I'd be dancing up a storm if you can send me more on my the Gillis Families!
Mary Gillis, daughter of Robert, and granddaughter of John Gillis, who was a native of Ireland. The grandfather was married in Old Erin to Mary Martin, and she born him two sons, viz.: Robert and Samuel. These children came to America, locating in Huntingdon county, Penn., where Robert Gillis was married, in October 1814, to Agnes Porter, who was born June 20, 1787, and was a daughter of James and Sarah Porter. Robert and Agnes Gillis settled in Washington county, Penn., where their daughter Mary (who became the wife of Caleb Taylor) was born.

I happened upon your website in my research. John Gillis was my GGGGGrandfather. I am going out to western PA this weekend to speak with the Gillis family historian, I will contact you when I get back to share additional info. I do know that Lindsey Gillis owned a farm, and I am pretty sure it is still standing, I will take pictures and send them to you. John C. Dannels [email protected]
