William's wife was Elizabeth White, b. in the County of Londonderry, Ireland, who came to this country when she was four years old. William and Elizabeth had seven sons and four daughters. Richard was the third son and, from 14 till 18 years of age, lived with William Smith. He then lived two years with a Mr. Bellows, whose house, during that time, was broken open and robbed of some prop- erty. The robber, whose name was Linsey or Lindsey, con- cealed himself in the chamber of a house in Fitchburg and, being armed with a loaded musket, threatened death to any- one who should approach him. Gilchrest ascended a ladder, entered the chamber, disarmed and secured the robber, who was hung. Gilchrest worked a short time in Littleton, Mass., driving a team, for which he was celebrated. He then went to Swanzey, N. H., and lived with an uncle. He responded to the call to arms, Apr. 20, 1775, described on page 176. In the
