Lafayette Gill was husband to Nancy Jane Kauble. Lafayette Gill is the son of James Corson Gill and Mary "Abel" Gill.
Lafayette married Nancy Kauble on May 18, 1902 in Clay county Illinois.
Notes: The Gill Family tree traces back to Ireland to the late 1500's. It was in the early 1700's when the Gill family migrated to the United States and made their home first in Greene County Ohio and then Pennsylvania. The majority of the Gill's migrated from there to such states as; Indiana, Illinois, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Virgina and Kentucky. Eventually down the line small groups of families branched out to the west coast in such states as; Washington, Oregon, California. Today of course, they can be found living in every state.
The Gill's from Illinois and the "others"-- from Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Kentucy and Virginia did not seem to have much involvement with each other, except for the fact that they were aware of their family ties.
I am more closely related to the ones that lived and died in Illinois (Clay- Douglas Counties).
My Grandfather John Zedakiah Gill was from Clay City Illinois. He told me that these "two groups" really didn't have that much in common and he knew very little about the Gill's who migrated to Arkansas and further South, except for the fact that they were very different and he did not remember any of them ever attending the Gill family Reunions in Clay City Illinois. Grandpa spoke as if they were a whole different bread of Gills. I have contacted several living relatives from both Illinois, Arkansas and further down South. They actually don't seem to know much about each other, accept for the fact that they exist or existed and seem to consider one another as if they were a different clan of Gill's off the Gill family tree. I find this all a bit strange, but have come to some sort of understanding considering their differences in culture and locations. I believe that geography played a large role in why this came to happen and find it all very interesting.
