General Notes: Husband - James G. Gilfillan

---

He was educated in Mercer and Lawrence Counties, Pennsylvania, and studied survey-ing with Samuel McDowell, a well-known character of Lawrence County. He began surveying in 1840, and surveyed the greater part of the roads in the southern portion of Mercer County and many in Lawrence. He bought a farm of 100 acres in the woods in Liberty Town-ship in 1839, the greater part of which he cleared. In 1878 he sold it for $10,000, and bought a place in Findley Township. He and wife were members of the United Presbyterian Church, and he was a Prohibitionist. [HMC 1888, 953]

He was prominently identified with the U. P. Church, and was among the first abolitionists and prohibitionists.
