     Robert Gililland p 1 of Gililland Research notes:

"Robert:
1850 - Lincoln Co; MO Census
b. 1807, m. Ann Moore, b. 1809, KY.
Children: Ben - b. KY, John - b. MO, 1830; Mary A, Martha 12, Eliz. 10, Wm. H 8, Robert D. - 6, Matilda 3, Geo. W. - 5 mos. [ambiguously 1800 KY - Robert - age 43, but this might be a separate census listing]"

p2:

"I believe our John [JOHN RICHARDSON GILILLAND] is the older brother of Mathias, perhaps Robert. They can probably be found in KY or PA. They were too young to serve in the Rev. War but their father could have served. Land Applications list the names of wife and children, birth dates and place of birth. I have not searched these."

From Kentuckians in Missouri evidence:

p 151: Under "SIMPSON COUNTY" [place of origin in KY]:
     
"BIRTHDATE: 27 May 1830, NAME OF BIOGRAPHEE: Benjamin A. Gililland, PARENTS/BIRTHPLACE/BIRTHDATE: Robert & Annie (Moore) Ky10/Ky09, SOURCE/PAGE: LINC 543, FIRST MO.CO. [empty], DATE: 1830"

where source "LINC" is: " 'History of Lincoln County, Missouri, From the Earliest Time to the Present ...', Chicago: The Good speed Publishing Company, 1888."

[Listed under "Gilliland" (sic) in index]

From "The Loving Irish - The Gillilands", p 142, quoting the 1850 Lincoln Co, MO Census:

"Robert, age 43, wife Ann Moore. He was a farmer. b. Kentucky, 1810. His wife was b. 1809. All their children were b. Mo., except Benjamin, age 23, b. Kentucky. The rest were: John R., 20; Mary A. 14; Martha, 12; Elizabeth, 10; William H., 8; Robert D., 6; Matilda, 3: and George W., 5 months. Census taken Sept. 11, 1850"

The 1830 Lincoln Co Census has:

Robert Gilliland 2M <5, 1M 20-<30, 1F 20-<30

[quite difficult to read]

Note that the 1850 data implies that, for 1830, Robert would be 20 (or 23), Ann would be 21, Benjamin 3, John R just born and no others. This is consistent with the 1830 census data.

The 1840 Lincoln Co Census has:

Robt Gililland 2M 5-<10, 1M 30-<40, 2F <5, 2F 5-<10, 1F 30-<40

The 1850 data implies that, for 1840, Robert would be 30 (or 33), Ann would be 31, Benjamin 13, John R 10, Mary 4, Martha 2, Elizabeth either just born or not yet born. The parents fit, the 2 youngest daughters fit, but the others don't. We might account for the 2M simply having been put one column wrong, but the 2F 5-<10 are a puzzle.

The Gililland Tree website lists:

"Robert Gilliland KY m Annie Moore Simpson KY
Robert Gilliland 43 M (1807) KY
Anne 43 M (1807) KY came to Lincoln Co 1830 [clearly should be F]
Benjamin 22 M (1828)
John R. 20 M (1830)
Mary A. 14 F (1836)
Martha 12 F (1838)
Elizabeth 10 F (1840)
William H 8 M (1842)
Robert 6 M (1844)
Matilda 3 F (1847)
George W. 5mo. M (1849)"

Robert Gililland's will, 21 Mar 1873 lists his wife Anne and the following children:

1. Benjamin A Gililland
2. John R Gililland
3. Charity E Holly
4. Elizabeth F. McGlossen
5. Matilda M VeerKam or VeerKamp
6. Robert S Gililland
7. George W Gililland
8. Martha Ross

and his grandson Stephen D Hudson.

Here is my reading of the 1850 MO census, Lincoln Co., District No. 49, roll 404, p 421, dwelling 420, family 420:

"Robert Gilliland 43 M Farmer 2000 Kentucky
Ann " 43 F " [KY]
Benjamin " 22 M Mechanic " [KY]
John R " 20 M Laborer Missouri
Mary A " 14 F " [MO]
Martha " 12 F " [MO]
Elizabeth " 10 F " [MO]
William H " 8 M " [MO]
Robert D " 6 M " [MO]
Matilda " 3 F " [MO]
George W [or N or M] " 5/12 M " [MO]." Robert was born at Simpson, Kentucky, USA, circa 1807. The Gililland Research evidence gives his birthdate as 1807. The LDS family group sheet evidence gives his birthplace as Indiana PA, 1807. The birth info for wife Annie is in agreement between the different evidences, but not for Robert, so it is still in question.

The 1850 Census info quoted in The Loving Irish evidence gives his age as 43 (implies 1807) but then says he was born 1810!
.^{7,8,2,9,10,11} He married Anne "Annie" Moore circa 1826. Son Benjamin b abt 1827.^12,11 Robert was listed as the head of a family on the in 1830 Census at Lincoln, Missouri, USA.³ Robert was listed as the head of a family on the in 1840 Census at Lincoln, Missouri, USA.⁴ Robert was listed as the head of a family on the in 1850 Census at Lincoln, Missouri, USA.¹¹ Robert died in 1873 at Lincoln, Missouri, USA.¹⁰

     Samuel was born at Germany Valley, York?, Pennsylvania, USA, in 1809.¹

     Alexander Gililland There is a tombstone in the Gililland section of the Sulphur Lick Cemetery, Millwood Twp, Lincoln Co, MO for Alexander Hantrum Gililland that MIGHT be this Alexander, but the dates and locations do not quite fit:

"Alexander Hantrum Gililland born in Lincoln Co., Mo Dec. 12, 1813 died March 13? 1896? aged 72 Ys 2 Ms 22 Ds". The middle A in Alexander looks more like an I and the first letter of Hantrum might be an M or an N instead. The death date that makes sense with the birthdate and age is Mar 3, 1886. Alexander was born at Germany Valley, York?, Pennsylvania, USA, in 1810.² Alexander died in 1871.²

     Alford M Sanders From "Century Review of Maury County Tennessee 1807-1907" by D P Robbins, p 307:

"Allen [Saunders] was son of Alford M. (1774-1865) and Sallie (b.1802, d.84) (Harris) Saunders ... . Alford [Saunders] was son of James (who died age 108) and ---- (Walker) Saunders"

[The above is cited in the Teresa Wilson Wiese's Family Group Sheet evidence.]. Alford was born at Rockingham, North Carolina, USA, on 23 October 1792.¹ He married Sarah W "Sallie" Harris before 1818.¹ Alford died in 1865 at Maury, Tennessee, USA.¹

     Sarah was born in 1802. See text for Alford M Sanders.¹ She married Alford M Sanders before 1818.¹ Sarah died in 1884.¹

     Allen Sanders See Text for son J L. Allen was born at Maury, Tennessee, USA, on 29 December 1829.¹ He married Martha Davis at Maury, Tennessee, USA, before 16 November 1847. Date deduced from son J.L.'s birthdate..¹ Allen died on 17 October 1896 at Maury, Tennessee, USA, at age 66.¹

     Martha Davis See Text for son J L. Martha was born at Maury, Tennessee, USA, on 8 June 1828.¹ She married Allen Sanders at Maury, Tennessee, USA, before 16 November 1847. Date deduced from son J.L.'s birthdate..¹ Martha died on 5 May 1891 at Maury, Tennessee, USA, at age 62.¹

     J L Sanders His surname (and that of his children) might be spelled Saunders.
