The Morris Clan

Edward GILMAN and Mary HAWES

HUSBAND:
[F15108]. Edward GILMAN. (Gyllman-S3).
Edward Gilman was born on 22 June 1555 in (Caston-S1)(Hingham-S5,S9), Norfolk, England; son of Edward GILMAN [F30216] and Rose RYSSE [F30217]. He was christened on 20 April 1557 (10 July 1559-S14) at Caston, Norfolk, England.

According to Source 3 {S3b}, Edward was born Robert Edward GYLLMAN. He later dropped the Robert and changed the spelling of his surname. This would account for the confusion concerning this generation. This is also borne out by the fact that sources that do show Robert as a separate child, give him the same death date as Edward, (see source 5 {S5}), and that show that Robert's wife was also named Mary (see source 5 {S5}). See also S8, which attributes children of Edward to Robert. The one item that gives me pause is the christening date in Caston given as 10 July 1559 {S14}. Until I can verify the christening dates in Caston, I will consider Edward and Robert to be the same.

Edward married Mary HAWES [F15109] in 1561 in Caston, Norfolk, England.

Edward left Caston and settled in Hingham, Norfolk, England. (S1). [So is it correct that he died in Caston instead of Hingham?].

On 2 March 1631 he enfeoffed his son John with lands devised by his father Edward in 1572.

He died (was buried-S1) 6 March 1631 in Caston, Norfolk, England.

He is mentioned in his brother Lawrences will in 1639. {S14}. [Why after his death?].

WIFE:
[F15109]. Mary HAWES.
She was born 1561 in Hingham, Norfolk, England. {S1}.

Note from S4: Some online and and WFT-CD databases give her name as Mary HAWES but the source is unidentified. The LDS IGI lists Edward Gilman's (b. 1557) wife as Mary Hawes, but she is unnamed in the Gilman genealogy.( The Story of the Gilmans & a Gilman Genealogy - Constance Ames (1950)).

She married Edward GILMAN [F15108] in Caston, Norfolk, England.

She died (was buried-S9) on 9 March 1617-1618 in Caston, Norfolk, England. {S1,S5}.

CHILDREN of Edward GILMAN [F15108] and Mary HAWES [F15109]:

Robert GILMAN.(S5). Born in (1581/1589-S?)(1581-S5)(1585-S8) in Caston, Norfolk, England. He married Rose HAWES on 14 MAY 1611, Hingham, Norfolk, England. He died in 1658.
Bridget GILMAN. Born in 1582 in Hingham, Norfolk, England {S1}. She married Edward LINCOLN, son of Richard LINCOLN and Elizabeth REMCHING, in 1603 in Hingham, Norfolk, England. President Abraham Lincoln's pedigree goes back to Hingham and to a long line of respected ancestors. The fact that Richard Lincoln was buried in the middle aisle of St. Andrew's is evidence that he was one of the Gentry class. He died possessed of a considerable estate but the children of his fourth marriage acquired all of his property except a small amount of land, which was granted to his son Edward by the Chancery Court. Bridget's son Thomas emmigrated to America with his aunt Mary Gilman Jacob in 1633 on the ship Bonadventure, settling in Hingham, Massachusetts. Thomas Lincoln was called the Weaver. Bridget's son Samuel was the direct ancestor of Abraham Lincoln. Bridget died in Hingham, Norfolk, England {S1}.
