Hi ! Jim, Sorry for the confusion on the original subject line. It should be GILSON. Anxious to hear from you on the GILSON's. John Gilson was b. 1814 Elk Run Twp. Columbiana County, Ohio, son of John Sr. from Allegheny County, Pennsylvania & Sarah Stephenson. The connection to the Covert's is though the 1814 John Gilson. His first child a daughter, Millicent Ann Gilson married Morris Daniel COVERT in 1881 at Nebraska City, Otoe County, Nebraska. Daniel was born at Unionville, Putnam Co. Missouri in 1856. I have Daniel's father listed as David Covert b. 1815 Pennsylvania. His mother was Sarah HANNMON from Ohio.

My files are quite extensive, but I honestly cannot say right now, what I have on the name Gilson. I originally read Gibson when I scanned your query. I will check tonight when I get home from work to see if I have anything at all on any Gilsons. I am, however, interested in anything you have on the Covert line that you can share. Give me a day or two and I will get back to you. Regrds, Jim [email protected] wrote: Daniel Martin GILSON, b. 1876 Adair or Putnum County Missouri, son of 1814 John Gilson, b. Columbiana County, Ohio. Last listing of Daniel was 1900 census in Otoe Co. Nebraska City, NE. Family rumors say he headed west. His sister, Millicent Ann (Gilson) Covert Obituary states he was still alive in 1936. Dave - [email protected]
