Isaac Gilbert was born in 1802 at
Maryland. He married
Keziah Fisher. Isaac Gilbert died on 15 March 1872; Montgomery Co, Oh Superior Court Case #7901 (Archives microfilm roll # 299):
"William Gilbert, George M. Gilbert, Lewis Gilbert, Charles H. Gilbert, James Gilbert, Mary M. Baile and Emily Brown aver that they are the children and legal heirs of Isaac Gilbert deceased, that the said Isaac Gilbert died 15 day of March AD 1872 died intestate"; that "by reason of affliction, old age, _____, and illness, the said Isaac Gilbert became weak, and imbecile and was incapable of understanding the extent and value of his property that he did not properly understand the relation which he bore to his wife and his sons and daughters"; that he was "under the control and influence of Mary Gilbert"; "by reason of mental imbecility and undue influence, he was incapable of making a will." Their attorney was George Moyer. The petition was verified by George M. Gilbert. George signed an affidavit which stated that Isaac Gilbert intended to leave his property to his widow for her lifetime and then to his children, but that Mary Gilbert would not have it, and insisted on all the property outright. A jury trial resulted in a verdict that the will was valid. On 11 Nov 1879, the court denied a new trial and ordered that the will was indeed the will of Isaac Gilbert. Insofar as Mary Baile was a party to this lawsuit, she must have still been alive as of 24 July 1876; this seems to conflict with the information in the estate of her brother, John R. Gilbert.
Mary LUDY was 2nd wife of Isaac.
