Thomas William Gilpin (1867)

It was brought to my attention last week that Thomas is not the son of William James Gilpin. He was a nephew. This information was provided by Becky Gilpin Thompson Nosel on January 14, 2019:

The information on the profile of Thomas W Gilpin (1867) is incorrect. He was my Grandmothers brother and they were the children of David Gilpin and Mary Ann Shaw Gilpin. Thomas was sent to live with his Aunt and Uncle William and Esther Ann McQuaig Gilpin. He lived with them and was an apprentice in his Uncle Williams hardware store. He appears on census reports with William and Esther but he is their nephew, not their son. Thomas is on 1871 Census of Canada with his parents David and Mary. My Grandmother Emma Jane Gilpin was born in 1872. Thomas died on March 25, 1889 from TB. I have letters that he wrote to my Grandmother while he was living with Aunt and Uncle and my Grandmother lived in Pittsburgh Pa with another Uncle.
