Biography

Joseph Sr. and Elizabeth Gill, 2nd Generation

Joseph Gill, Sr. was born in 1677 at Dreux, Eure et Loir, France and died in November of 1732 in Bristol Parish, Henrico Co., VA. About 1700 he married a certain Elizabeth whose maiden name is unknown. Little is known of Joseph, Sr. except that he and his brothers all lived in Henrico Co., VA, the part that later in 1749 became Chesterfield Co. Fortunately, Joseph, Sr. left a will which describes his descendants.

In his will of 6 November 1732 Joseph Gill of Bristol Parish appointed his sons Joseph and Peter to be executors and to divide his estate between his wife Elizabeth and Jacob Gill, Francis Gill, William Gill, and Ann Gill. The will stated,

  • “Item. I give to my sone William the Land I now live on when arrived to the age of one and Twenty but if it should pleas God that my aforesaid sone should Dye before he should arrive at the age of one and Twenty
  • it is my will and pleasure that my sone Francis Gill shall inherit the said Land which is my last will and testament.”

Dated 19 June 1732. Wit: Wm. Halpin, Will Stiles, Mary Bligh. Recorded 6 Nov. 1732.
