• Notes

  John Gillis, the son of  Robert Gillis  and  Catherine McDole Gillis, was born in Glasslough, Ireland. He died about 1815. Reported by John's nephew (son of Andrew Gillis), Robert H. Gillis, in 1910 to B.C. Gillis, John was a great sport, ball player, etc., and left home to join Wellington's Army.  He marched with the Army and would have been in the Battle of Waterloo the next day had not Napoleon been defeated on June 18, 1815.  His group was disbanded and he was sent home, but he fell ill and died just 20 miles from his father's home. (This is presumed to mean he died in 1815; ed.). [2]
