Husband of Nancy C. Goodwin
Son of William Carr and Angely F. Scott.

Andrew Marion Carr was born April 17, 1867, near Lebanon, in Laclede County, Missouri. His parents were William Carr and Angely Francis Scott.

When Andrew was young, his father died. His mother remarried July 3, 1870 Adam Darrow, whom eventually had at least five wives. Angely died about thirteen years later, when Andrew was about sixteen years old.

Andrew did not care for his stepfather and left home soon after his mother died. Andrew's stepfather gave land to each of his children when they married, but Andrew never received anything. Andrew always felt his mother's estate was taken by his stepfather, though this is unproven.

After leaving home, Andrew worked on farms in the area and on 15 May 1887, in Laclede County, Missouri, married Nancy Clementine "Tiny" Goodwin, who was born there in 1872. Andrew and Nancey were married by their brother-in-law, Reverend W. Hartel Mitchell, who was the officiating minister, for both theirs and brother, Pinkney Goodwin’s weddings. When Andrew married Nancy, she was three months shyof sixteen years old.

For a while, after their marriage, Andrew continued to work on the farms in the area, until sometime before the 1900 census, they moved to Neck City, Jasper County, Missouri, where Andrew worked in the mills for the lead and zinc mines there. Sometime before 1913, they moved by covered wagon, lead by a team of horses named Bill and George to Hattenville in Ottawa County, Oklahoma. On July 15, 1913, Hattenville became Commerce. There he probably worked in the lead and zinc mines too. These lead and zinc deposits were part of the same large continuous deposits Andrew worked on in Neck City. Sometime after 1916 they moved to nearby Century City, Oklahoma. Andrew died of heart trouble in Commerce City, October 15, 1945.

One fact about Commerce, Oklahoma - On April 6, 1934, Clyde Barrow of "Bonnie and Clyde" fame and Henry Methvin shot two lawmen near this town — one fatally. Sometime around then one of Andrew's sons, (Roy if memory is correct) and some family members, were stopped by a gun toting Clyde Barrow, who jumped on the running board of their pick-up truck, and ordered them to pull his car out of the nearby ditch, after Clyde's car was back on the road, they were let go to tell the tale.

From notes by Tina Mae Gilliland Bushong in 1984

My earliest memories of my Grandpa and Grandma Carr, were of softness and gentleness. My grandfather, Andrew had developed a hernia and was no longer able to work in the lead and zinc mills, so they sold milk and eggs they got from their rented farm. When my family went to visit, Grandpa always took me to the store with him and always managed to find a nickel for me to spend.

John Gilliland was born about 1638 in Scotland. He was married in Scotland. He died on 26 October 1684, at age ~46.

Gillilans to America

John Gilliland b1638

The Gilliland surname is found as far back as the 1300’s in Scotland. William Gilliland was born in Scotland in 1538. One of his sons was James, born in 1568. One of James’ sons was John, born in 1593. That John had a son named John, but not a “Jr.” John Gilliland (Iain MacGill'fhaolain) was indeed born about 1638 (in North Edinburgh, Scotland). John probably grew up as a farmer and learned the leather trade as he went along. The story starts with the earliest mentioning of John in the Monmouth's rebels. Most likely, John fought in the 1679 Battle of Bothwell Bridge. The bridge, locatedin South Lanarkshire, Scotland is over the Clyde River, nine miles east-south-east of Glasgow. This John had a son named John Gilliland in 1668.


“On June 22, 1679, the royal army under the command of the Duke of Monmouth moved against the Covenanters at Bothwell Bridge on the Clyde. The Covenanters after a stubborn fight on the bridge were routed by cannon fire, whereupon the King's forces crossed and soon dispersed the main body.”
From MacEdward Leach, The Ballad Book. Text, Scott, iii, 209.

This is where our family’s story of faith and family begins in America. Immigration documents show that a man named John Gilliland (b. 1668) was an alleged Covenanter, banished to the East New JerseyPlantations, in America. Vol. XI, of The Register of Privy Council, Edinburgh, states that, in 1685, John Gilliland, then a sailor, and his wife, Agnes Craige (she was from Ireland), and a newborn sonresided in the coastal town of Saltcoats, Ayrshire, Scotland (which, oddly enough, overlooks “The Firth Of Clyde”). In May of that year, John Gilliland was listed as a Covenanter Prisoner in Edinburgh, or Leith Tolbooth to be exact, and was eventually tried, convicted, booted out, and subsequently escorted via sailing ship from Scotland. Leith is the port for the legendary city of Edinburgh. [This information comes from a book titled; “Scots Banished To The American Plantations, 1650-1775”, by David Dobson, published by Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc., 1983, page 57.] Those documents go on to state that John was banished and the family sailed from Leith, Scotland, June 25, to the East New Jersey Plantations, arriving July 30, and that he was under the supervision of Robert Barclay.John was released immediately after an appeal, dated August 10, 1685, and came to the American colonies as a free man.

Genealogists, James R. Gilliland and Wayne Fourmont, have been working on this line for decades and provide the following account of the same story in their research:

John Gilliland, a deported Scot prisoner from Scotland who fought at the Battle of Bothwell Bridge near Glasgow, with other relatives and neighbors and friends. He was captured and put in chains at the Tolbooth prison at Leith, Scotland. He was sent there for being a covenanter (for not accepting the religion that England was trying to force upon them.) Many were given the chance for their lives or some form of freedom, if they would denounce their religious beliefs, and swear their faith to the Church of England, and an oath to the King of England. John Gilliland along with other Scots would not change their principles and were sent to the Kings Plantation abroad, never to return. The men had their ears "cropped" (cut off)and the women were branded upon the face with a letter. If they were to ever return they would face immediate death. They were shackled and chained and were and were put below deck for the whole journey. Hundreds would die during the long trips at sea.


Ships lists and various other official documents show that several members of the Scots/Irish Gilliland clan were not only sent to America, but also to Jamaica, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, Dominican Republic, Virgin Islands, West Indies, New Zealand, Australia, Nova Scotia, and Canada. In the United States, records show that New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina were the states where the Gilliland’s are originally located in the late 1600’s. By the early 1700’s, Gilliland’s had spread to Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Kansas, and Missouri. By the 1800’s, the families had gone on to Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Kentucky, Illinois, California, Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, spreading out to all of the nation bythe 1900’s. By virtue of so many of the Gilliland clan being disbursed across the globe, many other races, creeds, religions and cultures have been “cross-pollinated” into our family. This helps toexplain an earlier statement I made about our being related to the whole world. We have Native Americans, Afro-Americans, Aboriginal Tribes, Island Tribes, Asians, Various Scots/Irish clans, Europeans, Slavic, and etc, as part of our Gilliland roots and heritage on an enormous intercontinental scale. That is something to celebrate and put our hearts around. No family on earth is a “pure” racefamily, no matter which way you try to skew the facts. If one digs into the genealogy long enough, one will find out that we are all connected on this planet. That is a fact!

The following is a very short, direct paternal route from John Gilliland, to Matthew Gillian.
John Gilliland and Agnes had a son named Samuel Gilliland. He was born in 1685, just before the family set sail for America. The immigration documents show that Samuel indeed came to America with hisfamily. Samuel was married, but his wife’s name is currently unknown. John Gilliland moved from New Jersey to Virginia in 1740. John later moved back to New Brunswick, New Jersey in the 1750’s. Somerecords indicate that Samuel may have gone back to Scotland for a brief time in 1718-1720.

Samuel Gilliland and his wife had a son named Nathan Gilliland. He was born about 1721. Nathan married Jane Donahue about 1745 in Augusta County, VA. They eventually settled in the Pocohantas/Greenbrier county area. There are tax and deed records from Greenbrier County concerning Nathan and his family. In the Annuls of Augusta County, VA., we find under the date of May 18, 1783, that “Nathan is about to move out of the county.” This is most likely when he actually went to live in Greenbrier County. This area was only partially settled many years earlier, but, was still rugged Indian country, where there were many Indian massacres. In 1761, the entire settlement was virtually wiped out in the area. Only two men lived through it, except for some women and children who were taken captive. In1766-1767, the then Governor of Virginia made a ruling that if any of the original settlers wanted to return and resettle in the lands beyond the mountains, they would not need to pay any taxes for 15years. The records show a deed from December 2, 1785: from Patrick Henry, Governor of Virginia, to Nathan Gilliland, 580 acres adjoining William Poage, Charles Clendenand, and William Boggs. Nathan died in about the year 1788 or 1789. During his life, records show Nathan was an overseer and hired hand in building and maintaining a road from Young’s Mill to Buchanan’s Mill in Augusta County VA., on August 20, 1752.

Nathan Gilliland and his wife had a son named James Gilliland. James was born on March 16, 1749, in Augusta County, VA. He was married to (1) Lydia Armstrong, about 1770, (2) Jane Edmiston Smith, in 1819. According to Family Bible, and military records, James served 2 years, 10 months in the Revolutionary War, and was an Indian spy under Captain’s Hamilton and Renick, and under Colonel’s Lewis andDonally. He was denied a pension in Greenbrier County on December 17, 1833. The reason for the denial is unknown. James died February 14, 1844, in Falling Springs, Greenbrier County, WV.

James Gilliland and his wife had a son named James Gilliland Jr. James Jr. was born about 1786, in Greenbrier County, WV. He was married to Margaret Boggs in 1802. It is at this point, a very significant change appears in the census records and other documents: the last name of James Jr. and Margaret’s children is listed as Gillilan, instead of Gilliland, dropping the “d” at the end. James died between, 1840 and 1850, in Gallia County, Ohio.

James Gilliland Jr. and his wife had a son named David Gillilan. Once again, remember the “d” on the end has been dropped in the last name. He was born in 1818 in Ohio. His wife was Clarissa Carter Allison. They were married March 4, 1840, in Gallia County, Ohio. Census records show that David lived, in Walnut Township in Gallia County, all of his married life. His occupations were listed as a farmer and miller. Records indicate that his second wife may have been Angeline Ellis. They had a few children together as well, maybe from Angeline’s previous marriage. This is unclear at this time. David died in 1897 in Gallia County, Ohio.

David Gillilan and his first wife (Clarissa) had a son named Thomas Jefferson Gillilan. He was born May 20, 1847, in Walnut Township, Gallia County, Ohio. Now is where the last name changes yet againon census records and other documents. Thomas was married more than once, but not more than three times. His first wife was Mary Isabelle Richmond. His second wife was Hazel Mary Ward. His third wifewas Elizabeth “Betty” Ann Fox. They were married on September 10, 1892, at Laurel Creek, WV. This was also Betty Ann’s second marriage, and Betty had a child named Dova Mae. On a previously undiscovered legal document, I found that in 1896, Thomas Jefferson was still using the last name of “Gillilan.” Documents indicate, in 1900, Thomas is residing at 274 Green Sulphur, with his last name as: Gilland. In the 1910 census, he is listed as Thomas Gillian, living in Summers County, WV. Nonetheless, Thomas and Betty Ann had a huge family, to say the least. Thomas died August 17, 1927, in Sandstone, WV. The last name “changes” are still a mystery to be solved. Thomas Jefferson was also listed in various earlier census and other documents between 1860 and 1900, with the last names of Gilliland,Gillilan, Gillun, Gillin, Gillan, Gillen, Gillion, and Gillon, all with the same vital statistics showing him to be the same person. Keep in mind here, that a great number of the census takers themselves were nearly illiterate, and the handwriting, even worse. This could account for some of the spelling discrepancies. T.J. Gillian had a whole passel of children (15 – 18, depending on who’s counting) during his career as an apparent “professional father.” Thomas Jefferson Gillian died from a stroke at Ramp in 1927.

Thomas Jefferson Gillian and his third wife had a son named Oliver Clyde Gillian. He was born on October 14, 1896, Sandstone, WV. He married Anna Clyde Richmond in September, 1921 at Pearisburg, VA. He was a railroad brakeman for the C&O Railroad. She was a homemaker. “He-Clyde” died on June 8, 1961, in Sandstone, WV. Much is known about this bunch and will be lovingly shared later in this book, as well. GILLILAND New

Gilliland Surname - Its mandatory to know where a person came from and to know the past history of their family. With the knowledge of a family past comes the honor of the families future. In my research I found hundreds of families that disappeared from the face of the earth not to be seen or heard of again. Our family should be heard and always seen though the eyes of our children. As parents we should teach children to respect their family history. Shall we let the works of our past kinsman go to waste or shall we keep up the records of our wide spread clan to bring together family we have never seen or heard of.

The Gilliland name or MacGill'fhaolain in our gaelic language comes from Scotland our true home. The variations of the name Gilliland as follows: MacGill'fhaolain , Mcgill'olane , Macgillelane , Gilliand , Gilleland , Gilland , MacGill'fhaolain means " son of servant " the MacGill'fhaolain clan were followers of a Saint Fillon ( Fallon ) . The word Gill in archaic form means royalty ( Of the land ). Note the word "Gill" not Gille two different meanings. The Gilliland or MacGill'fhaolain clan lived in the middle of Scotland. Over the years different lines of the family change the spelling of there name to make pronunciation simple. Also some families could not spell so it made signing there name less stressful. The Gilliland's have survived many wars and many cultures trying to take or change there ways and customs.

St. Fillan (Fhaolain, Foelan) was the son of St. Kentigerna and Feriach. was also known as Foelan.
He became an abbot near St. Andrews in 8th Century Scotland. He retired and built a church at Glendochart in Perthshire. "Source (The Saints, John Coulson, Hawthorne Books, NY) He died on
19 January, 703 A.D. His feast day is January 19.

Gille is an ancient Gaelic prefix meaning steward, disciple, follower, or son of . the surnames Gilliland, Gilfillian, Gilleland, McClelland, MacLelland, Leland, Whelan and Phelan all mean disciple of St. Fillan (which means "little wolf.") The root word is Mac-Giolla-Fhaolain (Gaelic). The Gillilands and the MacLellands, along with the MacRaes, were the arms bearers (warriors) for the McKenzie Clan in Rosshire for eight centuries. (American Surnames, Elsdon Smith, Chilton Co, 1969) This information was email to me and the address could not be return , The Gilliland site thanks you for you contributions.

From the author, there are different spellings for names and places because of the lack of keeping
good records or how the word sounds is how people would spell it. You will find in any research
that gaelic names are spelled two or three different ways. Do not be discouraged in your research.
You will always have to cross reference your work.

I will be uploading an ancient dictionary from the 7th century for terms and explanations. You will find that many words relate to the same content.

Pension Record for James Slover
Revolutionary War
Pension S 921

"This depondent states that he was born on the twenty-ninth day of August in the
year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and fifty-four in the Township and
County aforesaid (North Brunswick Township, Middlesex County) and has a record
of his age, and that he has never changed his residence. That upon the
declaration of war, he attached himself to a militia company commanded by Capt.
John Waglum, being a resident within the bounds thereof; that previous to the
arrival of the enemy at Sandy Hook, the company met together for exercise and
improvement, and that Peter Perrine was Lieutenant and John gilliland, Ensign.
When the British Army arrived at Sandy Hook, the company to which he belonged
was mustered and marched to Perth Amboy; that they were there while the enemy
were landing upon Staten Island and he thinks that he then performed one monthly
duty. On their return the company was divided into three classes and were called
out in rotation and that he performed his regular tours, along the eastern
border of the state from Perth Amboy to Powles Hook,-different Captains were
detailed for the several tours; recollects to have been out with Capt. Gulick
and Capt. Dey and that the superior officers that he knew and who were there
were, Cols Neilson, Taylor and Duychinck and Majors Egbert and Van Emburgh and
that in addition to the regular duty performed he served on many expeditions and
often in the night on alarms along the Raritan, st South Amboy and the borders
of Monmouth. He is confident that up to the time the British Army came to New
Brunswick, he performed at least three months of actual service. When the
British Army took possession of New Brunswick this depondent resided about six
miles south of that place, and very soon after a party of British dragoons came
out, surrounded the house in which he, Asher Bysert and Daniel Slover were, and
made them prisoners of war, and conducted them to New Brunswick and from thence
they were sent with many others in a sloop to the city of New York and
incarcerated in the 'sugar house', where they were confined closely, in a state
of hunger and extreme privation, and where many died from want of the
necessities of life, in this prision they remained for fourteen months, when
they were exchanged. On his return he again joined his company under Waglum. The
British Army was then in Philadelphia, again performed his regular tours of
duty, until the enemy again invaded New Jersey. The militia were all called out
and marched toward the Delaware River, until they met the advance of the British
Army, he thinks near Mt. Holly in Burlington County and he recollects that he
was under the command of Col. Neilson and Major Egbert and Major Emburgh. They
then returned to the border of Monmouth County. There the memorable battle was
found and that he was there and engaged during the whole conflict. The British
being again in possession of New York, the militia were called out as before to
perform duty along the eastern shore from Perth Amboy to Powles Hook. About this
time, Col. Simcoe, made an incursion into the state of New Jersey as far as a
place called Millstone and burned Somerset Courthouse situated there. On this
day he was on duty, and with Thomas Stillwell and Joeph Cloyd were made
prisoners with several others and conducted to New York and again confined in
the 'sugar house', where he remained five months and was exchanged in the spring
of 1780, having suffered greatly from the excessive cold of the memorable
winter. 'On my return I attached myself to the same company and peformed my
regular tours of dury, when called upon, until the conclusion of the war'.
