  • Notes 
    • Catherine McDole was the only daughter of Alexander McDole, a Damask manufacturer. She married Robert Gillis. They had three sons and one daughter. The birth order of the children is unknown at this time although John William was born in 1804 and Rebecca's son John was born in 1818 so it is
      likely that Rebecca was older than John William . [5]
