The name Gilbert is of Irish origin, already stated, and James Gilbert, the grandfather of our subject, maintained his residence on North Hero island, in Lake Champlain, N. Y. He married Ruth Conkey, who wise was of Irish extraction, and subsequen during the war of 1812, removed to Shazeetown, located on the shores of the same beautiful lake, and there James Gilbert remained until the time of his death. He was a Jacksonian democrat, and both he and his wife were zealous members of the Methodist church.

It is unclear whether the author believed North Hero island to be a part of Vermont (as it is now considered) or a part of New York.
