The Gilmers in America (Classic Reprint)

The editor of this little book permits it to go to press with full consciousness that it is imperfect, both as a record and a narrative. It would be withheld if he had any hope that he could correct the imperfections which will be manifest to all who read it. He has endeavored to secure information of interest and value, and in this he trusts that in a mearsure he has succeeded. But he has not been able to secure full information. If the faults of the work be only those of omission he will be glad, for such he could not avoid. The members of the family, when applied to, have expressed a cordial interest in the work and have supplied the material from which this narrative and these records have been constructed. Many papers which would have been of great assistance were destroyed during the Civil War, the ravages of which were particularly sad in those sections where the Gilmer archives were chiefly stored. Acknowledgment is hereby made to all of those who have assisted. Should mention be made of each individual contributor, it would be necessary to print a pretty full list of the living lineal and collateral Gilmers.
