This site is provided to aid in tracking Gill families in their migration to Texas and Oklahoma. However the info is not limited to Texas and Oklahoma alone. Your welcome to view and use any of the data contained here in your search for your own Gill ancestors, and I hope you will provide me data in return. If you have info on your Gill family that you would like to see posted here, send it to me via email. I will try to post everything until I run out of space.

I have been searching for my GreatGrandparents, John Gill and Anna Kerby Gill since 1968 without any luck. I NEED HELP FINDING THESE FOLKS. They do not appear in any census as far as I can determine. As their children were mainly born in Grayson or Cooke Counties TX, they should appear in the 1880 census for one of these two counties...they do not....the children first appear in the 1900 Indian Territory (Oklahoma) census without parents.

I suspect that both John and Anna died between 1883 and 1892. 1883 is the year their last child was born and 1892 is the year their oldest daughter (Nancy Elnora Gill Morris) was married. Nancy had said that she didn't get to go to school very long because she had to take care of her brother and sisters, and that when she got married she had a ready made family because her brother and sisters lived with them. According to the family bible, Nancy was married in Indian territory (Oklahoma).
