• Notes

  "The year 1790 found the infant America on its feet, Gilbert II and Gilbert III settled on "Hartfell," and Gilbert IV celebrating his ninth birthday. A home rose at "Potato Bed Ferry," looking over the Black into Williamsburg, ;and became the hub of a twenty-odd thousand acre plantation." Source information: Johnson, James D.
