Notes
a. Note:   N3451 Revolutionary War Service
  John Gilmer (1748–90) was an officer under Marquis de Lafayette at the siege of Yorktown. He was born in Williamsburg, Va.; died on Broad River, Georgia.
  DAR: 55038, 65422, 73324, 81858, 86970, 108803, 112462, 115874, 482169
b. Note:   N3450 In some contemporary works he is referred to as "Dr. John Blair Gilmer". First, he was never a physician and did not use "Dr." in his writings. Second, his name was listed as simply "John Gilmer" in his father's Bible entry; this is also how he signed his name throughout his life.
  John & Mildred's first property was a 1200 acre tract lying in Louisa and Albemarle counties. Later they were in Amherst Co. where he served as an officer of the militia during the Revolution. They moved to Broad River Georgia, where their home was on the east side of Millstone Creek in Oglethorpe County, adjoining the lands of his brother in law, Francis Mer iwether. Their graves have been lost due to vandalism of the area.
