Notes:

The Gilliland's were early settlers in Cocke County in the mountains of Eastern Tennessee before 1800 and Samuel Gilliland, probably John's older brother, received a "2/3 league, 1 labor" land grant (between 2000 and 3000 acres) in San Augustine in 1834 before Texas was a Republic. The Gilliland's lived in Zavala, in Angelina County, as did the Windham's. John's father, Eli, was one of the "Old Three Hundred" who were awarded Land Grant No. 566 as a "colonist and soldier". Rebecca and John moved to Tarrant County, Texas, where their third child was born in 1853.  Rebecca is buried at Tecumseh Cemetery, CallTX. John T. is buried at the Granbury Cemetery, Hood County, TX. US 1880 Census, Callahan County, TX:   Name Rel Mar.
