I have not been able to get past 1867 or perhaps 1834 with my line. I have Veldora (or Vell Dora) Gilpin, who is my grandmother and reportedly 1/4 Cherokee..she certainly at least had coal black hair! Her parents were Mary Donna Roberts and Henry R. Gilpin. I know Henry was born Januray 1867. I'm relatively certain it was Casey County - the rest of his life and Veldora's young life were in the Liberty area). I THINK his parents might have been James Gilpin and Elizabeth ___. (both born 1834. I've requested a death certificate for a Henry R who died Casey Co at age 81 in 1948. I'm hoping this will link me definitely to james and elizabeth. IF so...do you have info farther back on James Gilpin born KY (county unknown but probably Casey) in 1834? I ask only because you have this data re: the Gilpin name in the area. Thanks! Brenda Geiger / Indianapolis
