Are all these people related to you? Yes Indeed Tom. These are all my Gilson families. I descend through Joshua, who was my Grandfather. The listings were made mostly through other researchers that I have exchanged descendant information on. The main person I have no information on is Daniel Martin Gilson b. 1876 in Adair County, Missouri. He left home after 1900 and no trace has been found, except his sister Millicent Ann (Gilson) Covert's obituary states that he was still alive in 1936. I have checked all the census since 1900 and have not found him listed. Dave - [email protected]
