George Gill, Revolutionary War Soldier
A professional researcher in Ireland said the Gills and Hamiltons had land next door to each other in Ireland. Patrick Hamilton held lease of land previously held by Patrick Hamilton in 1693. He Emigrated to America 1756 at the same time as George Gill. He was already married. His daughter Jennet must have been born after the family reached America. Both Patrick Hamilton and George Gill had held leases from the Clanbrassil estate; George Gill at Clanbrassil near Lurgan and Patrick Hamilton at Granshaw, Comber, Down, Ireland.

Remarks on family genealogy written by George Washington Gill Averett:
Sometime after the surrender of Commander Wallace, they emigrated to North Carolina, and had one child, Mary Gill. Soon after, Grandfather George Gill and his wife Gennett emigrated on pack animals to the Daniel Boone settlement in the wilds of Kentucky, there lived and Fort-ed and fought with Daniel Boone in the early settlement of that state, and finally settled in Baron County, Kentucky, some of them married there.
Soon after this, in the early settlement of the Duck River country in Tennessee, my grandfather moved from the State of Kentucky to Duck River also, I think Wayne county and lived there and in the adjoining county - Maury county, until he and grandmother Gennett Gill both died, I think in Wayne County Tennessee. Some of thier family died in the same county, some before and others afterward.
My uncles Robert, John and Peter Gill and, perhaps James Gill, served in the war of 1812 to 1815. Some of them fought under General Andrew Jackson in the south and some of them under General Harrison in the battle of Tippecanoe and other places; all of them being patriotic freeborn american citizens, always ready and willing to help "maintain" that American independence that their Father George Gill and their Grandfather of the same name, George Gill, and the many Revolutionary fathers fought and died for to gain. The Gill family, as far as known, fought as both private soldiers and one of the family as an officer. All as far as I have been agble to learn, have been true to the cause of liberty. My grandfather George Gill lived to have the privilege of drawing a pension for many years before his death.
