Hello Ellen (and list), My ggrandfather was living with his grandfather (my ggggrandfather) John GILMORE in 1880. John GILMORE was living and farming on the land directly behind the Lisbon Central Union Cemetery. My ggrandfather, James Samuel PIERCE would have been 8 years old at the time. Other family members of mine living in the Town of Lisbon in 1880 and attending school were Margaret GOWANS and Helen GOWANS (my ggrandmother). They were the natural and adopted daughters respectively of James and Jane GOWANS. I am unsure exactly where they lived in the Town of Lisbon. I am looking for any and all information related to the GILMORE, GOWANS, CHALMERS, FOY, PIERCE, and ROBINSON families of the Town of Lisbon. Some background information: John GILMORE, his wife Ann CHALMERS GILMORE, and Thomas CHALMERS were 3 of the founding members of the Lisbon United Presbyterian Church in 1847. All of the previously named families were members of this church at one time. The CHALMERS family lived on the land that included what is known today as Ausblick Ski Hill. Their land was was next to the GILMORE land. Margaret GOWANS (mentioned earlier) married Dr. Craig J. FOY. Helen GOWANS (mentioned earlier) married James Samuel PIERCE. James Samuel PIERCE's mother was Ann GILMORE (eldest daughter of John and Ann GILMORE). Ann GILMORE married a PIERCE, but I am unsure of his first name, it may also be James. Agnes GILMORE (youngest daughter of John and Ann GILMORE) married William Philip GOWANS. William Philip GOWANS worked for William SMALL (another of the founding members of the Lisbon Presbyterian Church) on his farm in 1880. In 1890 William GOWANS was working as a helper at WI Central shops in Pewaukee. ( I am unsure of what this means exactly). Ann ROBINSON was a cousin of James GOWANS, a woman with special needs, that was taken care of by the GILMORE, CHALMERS, and GOWANS families.
