Dee, I am a Gillentine descendant (my mother was a Gillentine) and have a great deal of information on the Gillentines. If you will visit our webpage at http://www.flash.net/~wmoyers/surnames.htm and look thru the Index of Surnames and click on Gillentine, you will find my database. I have much more information that is not on the web so contact me if you want more. Also if you will visit http://www.hcnews.com/~landmark/tomgreen.htm and look up "Dove Creek Battleground" you will find where Captain Nicholas M. Gillentine of the Texas Militia (from Erath County) was killed in a battle with indians in Tom Green County. Frances Moyers DAR, DRT wmoyers@flash.net Granbury, Texas
