Relationship to Abraham Lincoln

We know that Bridget's father was Edward, but, we have no proof that it was this Edward. I have marked Bridget Gilman's profile in that manner. Lee-5956 19:17, 18 December 2015 (EST) US Presidents Project Lead

Disputed Associations

No historical support has been found to suggest that this Edward Gilman was the grandson of Edward Gilman (abt.1500-1525) and his wife, Unknown (Unknown) Gilman (1504-).

Biography

Edward Gilman was baptized Caston, Norfolk, England, of Hingham, 20 April 1557, [1] [2][3]
[1557] Edward Gyllman ye sonn of Edward gyllman was baptised ye xxth day of Aprill A[nn]o predicto

He was the son of Edward and Rose (Rysse) Gilman of Caston,[2] See Research Notes.

A record of his death has not been proven. Walter Goodwin Davis (1963) thought he might have been (so not proven) the Edward Gilman buried Caston, 15 May 1621. This seems likely the burial record indexed by FindMyPast as 15 May 1619.[4] See Research Notes.

He married by about 1581 (birth of child, 1582), but his wife's name has been lost from official records.[2][5]

Children of Edward Gilman and his wife, _____.[6][7][2]

  1. [Bridget] Gilman, born about 1582; married Edward Lincoln of Hingham. See Research Notes.
  2. Edward Gilman (known as “the Emigrant"), born about 1587 (he was age 50 in 1637);[8] married Mary Clark:
  3. Robert Gilman son of Edward Gylmmynne of Hingham, married (1) in Hingham, May 14, 1611, Rose Hawes; married (2) widow, Mary Bruen. See Research Notes
  4. John Gilman, married Ann Guerney:
  5. Mary Gilman, born 1599, married Nicholas Jacob:
  6. Margaret Gilman, baptized Hingham, Norfolk, 1 August 1602.
  7. Sarah Gilman, baptized Hingham, 4 October or December 1603.[9]

Several of Edward's descendants emigrated from England to America.

Research Notes

Ancestry. According to Walter Goodwin Davis (1963), the earliest proven ancestry for this line begins with Edward Gilman (abt.1525-bef.1573). See Walter Goodwin Davis, The ancestry of Abel Lunt, 1769-1806, of Newbury, Massachusetts (Portland, Me. : Anthoensen Press, 1963), 153-160 (Gilman, of Exeter) at 153; digital images, Hathi Trust.

Evidence for his parents as Edward and Rose (instead of Robert) was entered by BKM):

Edward Gilman was the father of Edward the Emigrant (7), instead of Robert, his brother, as stated in the records of Samuel Hayhoe Le Neve Gilman. The late Charles E. Banks, Genealogist, discovered a deposition made by Edward the Emigrant in 1637 at the age of 50, shortly before he left England, referring to his father as Edward. An incomplete list of children is furnished by Mr. Torrey, Genealogist.[10]

Birth. A prior version of this profile reported he was born Caston, Norfolk, 22 June 1555 and baptized there 20 April 1557. Evidence regarding his baptism is found as "'England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975,' database (IGI, Index only), FamilySearch"; "'England Births & Baptisms 1538-1975'; FindMyPast Transcription (subscription required ...); Edward Gyllman ..."). No references was provided on WikiTree for the birth, but this date is found elsewhere in Internet family files (rdavis, Bobbi Stockton) and on FamilySearch FamilyTree profile (PID KNSK-BVJ), only sometimes referring to entries in a family bible, for which no historical reference seen.[citation needed] As to published accounts, only baptismal dates are reported in the record of Edward and Rose's children,

  • Gilman (1864): Writes that the 1573 will of Edward Gilman is evidence that Edward left four sons and five daughters, naming only three. Fails to include son Edward in those named, but makes no claim regarding family bible records for those who were named
  • Ames (1950). Includes reprint of Torrey's published/corrected account, saying only that Edward was born in Caston, and baptized 20 April 1557; no mention of family bible records.
  • Davis (1963): "Edward^2 Gilman ... was baptized in Caston ... April 6, 1557 ..." No mention of family bible records.

Death. Without references, a prior version of this profile reported his death in the data field as in Caston, "6 March 1613," and in the narrative as "Edward died in 1613 in Hingham, England, where he had moved earlier with his brother Robert.

This date bears an uncanny similarity to "6 March 1631/2," otherwise the burial date for his brother, Robert Gilman, with whom Edward's identity had once been confused/conflated.

Robert's burial record is found as (1) Norfolk Record Office; Reference: PD 158/1, FindMyPast Image - FindMyPast Transcription (accessed 26 January 2022); (2) "Norfolk, England, Church of England Baptism, Marriages, and Burials, 1535-1812," Norfolk > Caston > 1539-1720, Ancestry Sharing Link - Ancestry Image ...

Walter Goodwin Davis (1963) thought he might have been (so not proven) the Edward Gilman buried Caston, 15 May 1621.

Daughter Bridget. Baptism of Thomas Lincoln at Hardringham 7 November 1603 calls the parents Edward and Bridget. Presuming she was the mother of this Thomas, then her name is Bridget. See Thomas Lyncolne 7 November 1603 baptism, "England, Norfolk, Parish Registers (County Record Office), 1510-1997," Record Office, Norwich.; images, FamilySearch, FHL Digital Collection, DGS 004033226, image 18 of 1975 (or England, Norfolk, Parish ...Record Office), 1510-1997, Hardingham, Baptisms, Marriages, Burials, 13 of 133). "15 [1603] Thomas filius Edwardi Lyncolne et Birgittae uxoris eius Batpiz: --- septimo die Novembris" ("15" being an entry number).

Son Robert. This son is included in the list of children published by Walter Goodwin Davis.

No evidence Gary Boyd Roberts named a wife. A prior version of this profile reported, "Evidence for the wife's name of Mary Hawes is Gary Boyd Robert's Notable Kin. Whether he cites a source I do not yet know. There seems to be no other solid evidence for the name."

Research suggests this is not the case. WikiTree collaborators have reviewed published accounts about Edward Gilman in 1994, 1995 and 2009. In all of these accounts, his wife was "_____." See the answer posted on G2G, 2022, here, and the answer and comment posted there, here and here.

Work by Charles Edward Banks. Inline citation to Clarence Almon Torrey, "English Origin of Edward^1 Gilman" (TAG 11:127) includes the statement, "Citing work by Charles Edward Banks, so there is an earlier reference." Separately there are two items attributed to Banks.

  • Charles Edward Banks, "The Emigrant Ancestor and Ancestress of Abraham Lincoln," New York Genealogical and Biographical Record 60 (1929):115-117 at 116; digital images via FamilySearch Catalog, DGS 8131626, images 1131-1132 of 1355.
  • Reference to further research by Banks about the deposition of "the younger Edward, made in 1637, when ... he was fifty years of age." See Edward in Clarence Almon Torrey, "English Origin of Edward^1 Gilman" in The American Genealogist, 11 (1934):137-138, at 137, 137n; digital images by subscription, AmericanAncestors. The footnote reports, "Col. Banks' reference for Edward Gilman's deposition is Court of Requests, Bundle 27, pt. 2, Charles I." Also includes "For permission to use this deposition and also Gilman items from Caston and Hingham parish records, from the manuscript of Col. Banks, acknowledgement is made to his daughter, Mrs. Alfred Brinkler."

Possible useful archives.

  • The Clarence Almon Torrey archives are held by NEHGS, Boston, cited by Gary Boyd Roberts as "C. A. Torrey's mss. collection, SG TOR 5 (147)."
  • The Charles E. Banks archives, at least in part, are held by the Library of Congress, Rare Book & Special Collections Reading Room (Special Collections).

Wife Margaret James. Edward Gilman's wife was Margaret James, daughter of Robert James, yeoman, of Hingham, Norfolk, England.

Robert's will was written on 6 March 1601/2 and proved in the Archdeaconry Court of Norfolk on 21 January 1602/3.[11] In that will, Robert clearly identifies that he has a son-in-law, Edward Gilman, and a granddaughter, Bridget Lincoln, who is the wife of Edward Lincoln. From the research and analysis of Charles Banks and Clarence Torrey, as reported in The American Genealogist, it is known that Bridget Lincoln's father was Edward Gilman.[2] Thus Edward Gilman, father of Bridget, was married to a daughter of Robert James.

A full transcript of his will is available, but the relevant extracts are:[11]

  • I give and bequeath unto Bridget Lyncolne the wife of Edward Lyncolne, my grandchild, twenty shillings of lawful money of England to be paid unto her within three months next after my decease
  • ... except all such debts as Edward Gylmine my son in law doth owe me by bond or without
  • These being witnesses: Edward Gyllmyne...

The first name of Edward Gilman's wife is contained in Letters of Administration granted upon the death of Leonard James in the Archdeaconry Court of Norfolk on 14 January 1608/9.[12] One of the administrators of his estate was Edward Gilman, identified as being the husband of Margaret Gilman alias James, sister of Leonard James. The full record is (translated from Latin):[12]

The fourteenth day of the month of January in the year of Our Lord, according to the computation of the Anglican Church, one thousand, six hundred and eight above-mentioned, by the authority of the Archdeacon above-mentioned, administration of all and singular the goods, issues and credits of Leonard James, clerk, late of Rockland St Peter, deceased intestate, was entrusted to Henry and Samuel James, natural and lawful brothers of the said deceased, Edward Gyllman, the husband of Margaret Gyllman alias James, natural and lawful sister of the deceased, and Robert Jenipy, natural and lawful brother of Margaret (sic) James, widow, relict of the deceased, during the minority of Robert, Benjamin, Sarah, Mary and Ann James, natural and lawful children of the said deceased, lawfully sworn

New corroborating facts are featured in the Spring 2023 (Vol 177) issue of The Register (New England Historic Genealogical Society. "The lead article treats the English ancestry of Philip James of Hingham, Massachusetts, with the James ancestry of the Gilman family of Hingham, Norfolk," by Robert Battle.
I created a (rather skeletal) profile for Edward Gilman's wife Margaret James (James-28155), but am unable to connect her to this profile as a spouse due to the protected status.
posted by Robert Battle
Can you do some additional biographical information on her profile? I see how she connects....I cannot figure out her first name and that logic, but, I can add her.
posted by Robin Lee
Thank you! I added a bit more to her profile under Research Notes. She was the mother of all of Edward Gilman's children, not just Bridget (Gilman) Lincoln.
posted by Robert Battle
I have them all added now, thank you for all the research you have done!
posted by Robin Lee
I have added discussion about Edward's wife to the end of the Research Notes section. She has been identified through a will and admon as being Margaret James, daughter of Robert James of Hingham. If there are no objections, I would like to create a profile for her and attach it to her husband and children.

Fabulous research Nic. We're getting there and I think it helps identify 2 other emigres Francis and Phillip James.

FYI, this information (and the identity of the Jameses you mention) is in an article I submitted to the New England Historical and Genealogical Register about a year ago. It has been accepted for publication, but not yet scheduled. This represents some of the tension generated by print vs. electronic publication. IMHO, important discoveries about immigrants (i.e., discoveries that affect the ancestry of many people) are best submitted to peer-reviewed publications rather than immediately being placed online. To do the latter forestalls the former. But that's just my 2 cents.
posted by Robert Battle
Robert, thanks for letting me know. This is a very unfortunate situation. The hard work that you and others do to publish your research in peer-reviewed journals is much appreciated. Wikitree members frequently cite peer-reviewed research when developing high-quality profiles, so the last thing I would want to do is undermine this process. I appreciate your perspective and it is something I am reflecting on. Thank-you for all your work on our shared ancestors/relatives.
posted by Nic Donnelly
No harm done. :-) I don't want to undermine or deter your research (or that of others) either, by any means. You are performing a public good by putting discoveries you make here. I *would* encourage you and others to consider submitting significant discoveries, especially on ancestors of general interest (immigrants, Presidential ancestors, etc.) to journals such as the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, The American Genealogist, The Genealogist, etc. They are always interested in hearing from new contributors; and doing so also functions as a sort of clearing house if there are others who are also working on the same family.

The article has finally seen the light of day, viewable here for subscribers (let me know if you can't access it and I can get you a copy): https://www.americanancestors.org/sites/default/files/2023-06/nehgr-register-177-2-spring-2023-entire.pdf. Definitely an interesting family! (BTW, Nic, you get a shout-out in footnote 36) :-)

If there are no objections, I plan to update the data regarding his death. Specifically, I plan to remove "about 6 Mar 1613 in Caston, Norfolk, England (uncertain)," as that date can not be verified; but for a possible transposition, it may have been disproven. In its place will add, "21 May 1621, Caston ... (uncertain), citing Davis (p. 157) and remarking that the author was unable to prove the identity of the Edward then buried, saying this date and location was "a possibility."

For the notice of the unsourced 1613 date, see the comment here.

Working with the English Project team, we have been unable to find historical support for the burial date, 6 March 1613. Given that Edward and his brother Robert were at one time conflated, but for a possible transposition error, this date could otherwise be the burial date for that brother, Robert Gilman (bef.1559-1631), Gilman-29, whose was buried 6 March 1631. See Norfolk Record Office; Reference: PD 158/1, FindMyPast Image - FindMyPast Transcription (accessed 26 January 2022), Robert Gillman burial on 6 Mar 1631 in Caston, Norfolk, England.

Any number of apparent errors were published in the reference work, Arthur Gilman, The Gilman Family … in England and America (Albany, N.Y. : J. Munsell, 1869, rpt 1969); catalog entry, Hathi Trust.

The author recognizes the marriage of Edward Gilman and Rose Ryse (p. 31), but recognizes only three sons to this man as (a) John Gilman, (b) Robert Gilman and (c) Lawrence Gilman, further claiming Edward and Rose's son Robert--married (1) Rose Hawes and (2) Mary ___--was the father of the immigrant, Edward Gilman (married Mary Clark) see p. 35.

More modern research by Charles E. Banks, Clarence Almon Torrey (a descendant) and Walter Goodwin Davis have worked to correct the earlier errors in print.

In particular, see

I presume no one here has been able to find Nadine Gilman's two thick books? At some point, if people are going to keep adding Mary Hawes as wife to Edward, it will be nice if they would cite a source.
posted by BK McDonald
Recent changes to this profile show Mary Hawes (who was married to Edward's brother, Robert [Gilman-29]) as Edward's wife. From everything I have read Edward's wife's last name at birth is not known. In any case it was quite a marriage lasting close to 20 years after both died,

In addition, new duplicate profiles of Robert Gilman and Mary (Hawes) Gilman's sons have been added as children of Edward Gilman.

posted by Bob Tonsmeire
profile managers would you consider changing the marriage date. If Edward was baptized in 1557, I don't see him getting married 8 years later. I would guess the marriage would be closer to the birth of their first child.
Edward is the 6th Great Grandfather of President Abraham Lincoln and my 10th Great Grandpa, making Lincoln my 7th cousin 4x removed with 222 common ancestors. Is it possible to add a Direct Ancestor badge to Edward for Abe Lincoln?
posted by Renee Malloy Esq
BK, if you're following the work I've been doing trying to clear up the confusion about the two Mary Gilmans who emigrated to New England in 1633 and 1638 (one a sister the other a daughter of Edward the immigrant), you may have seen on G2G that the generations above Edward are all messed up. He's currently linked as son of Robert when as you know he should be son of this Edward. (I'm certain this resulted from incorrect merges.)

I'm terrified to try to fix this without seeing a more definitive genealogy of the Gilmans. And that seems to be the 1950 book you have. I don't want to make matters worse. Can you help? Thanks.

posted by Jillaine Smith
There are a couple of merge requests for Robert Gilman. This would seem to be over the idea that his wife was Mary Hawes. I do not know of Gary Boyd Roberts' source for this woman as the wife of Edward Gilman. To me, that source should be investigated before any merges are made.
