Gilbert M. Cruit married Mary Louisa Gallaspie on 28 Mar 1842 in Monroe County, Alabama. Together, they had the following children: Louisa, Robert Freeman, James W., Sarah Aldarena, Mary Hope, Sarah Elizabeth, Gibert Maddicott, Richard William, Margaret Eleanor and George Willam.
It is said that Gilbert ran away from home in England because he was not getting along with his father. But right before he left he looked in at his father in the family study for a long time without his father knowing that he was looking. He was taking a long last look at his father because he knew that he would probably never see him again.
Gilbert may have come to America on a ship named the AMERICA.
Gilbert is supposed to have been a stage coach driver on the Old Federal Road which ran down through Alabama. Part of this is now Butler street that runs by the old Cruit homesteads. Louisa Gallaspie's father is supposed to have run one of the stage stops near Enon. Enon is where Gilbert and Louisa farmed and raised their family.
He was a member of the Grand Lodge Free and Accepted Masons of Alabama.
