**The** **Gilbert Family** is one of the main Founding Families in *The Vampire Diaries*. They seem to be a fairly wealthy family, possessing a house (formerly owned as of *Stand By Me* after Alex burnt it down), a small building, which was originally Grayson Gilbert's Office and a lake house. The Gilbert family has been linked to the **Lockwood**, **Salvatore**, **Forbes**, and **Fell Families** since the 1800's.

## Family Members

* **Johnathan Gilbert:** Johnathan lived in Mystic Falls in the year 1864 and was part of the Founders' Council. Johnathan wrote a number of stories in journals about his life, including the existence of vampires. His descendants Jeremy, John, and Elena have also read his journals. He had two rings made that would protect the wearer from death by the supernatural - although the rings won't work on the supernatural even if they are essentially human (Doppelgängers) - and they were originally owned by John and Grayson Gilbert. After their deaths, Alaric Saltzman was the owner of one and Jeremy Gilbert is the owner of the other.
**Johnathan Gilbert's Unnamed Son:** He was Johnathan's son. He was the father of Samantha Gilbert. Nothing is known about him or his character. He was a member of the Gilbert family.

* **Samantha Gilbert:** Samantha was a young woman about 25 years old. She was smart and a beautiful brunette. She was one of the town's founding family members and appeared in flashbacks. She was killed by Damon Salvatore in 1912, but she wore a Gilbert Ring, so she was revived, but in 1922, she confessed committing a series of unsolved murders - similar to Alaric Saltzman in the present day who was corrupted by the darkness brought on by his ring - and was locked in an asylum, where she died while attempting to give herself a lobotomy and bled to death on the floor in her cell.
