Anyway, the Walter Gilbert page is mostly in the Michigan area, I think. So tell me, did George, the father leave Maryland and go to Ohio? I know the thing to do back then was to "go West", but I visited Kincaid, KS, where Mary Gilbert Royse moved and died there- it's the size of a peanut. It was pretty sad- mostly old people, and just a bank and post office. I did get to go through the house where she and Henry and kids lived- I have an old, old photo, probably when they first moved in. I just think Maryland and the East Coast is so great, why would one leave, but that's what was done back then. We have a fairly decent genealogy section at the Mid-Continent Lib. in Indep. (right by the RLDS fam. hist. center)- will follow up on your info, see if I can't find something. If you want to e-mail me directly, feel free- however, if someone is followig the same name, they can see th! is info. Later, Patty
