General Notes: Husband - George Gilpin

---

Most of the children of Joseph Gilpin died before the Revolutionary War came on, but his son George, then living at Alexandria, Virginia, at once entered the army, becoming colonel of the Fairfax militia. Washington knew him, and he accompanied the General, was with him in the battle of Dorchester Heights, Massachusetts, and remained with him until the close of the war. Later Colonel Gilpin was intimately associated with Washington in navigation investigation being made regarding the Potomac river, and the close friendship of the two men endured until the death of Washington; Colonel Gilpin was one of the pall bearers at his funeral.
