Gilpin-Glover: Big Family & Rough Times
The prompt this week was Big Family. I had a lot to choose from. I considered my maternal grandmother's grandparents--Cyrus Griest (Sr) and his wife Mary Ann Cook. But they had only 8 children.
That stirred a memory: Mary Ann Cook is descended from the Gilpin family.
Here is my post on the Gilipin family

The short story is that Joseph Gilpin and his wife Hannah Glover (of England) had 15 children. I don't know the details of their life but I can tell you with 15 children, in the colonial era, and as immigrants, they likely had a rough go of it. You needn't have much of an imagination to know that.
