GILMORE.
THOMAS W. GILMORE was b. at Amherst, N. H., Mar. 27, 1794, and was of Scottish descent. His grandfather, James Gillmore (as he spelled his name), was a captain in the Revo- lution, and carried the broad accent of Scotland in his speech. Commencing at the age of 14, Thomas was educated to mer- cantile pursuits. On attaining his majority he embarked in trade for himself, and had a successful business at Sanbornton, at Goshen, and at Newport, until about 1833, when he was appointed clerk of the courts for Sullivan county, which office he held until 1858, a period of 25 years. In 1860 he was nom- inated for presidential elector on the Douglas ticket. He was one of the founders of the National Bank in town, was a direc- tor, and for nearly twenty years its president. He was also a director in the Savings Bank. His mind was well balanced, and his financial judgment seldom erred. At his death he had devised the largest estate ever left in town. He always took a lively interest in the affairs of the village, and gave to the nu- merous charities of the day without ostentation.

GILES.
BENJAMIN GILES, one of the early settlers, said to have been an Irishman by birth, came from Groton, Conn., and was dur- ing his life the leading man, not only of the town, but of this section of the state. He was a man of wealth and education beyond most of the early settlers. He was a devoted patriot. During the Revolution he was an important member of the provincial councils of the state ; and during almost the entire Revolutionary struggle he was a delegate to the various con- ventions, or, as they were then called, "provincial congresses," which met to devise means for carrying on the war, and form- ing plans of government. He was a member of the convention which formed the first constitution of the state ; was a member of the commission to settle the difficulties in regard to the
397
GENEALOGY.
boundary between Massachusetts and New Hampshire. It is said that he was imprisoned, by authority of His Majesty, for seditious acts, but when it was evening he was rescued by a band of patriots dressed in female attire. He was a represent- ative, in 1775 and 1776, of six then classed towns in this vicin- ity ; he was also a member of the state senate, and was elected to the council. When this town seceded from New Hamp- shire, in March, 17SI, he was elected a delegate to the general assembly of Vermont, which was to meet at Windsor. He erected the first grist- and saw-mill in town. He died Nov., 1787, aged 70 years. His sister Mary m. Christopher Newton.
