GILMAN The earliest discovered records of anything like the name Gilman are connected with Wales. Cilmin Troed- dhu (i. e. Kilmin with the black foot) of Glynllison in Uwch Gwir Vai, in Caer-yn-Arvonshire, lived in the year 843, in the time of Roderick the Great, with whom he came out of the north of Britain. He bore argent, a man's leg couped, sable. The Glyns of Glynllison are descended from Cilmin, whose name is also spelled Kilmin. This Cilmin was head of one of the fifteen noble tribes of North Wales, and there appears to be good reason to believe that he was one of the ancestors of the Gilmins of England, Ireland, and America. The American branch of the family, the largest of all, are the descendants of Edward Gilman, of Hingham, England. In the sixteenth century and previously the name was variously spelled: Gilmyn, Gilmin, Gylmyn, Gylmin, Gyllmyn, and sometimes Guylmyn.
Religious persecution, the cause which expelled the first emigrants from Old England, sent Edward Gilman and his family to Massachusetts; and from this one family has sprung a multitudinous pro- geny.
The family of Gilman. is not one furnishing a few brilliant exceptions to a long list of common place names. Its members appear generally to have been remarkable for the quiet home virtues, and rather to have desired to be good citizens than men of great name. To an eminent degree they appear to have obtained the esteem and respect of those nearer to them for sound judgment and sterling traits of character. Thus in the towns in which
1621
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
they have dwelt their reputation is high. Other names were more prominent in New Hampshire for a time; some men performed more conspicuous services, or underwent more extraordinary trials ; "but the sturdy phalanx of Gilmans did more,' says their genealogist, "to keep up the steady course of the colony, the province, and the state (in America) certainly till 1815, than any two or three other families together."
(I) From the parish register of Caston it is found that Edward Gilman married, June 12, 1550, Rose Rysse, who survived her husband and proved his will, which was dated February 5, 1573, on July 7, in the same year. By his will he devised his houses and lands in Caston to his eldest son, John, and his other estates, lands, at Saham Toney being mentioned, were divided between his other three sons and his five daughters. The widow married (second), at Caston, April 3, 1578, John Snell, and was buried at Caston, October 3, 1613. As the parish registers of Caston commence in 1539, the date and place of birth of Edward Gilman are not known. The children of Edward Gilman and Rose Rysse, his wife, were: John, Edward, Robert, Lawrence, Margaret, Katherine, Rose, Jane and Elizabeth. (Mention of Robert and descendants forms part of this article.)
(II) Edward (2), second son of Edward (1) and Rose (Rysse) Gilman, was born in Caston. Rev. Robert Peck, of Hingham, England, led a party of one hundred and thirty-three men, women and children from England to America. They em- barked in the ship "Diligent" of Ipswich, Captain John Martin, which left Gravesend, April 26, and arrived at Boston, Massachusetts, August 10, 1638. Among those who composed the Pilgrim band were Edward Gilman, with his wife, three sons, and two daughters, and three servants. He settled in Hing- ham, where he was admitted freeman December 13, 1638. In 1641 a tract of land eight miles square then called Seekonk, now Rehoboth, was granted to Edward Gilman and others by the Plymouth Colony. In 1643 his estate was three hundred pounds. His name does not appear on the records of that town after 1646. In 1647 his name appears in Ipswich, and September 18, 1648, Edward Gilman, Jr., sold to his father, Edward Gilman, the farm given him by his father-in-law, Richard Smith. Edward Gilman and his sons removed to Exeter, New Hampshire, and there Edward died June 22, 1681. He married in Hingham, England, June 3, 1614, Mary Clark. Their children were: Mary, Edward, Sarah, Lydia, John and Moses; and from these sons the Gilmans of New Hampshire have descended.
(III) Edward (3), eldest son and second child of Edward (2) and Mary (Clark) Gilman, was baptized at Hingham, England, December 26, 1617. He came to America with his parents, and in 1647 removed to Exeter, New Hampshire, probably from Ipswich, and finding suitable sites for saw mills and plenty of timber, he entered into an agree- ment with the town, November 4, whereby he was accepted as a townsman and given privileges to enable him to build mills. In accordance with this agreement he erected mills upon a spot which has ever since been improved as a mill privilege. His father-in-law, it appears, has presented him with a place at Ipswich, which he sold to his father in 1648. He is described as active, enterprising and judicious, and immediately became a popular and leading man of Exeter. In 1648 he was on the committee to treat with a Mr. Thomson "to come to Exeter to be our minister," and if he would not
come to engage some other, with the advice of the elders of Boston, Charlestown, and Roxbury. In 1650 he was one of the committee who signed the agreement with Mr. Samuel Dudley "to inhabit Exeter and be a minister of God's word unto us until such time as God shall be pleased to make way for the gathering of a church, and then he shall be ordained the pastor or teacher, according to the ordinance of God." In 1641 he was one of a committee "to make an agreement with Hampton and Dover about the bounds or to petition the gen- eral court if they can't agree." Grants of land were repeatedly made to him by the town, the last of which was May 10, 1652, and upon the same day his father and brother Moses were, "upon their request," accepted as townsmen. His brother John was con- nected in business with him at one time. In 1653 Edward went to England for mill gearing, and never returned, having been lost at sea. His widow administered on his estate in 1655. He married, after he came to America, a daughter of Richard Smith, of Ipswich, formerly of Shropham, Nor- folk, England, and they had five children: Ed- ward, Joshua, Charles, John and Daniel.
(IV) Edward (4), eldest child of Edward (3) and (Smith) Gilman, was born 1648, died 1692. He married, December 20, 1674, Abigail (probably daughter of Antipas) Maverick. Their children were: Edward, Antipas, Maverick, Abi- gail, Catherine and Elizabeth.
(V) Edward (5), eldest child of Edward (1) and Abigail (Maverick) Gilman, was born October 20, 1675. He married Abigail Folsom (see Fol- · som, VII), and had children : Edward, Antipas, Jonathan, Maverick and Mary.
(VI) Antipas, second son and child of Ed- ward (5) and Abigail (Folsom) Gilman, born 1705, lived in Brentwood, and subsequently removed to Gilmanton, where he died January, 1793, aged eighty- eight. He married Lydia Thing, and they had eight children : Abigail, Antipas, Samuel, Edward, Jona- than, Deborah, Benjamin and Nathaniel.
(VII) Samuel, second son and third child of Antipas and Lydia (Thing) Gilman, was born March 8, 1732, and resided in Gilmanton. He died of camp fever, May 7, 1776. The first town meeting was held in his house, July 31, 1766. He married Hannah Tilton, born July 9, 1730, and they had twelve children: Samuel, John, Betsey, Peter, Han- nah, Levi, Lydia, Nathaniel, Anna, David, Dolly and Hetty.
( VIII) Levi, fourth son and sixth child of Samuel and Hannah (Tilton) Gilman, was born in Gilmanton, and with his elder brother Samuel settled, about 1790, on the south side of Gunstock, or Meeting-house Hill, in Gilmanton, now Gilford, where he engaged in farming. Levi Gilman had children : William, Levi, Samuel, Benjamin, Dorothy, Polly, Hope, and probably others.
(1X) Samuel, third son and child of Levi Gil- man, was born on his father's farm in Gilford, where he lived the life of a well-to-do farmer. He married a Miss Beedie, and their children were: Lyman W., Eliza, Lydia, Morrill, Anna and Al- bert C.
(X) Lyman Walker, eldest child of Samuel and (Beedic) Gilman, was born in Gilford, October 4, 1821, and died in Laconia, February, 1890, aged sixty-eight. He grew up on a farm and had the usual common school education. He learned the carpenter's trade and was employed for a time in Boston, then returned to New Hampshire and went into the employ of the Randlett Manufacturing Company, now the Laconia Car Company, where he
1

worked at carpentry. Here he kept pace with the business, was overseer of one shop and later of two. The amount of labor necessary to the dis- charge of his duties overtaxed his strength and he resigned, and the work was afterwards performed by two overseers. After leaving the Randlett Com- pany he engaged in the business of carriage build- ing on his own account, for a time, but later returned to the employ of the car company, where he was employed the remainder of his active life. He was first a Whig in politics, then during the con- tinuance of the Know Nothing party he was a member of that organization, and on the rise of the Republican party he became a member of that. He was an early member of Winnipiseogee Lodge, No. 7, of which he was later noble grand. He was an upright citizen and a useful member of the con- munity. He married, August 17, 1843, Dorothy Emeline Morrison, born December 12, 1819, died September 13, 1903, daughter of Benjamin and Dorothy (Gilman) Morrison, of Gilford, and they were the parents of six children: Josephine E., Augusta F., Edward F., Frank L., died in in- fancy ; Luella L., and Frank L., next mentioned.
(XI) Frank L., youngest child of Lyman W. and Dorothy E. (Morrison) Gilman, was born in Gilford, now Laconia, September 29, 1858. He obtained his education in the common schools, and then entered the Laconia passenger depot, where he learned telegraphy, and became telegraph operator and ticket agent, holding these positions from 1876 to 1880. In the summer of 1881 he went to Old Orchard Beach, where he was telegraph operator until October, and then went to Boston, where he was employed in the Western Union Telegraph Company's office on State street, until July, 1882. Resigning that place at that date he returned to Laconia and became assistant postmaster under Perley Putnam, holding that position during Mr. Putnam's term, and the first six months of the term of Mr. Putnam's successor, Nathaniel Edgerly. In October, 1887, Mr. Gilman resigned and for the next year or two was collector for the Laconia Democrat, clerk for George R. Leavitt in the wood and coal business, and agent for the Singer Manu- facturing Company. In the fall of 1888 he was elected register of probate for Belknap county, took charge of the office in July, 1889, and served till the end of his term in 1891. In the latter year he was made assistant postmaster, and filled that place until October, 1895. He was elected tax collector of the city of Laconia in 1895, and again in 1896, and performed the functions of that office, acting at the same time as agent for the New York Life Insurance Company. July 2, 1897, he was appointed by President Mckinley postmaster of Laconia. In 1902 was re-appointed by President Roosevelt, and in 1906 was re-appointed again, and is now con- tinuing on his third term. Mr. Gilman is a very methodical man, thoroughly competent, honorable, honest, and prompt in the discharge of his duties. He has never failed to give satisfaction to all reasonable people in the offices he has filled. His general success and popularity might be attributed to the characteristics enumerated, but there is an- other which has contributed more than any of these to his success. He is even tempered and suave-always a gentleman.
He is a member of Mount Lebanon Lodge, No. 32, and Union Royal Arch Chapter, No. 7, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons; of Winnipiseo- gee Lodge, No. 7, Independent Order of Odd Fel- lows; Laconia Encampment, No. 9, of which he is
