General Notes: Husband - James Gilchrist


He and his wife were both born on the Isle of Whithorn, Scotland, at that time a flourishing and important seaport, where he was a building contractor. He and his family immigrated to the United States in 1821, landing at Philadelphia, the voyage having consumed six weeks, and proceeded thence to Pittsburgh by wagon. In this city he became a building contractor, later moving to a farm near Youngstown, Ohio, where his death occurred. He and his family were Seceders in religion, being members of Dr. Presley's church in Allegheny City.
