Surnames: Gilpin Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RAB.2ACI/1471.1.1.2.1 Message Board Post: There are two Gilpin lines of Casey Co., KY. One begins with Francis Green Gilpin. The other is two brothers, Eli and Enoch Gilpin. They were the sons of Isaac Gilpin and Marie ??? Tradition states that Isaac died of smallpox as a soldier during the Revolution. There were two other brothers, Elias and William (I think). The four brothers were apprenticed out and seperated. Isaac was probably the son of Isaac Gilpin, son of immigrants Joseph Gilpin and Hannah Glover. As far as Native American links, I have found none. I descend from Francis G. Gilpin, and my step-father from Isaac Gilpin. Best, Garry Bryant
