[Bell.FTW]
[Colonial and Revolutionary Families of Pennsylvania, p 428]
Samuel Gilpin, eldest son of Joseph and Hannah (Glover) Gilpin, born at Dorchester, Oxfordshire, England, June 7, 1694, came with his parents to the banks of the Brandywine, in Chester, now Delaware
county, Pennsylvania, when a little more than a year old, and was reared in the cave and primitive house of his parents there. On January 25, 1722-3, he married Jane, daughter of John and Mary
(Doe) Parker, of Philadelphia, and they settled on a farm in Concord township, Chester county, where they lived for ten years, and then removed to Cecil county, Province of Maryland, where he
resided until his death, December 6, 1767. His wife Jane survived him until August 9, 1775. She was born March 24, 1701-2. Both are buried in a private burying-ground in what was the farm of their
son Joseph Gilpin, near the head of Elk river.
[Colonial and Revolutionary Families of Pennsylvania p 607]
Samuel Gilpin, the eldest [son] and second child of Joseph and Hannah (Glover) Gilpin, was born at Dorchester, Oxfordshire, England, June 7, 1694, and accompanied his parents to the wilderness of
southern Pennsylvania when a year old. He married, January 25, 1722-3, Jane Parker, and settled on a farm in Concord township, Chester county; the old home, in Birmingham, which became the
headquarters of General Howe during the battle of Brandywine, in 1777, passing to his younger brothers and their descendants. In 1733, Samuel Gilpin and his family removed to Nottingham township,
Cecil county, Maryland, settling a tract of 700 acres, previously purchased on the great northeast arm of Chesapeake bay, which was long known as Gilpin's Falls, or Gilpin's Rocks, the site of the
present town of North East. A natural water power there, has been converted into a great hydro-electric plant, owned by the Gilpin's Falls Electric Company, which supplies Elkton and the
neighboring places with light and power. Here Samuel Gilpin lived until his death, December 7, 1767. He was interred in a family burying ground, at "Gilpin Manor" the estate of his son Joseph,
hereafter mentioned. He served as a member of the provincial Assembly from Chester county, Pennsylvania, for the term of 1729-30.
