to the fact that the Washlngtons and Gill
pins had intermarred in England, to which

In 1875, Gilpin & Taylor sold their pro-
perty at Gilpin's Falls to John Copson for
f40C. We learn from the deed that there
was saw mill upon it at that time. The
fact that they sold it for $50 less than they
gave for it was probably because Copson
and Gilpin exchanged lands in that year,
and mutually exchanged deeds at that time,
for we find that Gilpn bought from Cop
son, in that year, 500 acres, called COOKS
Park in the forks of the North East
creeks, for 1900. The same year he pur-
chased of Edward Rumsey $50 acres, adj
joining Cox's Park, in the forks of North
East. This tract was part of Stony Chase,
now in the possession of the Mccullough
Iron Company, and part Of Rumsey's Ram
BILE, which had been taken up and patented
by Rumsey, short time before. At this
time New Connaught Manor was in the
possession of the Lord Proprietary, and
Gilpin had a small part of it, containing
nine acres, adjoining his other land at the
forks of the North East, patented to him.
In 1861, Joseph Gilpin bought ten acres
of land part of the estate of the late DR..
John Gilpin) from Thomas Ricketts,, it
being part of Worth Little" and Dole
dyfe," he having had the site of the mill
condemned a short time before by writ of
dd qH09 ddnmUDt The site Of the mill
contained ten acres, and at that time the
boundaries were not yet located. In 1868,
Samuel Gilpin sold part of his land on the
North East to his son Joseph, and two
years later the remainder of it to his son
Samuel. 1t is probable that he came to
reside with his son Joseph about this time,
for he died at his house in 1867, aged "A
years. His tombstone is yet standing in
the Gilpin graveyard, on the bank of Big
Elk, short distance above the bridge,
north Of Elkton, where many of his de-
scendants are buried. Hi son Samuel,
who died i'll 1873, once lived in the house
on Bow street, recently occupied by Mrs.
Hetty Duke. He was the proprietor, at
one time of an oil mill in Virginia. His
brother, Joseph Gilpin, lived and died at
the old mansion house, near the bridge,
which be built in 1860.
He was presiding Justice of the court
of this county for some time before his
death, which occurred in 1899. He also
represented this county in the convention
that administered the government of the
province in 1775-G, before the organization
of the State.
He was the grandfather of Miss Mary,
Joseph, Henry, DR.. John and William H.
Gilpin, two of whom yet survive.
