I'm trying to find the family of Elizabeth GILPIN m. Noah HAYDEN 23 May
1804 Mercer Co.KY.

In 1788 Elizabeth entered into an agreement with Noah to raise his two
children, and keep house for him. By 1804 she had married him, and by that
time had 3 children with him and
had three more after that time.

It would seem that Elizabeth only being 17 or 18 years old when she
started working for Noah,she took part of her payment in Land and aquired
several acres and had animals and household goods of her own when they did
marry....as she continued to buy land before and after their marriage.

It would only seem reasonable that her family had lived in the Mercer Co.
area or somewhere close, possibly both parents having died of disease or some
other malady...having left Elizabeth with the need to take care of herself at
an early age.
If anyone has a GILPIN family that has an Elizabeth in it around the age
of mine, I would appreciate hearing from you....or if anyone has any ideas of
where else or whatelse I could do to track her family down, please let me
know, as I'm open to any suggestions.

Thanks so much,
