on 26 November 1800.7 JAMES died on 17 May 1834 at Rockingham, North Carolina, USA, at age 117.8,4,9,10,5 His body was interred at Rockingham, North Carolina, USA. From Robert Saunders Family Group Record:
"PLACE OF BURIAL: From source (c), 'He was buried on his farm in a family cemetery that continued to be used by members of his family for many years."
where source (c) is:
"Robert W. Carter, Jr., "Mills in Simpsonville Township: Part III," The Journal of Rockingham County History and Genealogy, Vol. IV, No. 2, December 1979 (James Saunders Mill on pages 63-67)".11
Teresa writes: "Mrs. Fletcher King, long time Sanders family researcher. believes he is the son of Robert Sanders (died 1766) of Halifax County, VA who was believed to be son of James Sanders/Saunders who died about 1700."
The Teresa Wilson Wiese Family Group Sheet evidence cites the following:
"SOURCES FOR BIRTH AND DEATH: The family Bible record of James and Alice Sanders is the main source for the birth and death dates for James and Alice. According to the Bible record, James was born in 1716 and died in 1834, at the age of 117 (almost 118!) This fact is supported by a reference in the RALEIGH REGISTER newspaper on June 17, 1834, page 3, column 4: "Deaths. In Rockingham county, Mr. James Saunders, at the almost incredible age of one hundred and twenty years!"
PLACE OF BURIAL: From source (c), "He was buried on his farm in a family cemetery that continued to be used by members of his family for many years."
SOURCES FOR MARRIAGE: (a)The name of the wife of James is given as "Alice" in the family Bible. No marriage record has yet been found. Alice's maiden name is not stated in the Bible. The date or place of their marriage is also not known. James Saunders was probably in Rockingham Co., North Carolina by 1767 (per Court minutes in Roc. Co.). The first child of James and Alice, James Jr., was born 7 Oct 1768 (location unknown, though probably Rockingham County, N.C.). The date of his birth would imply that James and Alice were married by January 1768, possibly earlier. It is entirely possible they were married before they left Virginia, or that James met and married Alice in North Carolina.
OCCUPATION: Farmer; owner of a mill on Bold Run Creek, an eastern tributary of Rock House Creek. (c)
...
MILITARY RECORD: There is no record that James ever served in the military and considering his advanced age at the time of the American Revolution, it would be very unlikely. However, according to source (c) page 64, he did allow Revolutionary troops to camp on his farm:
"After the Battle of Guilford Court House on March 15, 1781, General Greene's men returned to Speedwell Iron Works. On March 16, Colonel William Washington and Captain Robert Kirkwood marched their troops to James Saunders' farm and encamped there on the 16th, 17th, 18th and on the morning of the 19th they marched south toward Guilford Court House. Captain Abraham Phillips accompanied the troops as guide some distance east of Guilford Court House and then returned home. Although the Saunders farm was the site of a ford across Rock House Creek and the sourthern part of the farm lay on a high bluff overlooking the confluence of several creeks, the site would seem more important as a campsite if Saunders had erected his mill before this date."
SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS: Lived to be 117 years old.
