The paternal grandparent of John Gillett, the subject of this sketch, was a native of Connecticut, and married, Nov. 14, 1754, Abigail Hough, and had a family of nine children, of whom Joseph, the father of Captain John Gillett, was born in Conneeti- cut also, and in youth removed to near New Lebanon Springs; then settled in Steuben County, then Painted Post, now Corning, previous to his marriage. He was among the very early pioneers of this county. He married Miss Catherine, daughter of Aaron and Catherine Hunt, of Wyoming, N. Y., Sept. 6, 1795. Miss Hunt was born April 20, 1778, and Joseph Gillett was born Dee. 8, 1771. Of this union nine children were born, of whom Captain John was the second son and third child. Captain Joseph was a farmer by occupation. He was one of the promi- nent men of Painted Post; was magistrate for some fourteen consecutive years, also supervisor of the town. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, and acted in the capacity of captain. He was wounded in one of the engagements, and was brought home. He died Sept. 29, 1848, and his wife died Oct. 18, 18-11.
Captain John Gillett was born in the old town of Painted Post, four miles from Corning, toward Elmira, Nov. 15, 1801. He lived with his parents until he was about twenty, when he married Miss Betsey Butcher, daughter of George Buteher, of Luzerne Co., Pa., Dee. 14, 1821. John learned the
gunsmith trade when a boy. Mrs. John Gillett was born Jan. 5, 1794. Of this union of Mr. and Mrs. Gillett eight children were born, viz .: George, Wil- liam, Sarah H., Mary E., Catherine E., George (1st), Joseph, and Rhoda M. Of these, George (1st), Sarah H., Catherine E., and Joseph are dead. Mrs. Gillett died July 18, 1869, and Mr. Gillett married his present wife Sept. 16, 1877. Captain John eame into Caton in 1822, and settled May 9, 1823, and is one of the oldest settlers of the town, and is living on the same farm he settled on at that early day. He formerly was a Demoerat, but of late years he has been identified with the Republican party. He has been justice of the peace for eight years, and supervisor for one term, and assessor for eight years ; in fact, he has held nearly all the important offices of his town. For more than fifty years he was pilot down the Chemung and Susquehanna, and was con- sidered one of the best on these rivers, but his prin- eipal business has been farming. He still resides on the " Old Home" where he settled in 1823. He has been one of the leading farmers of Caton, and a man highly respected by those who know him. His present wife is a native of New Jersey, and settled in Steuben County in 1851.
Mr. Gillett's two wives have been members of the Baptist Church, and Mr. Gillett a regular attendant on the same. He was chorister for many years.

The subject of this sketch was born in Harring- ton, Litchfield Co., Conn., in the year 1805, Aug. 10. His parents were natives of Connecticut also, and removed to this State (New York), and located at Laurens, Otsego Co., when he was a child. They remained in that county about twelve years, and then removed to Guilford, Chenango Co.
William D. remained with his parents until his majority, assisting them in various kinds of business, such as farming, blacksmithing, and lumbering. He received a common school and academic education at Oxford Academy. Mr. Gilbert remained in Guil- ford until 1845, engaged in the mercantile trade and blacksmithing.
In 1846 he located at Corning, Steuben Co., and engaged in the manufacture of car springs for one Judson Mallory, now deceased. In 1849 he settled in Caton, and opened the first store in said town ; continued in the mercantile trade until April 1, 1875, when he retired from business.
He has held many official positions, to the general satisfaction of his constituents. He has been post- master for twenty-five years, justice of the peace
eighteen years, supervisor a number of years, and justice of sessions for three terms.
His present family consists of a wife and two sons. The oldest son, Rufus H., was born in Guilford, Chenango Co., N. Y., Jan. 26, 1832. He was edu- cated a physician and surgeon, and graduated at the New York Medical College; entered his profession in said city, and continued to practice until the Re- bellion, when he entered the army as physician and surgeon of a regiment. He was for some time on General Dix's staff, and was appointed medical direc- tor at Fort Monroe. He remained in the service until the close of the war, when he became con- nected with the Central Railroad in New Jersey. He then became engaged in the elevated railroad of the city of New York. He obtained a charter from the Legislature of this State for the road ; said road is known as "The Gilbert Elevated and Rapid Transit Road of the City of New York,' named in honor of its renowned projector. Mr. Gilbert is now engaged in that business. The second son, Wm. H. Gilbert, is now a medical student at Ann Arbor, Mich.
