In case anyone here has ties to this family, I'm ecstatic to report that a descendant of the following Gilbert/Coppock line is being DNA tested. I'd not heard the rumor the descendant mentions below, but his DNA will certainly tell if he is a true Gilbert male descending from the Caleb/Jonathan Gilbert line of Newberry Co. or not. 1 Thomas Gilbert Born April 15,1793 South Carolina (probably Newberry Co. no proof) Died August 12,1869 Miami Co. Ohio. (Rumored to have been illegitimate or orphaned. Settled in Miami Co. Ohio in 1811.) + Edna Coppock ...2. John Coppock Gilbert Born April 23,1825 Miami Co. Ohio Died April 24,1883 Mercer Co.
