TRACING OUR ROOTS

THE DESCENDANTS OF MINOR GILCREASE (KILCREASE)

The Will of Minor Gilcrease, dated 1832 from Lowndes Co., AL, records shows Priscilla Amelia, the daughter of Minor, married to John Gilcrease. The Will of William Jeter, dated 25 Nov. 1793, Edgefield Co., SC, records shows Peggy, the daughter of William, married to Minor Kilcrease.
Are Minor Kilcrease and Minor Gilcrease the same person?
Unless there is evidence to the contrary, on this website, we are operating under the premise that they are.

The family surname has stayed the same for some branches and changed for other branches, so you will find related family members with the surnames Kilcrease, Gilcrease, Gilchrist, and Gilchrest, along with the many allied family surnames.
