General Notes: Husband - Thomas L. Gilson

---

Deerfield Twp, Warren Co, PA

He was what the early settlers called a "Pennamite," a settler from the eastern part of Pennsylvania, as opposed to those who came from New York and England. There was considerable ill feeling between the Pennamites and the other settlers.

He settled in Southwest township, Warren County, Pennsylvania, about 1800. He was the first settler on the place some three miles and a half north of Enterprise, later owned and occupied by John Wales. He was a very active and prominent man among the early settlers, and was universally respected. He was passionately fond of hunting and trapping.
