Research Notes

26 Sep 1788, Charles and Jane "Jenny" Gilbert sold to Thomas Clark, 330 acres on both sides of the south fork of Seneca Creek, which was also where Jenny's father had been living for about two years prior. Shortly after the above sale in 1790, Charles and Jenny were living in Fayette County, Kentucky, on Thomas Run of the South Branch of Elkhorn Creek/River; (where Jenny's Uncle - William Haden had moved a few years prior; and where her brother - John M. Haden and wife would also move; and where in 1817 her half-brother William Dabney Haden would marry).

By 1809, Charles and Jenny Gilbert were "of Logan County" and sold land in neighboring Warren County on the Big Barren River, to Adrian Davenport of Ohio for $1 ^[3]. Charles died 20 Apr 1824. His will was written/ probated in Logan County 4 Mar 1824/ 3 May 1824.

Jane/ Jenny, moved after Charles' death to Johnson County, Missouri, to live with her daughter Mary/ Polly on the Oglesby homestead.^[4]

Jane or Jenny Haden, daughter of Anthony and Druscilla, died in 1836 in Johnson County MO.She was living with her daughter Mary (aka Polly) Gilbert Oglesby, and is presumably buried in the Oglesby family farm cemetery. Our source is online:“History of Johnson County, Missouri.”
