• Note: She I have only recently started research in Oregon. In 1998 I finished a book covering Gilliams from 1635 to present day in NC. I found a very early descendant of the immigrant missing after the 1850 census in McDowell County, NC. As I was playing around online one night I found a query with familiar sounding Gilliam names. these people were in Oregon. Much to my surprise I found that they were my missind NC cousins. After checking with an Oregon cousin I found that the missing NC cousin had md. an Illinois cousin. As plain as I can tell it. Charles Gilliam and his wife Mary went to MO after 1850, Since that was not to theis liking they continued to Illinois where their daughter Rosa Ann Elizabeth md. Jasper Newton Gilliam, her 2nd cousin. From there they left for Oregon, arriving Or in Oct 1852. On this train were Jasper and his new wife Rosa Ann and two of Jaspers sisters. One Was Nancy Jane Gilliam who md Ellison Carl Johnson in Or and Lavinnie who md. Silas Foster in Or.- Charles Gilliam and wife Mary, daughters Sarah Sophronia, Minerva and sons William H. who md. Laura [K]?Capps in Clackamas Co., Alfred, Joseph Grayson [died early], James Erving[died early] Charles died before the first Oct was out. The others syayed a few years in Clackamas Co, went to Multnomah Co and later to Morrow. I am looking for living descendants of these lines. I am in contact with four of the cousins.
