Just back from a great week with family for Spring Break, so no new information on my Stephens line.
I’ve decided to post a descendant list for Eli Gilpin. I would love to hear from fellow Gilpin researchers! My direct line is Eli Gilpin & Rebecca Passmore Conn to Nancy Jain Gilpin & Joseph Scott to Mintie Scott and Oliver Smith who were my great-grandparents.
I hope to get back in the swing with my Stephens research soon!

i am also from the eli gilpin line….(eli, james, henry r, veldora)
my mother (veldora’s daughter) told me that she was 1/8 indian – following things thru – gilpin appears to be the best lead to indian ancestry. do you have any evidence of gilpins and indian bloodlines?
thanks
steve
Steve, I have never come across any evidence for Indian ancestry, but I certainly couldn’t rule it out either!
