Am asking for any help anyone on this mailing list may give me on Simon & Elizabeth Lackey Gilbert who were residents of Coles Co., Illinois starting about 1827. Simon Gilbert was born about 1778, the son of Isaac Gilbert of Madison County, Kentucky. Simon married Elizabeth Lackey in Madison Co., Kentucky on Sept. 20, 1802. Simon later served in the War of 1812 from Kentucky for which service he received a pension. Sometime after Simon's father's death (Isaac Gilbert) in 1827, he moved to Coles Co., Illinois. Simon died in Coles Co., Illinois on September 29, 1851. Elizabeth continued to receive a pension and she died sometime after 1855. There was probably children by this marriage, but I haven't found any as of yet. Does anyone know of any children & descendants of Simon & Elizabeth Lackey Gilbert? Also, does anyone know of a burial location for Simon & Elizabeth? Will be glad to exchange what information I have about this family. Thanking all of you very much in advance, John Vice (of Fleming Co., Ky.) Gilbert? Alos
