In History of Vermilion County- Illinois- Ross Twp, pg 673, about daughters Malitda & Nancy [Gilbert].... "Mrs. Gilbert's ancestors, the Horrs, formed a part of the first hardy bands of pilgrams. Her father, grandfather and great-grandfather, each bore the christian name of Robert, and her father and grandfather were each born in the same town of Plymouth and near Plymouth Rock.".... "In 1812 he moved to Niagara Falls."... Taking in the company with a seamster, they went to work, and with the help of a force of sewing girls, during the winter, furnished the soldiers a complete outfit. At the close of the war [abt 1815?] he came west and settled where Columbus, Ohio, is situated, and bought a tract of land on which the state penitentiary has since been built. In 1827 he sold his home and removed to Illinois, stopping the following winter with Gordon S. Hubbard and open a small store in Danville..." "The next spring Mr. Horr, accompanied by Hubbard, came and looked out of a place on the North Fork of the Vermilion, a little distance west of the present site of Mann's Chapel. He died on the 10th of August, 1834, age fifty three, 10 months."...
