From HISTORY OF MADISON COUNTY
W. H. Beers [Chicago, 1883]
Page 995
J. H. GILBERT, farmer and teacher, P. O. West Jefferson, is a son of Samuel and Rebecca M. (Harlan) Gilbert, natives of Maryland, where they were married and lived until 1837, when they emigrated to Ohio and settled in Franklin County, near Hilliard's Station. He was by occupation a farmer throughout his residence in the last-named county, where he and wife both died. Their children were eight in number, of whom seven are now living. Our subject, the fourth, was born in 1836, in Maryland, but from one year old lived in Franklin County, Ohio, where he acquired a fair education, while growing up on the farm under the guidance of his parents. In 1863, he first came to Madison County, where he now has a farm of nearly one hundred acres, on which his summers are mostly devoted. For the past fourteen years, he has devoted most of his winters to teaching school. He has been twice married, first, to Lucy Baker, who died in 1874, leaving three children. He was married, to Mrs. Harriet McCOllum, in 1878. They reside on their farm five miles northwest of Jefferson.
