*NOTE: I am not related to the following persons, nor can I provide any other information.

fra the Kittson County Book
GEORGE & HELGA GILLIE: page 151

George Gillie was born in Thompson township on the farm January 9, 1914 to William and Rena Gillie. He was the youngest of 10 children, three of them being half-brothers.

He completed the 8th grade in District 16 in 1928. His father had died when he was 6 years old so after completing his grade school education, he remained on the farm with is mother. In 1933, george began farming the half section which comprised the home farm. His mother was still with him but that first summer she passed away.

George Gillie and Helga Foss were married Sept 10, 1939 at the Two River Lutheran Church. They are the parents of two sons: Gerald and David.

Before her marriage, Helga Foss, daughter of Mr and Mrs George Foss graduated fra Hallock High Scool, attended a one year rural teaching course at Moorhead State College and then taught Kittson County Rural Schools for six years.

William & Rena Gillie: bio

ccountr1 — 2010-12-27 15:40:52Z

* Note: I am not related to the following persons, nor can i provide you with any other information.

fra the Kittson County Book, MN
WILLIAM & RENA GILLIE:- page 152

William Thomas Morris Gillie was born in Guysbury, Nova Scotia on July 16, 1851 and later moved with his parents, John & Isabelle McPherson Gillie to Huron County, Ontario. His father was born in England and his mother in Nova Scotia. They came to Kittson County and located on a farm west of Hallock in about 1800. William had two brothers, John and James, and three sisters: Mary (Mrs John Prosser), Sara (Mrs Peter Konzen) and Annie (Mrs Cozens).

There are som unique relationships in the Gillie-Cozens family. William and John were married to sisters: Mary Rosetta and Elizabth Cozens. Their mother died, so a sister of their husbands married their father. So figure it out -- their sister-in-law, Annie became their step-mother; William and John's sister became their mother-in-law, etc.

William married Mary Rosetta Cozens about 1887. They had three sons: Rowley, Joseph and Ernest. Their mother died at the age of 31 years. On Dec 25, 1898 William married Rena Krogstad at the home of her parents, Mr and Mrs Ole O. Krogstad in Hazelton township. Rena was born in Norway, May 7, 1877 and came to this country at the age of 5 years. William and Rena had seven children: John at Williams; Albert; Fred at Williams; Margaret (Mrs Levin Vagle at Lake Bronson; Myrtle and Mabel - twins - Mrs Birtle Truedsn at Kennedy and Mrs Fred Magnuson at Blackduck); and George who started farming the home farm at the age of 19 and continued farming with his son Gerad.

After moving to Thompson township in Feb 1899, Rena who had very little formal education attended District 16 school for a time with her step-sons, Rollie, Joe and Ernest to better her command of the English language.

Rena was a member of the Bethleham Lutheran Church near their home but her husband maintained his membership at the Methodist Church in Hallock as the worship services at the Bethleham Church were conducted in the Norwegian language until after his death. Mrs Gillie was also very active in the International Order of Good Templers.

Willimam Gillie died suddenly on Sept 22, 1920 at age 69 years. Mrs Gillie did on July 4, 1933. Mr Gillie is named as one of the earliest settlers in the county.

The photo in my previous post is of my dad's half-uncle and one-time husband of Marion, Clayton Cameron MacNeal, taken in about 1955 in Tucson, AZ. Clayton passed away in 1959 at the Los Angeles VA Hospital. He was in the US Navy during World War One.

MARION J. GILLIE (1903 - ?) Chandler MacNeal

wilso127 — 2010-05-24 12:52:07Z

She was living with her parents and her brother Robert, a family practice dentist in Greenwich CT, in 1927. Prior to that she had been married to a man named Chandler (briefly) that produced a son who was a student at the Staunton Military Academy in VA in the 1930's. In 1927, she married my dad's half-uncle, Clayton C. MacNeal at her home in Greenwich. But they were divorced in 1938, and Clayton later remarried. I'm trying to find out info on the rest of Marion's life, and whatever happened to her son.
Does this ring a bell for anyone?

BlairJohnAnderson — 2008-06-14 23:09:47Z

>I can see an Isable Gillie born 1838 on the 1841 Scotland census,

Found her too, age is right, and its the only one, aside from spelling that fits the dates. The 'parish' details may confirm or exclude. Your contribution could be very promising in helping find the linkages.

>parents listed as James and Elizabeth both born in 1811, siblings Anne and Thomas.

Living in the same household (1841 census) was a James Smith (age 2) and a Margaret Smith (25) who it would seem is James's mother. Also listed is Anne Watherstone (age 67) whom one could likely deduce from the childrens names is the Grandmother. That would make AnneW born about 1774(ish)
I havent found anything further on her at all. I was hoping I might have picked up a death notice/date. (I suspect Watherstone is a soundex challenge)

>Isable's father may be James Dickson Davie born on the 27/2/1811 in Eyemouth, Berwick, his parents were Thomas Gillie and Agnes Purves

This is very useful (if) the original assumption (isobell = isable) can be sustained. What source did you have for the James Dickson Davie parents?

Thank you / BJA

Can't quite get a connection to Thomas Gillie or James Gillie/Mary Bookless but that doesn't mean there isn't.

I have a great great grandmother who emigrated to NZ in 1860. Her name is Isobella Gillie, born 14 April, 1838 (Whitsome & Hilton Parish) Berwickshire. I believe her fathers name to be James (two daughters and one son). Isobella died in Dunedin, NZ 20, Oct 1926).

Any information that may lead me back up the tree is welcomed. I am curious to learn if there may be a family connection to the Thomas Gillie (b 1775) or James Gillie/Mary Bookless mentioned above?

If anyone has any period photo's/images that characterises the parish/district that too would be appreciated. Thank you.

I am 99.9% positive that I have information on this family. John C.(Charles?)Gillie b. 18 Dec 1815 m Catherine ISABELLE McPherson abt 1840 in Guysborough, NS, then they and the children they had to that point left NS and followed the "tribal" migration of James and Ann Catherine (Whitman)McPherson, their children, sons in law (John Ruban and James Thomas Wilson -- brothers)(John C. Gillie) and their children and my great Grandfather Edmund McPherson. They went first to Boston then after the outbreak of the civil war continued on up through Vermont to the St. Lawrence then along what is now called the Heritage Highway on the north bank to Reach Township near York (now called Toronto. Then they purchased Canada Company lots in the Huron Tract (the south eastern shore of Lake Huron and far inland)and homesteaded in the autumn of 1852. In 1882 John and Isabelle and surviving family moved to Kittson County, Minnesota homesteading the Township of Thompson.
After recently having been contacted by some descendants in the US I was looking for information on the previous generation in Guysborough when I found your notice. I would be interested in siblings and descendants and parents of John C.

Just now stumbled upon your query.
I have been following the Gillie ancestry/descendants from Nova Scotia, Canada, and have a "James Lothrop Gillie", born abt. 1850, son of John C. Gillie who moved from Nova Scotia to Hallock, Minn. James then moved to Spokane, WA, and had a son Clarence Elmers Gillie.
Have more on ancestry, but none on descendants.
Are we looking at the same James, etc.?

GILLIE name in Berwickshire County, Scotland

2003-05-14 21:42:59Z

I think I have traced an ancestor back to Berwickshire County, Scotland (which is on the border with England) and I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who is also interested in the GILLIE name from anywhere in that county.

Specifically, I've gone back to the following marriage: George PAE & Isabel GILLIE, married 29 Aug 1789, Coldingham, Berwick, Scotland. I believe they had the following children (probably among others): Robert, dob unknown; Isabel, b.1791; Elizabeth, b.1797; and Margaret, b.1802.

I'm not 100% sure but I think this is the Isobel Gillie (found in the online IGI) : Isobel Gillie, Birth: 20 APR 1770 Eyemouth, Berwick, Scotland, Father: James Gillie, Mother: Mary Bookless

John Gillie or William Gillie or William Gillies
