Remarks by Rev. Glen W. Bocox of FirstUnited Methodist Church of Moline, Headstone by Moline Monumentcompany. Excerpts from the narratives; Page 4-5, THE GILES LINE:
Excerpts: Page 4: "It's difficult to trace the line of Jane Giles'father, William. There are many, many William Giles' listed in therecords of Amherst Co., VA, and also in Randolph Co., NC, but thereare no ages listed. There is a case, though, for the supposition thatWilliam was either the son or grandson of Crispin Dunbar Giles, whowas born in England in 1715 and came to Randolph Co., NC, in 1739. Heraised at least eight children with his wife Margaret Murray Giles.After her death, he married again (at age 104) and had two morechildren. William and Polly's son, William F., had a son namedCrispin Dunbar Giles, who served in the Civil War, then stayed in theregular army and was later killed by an Indian.
At any rate, William married Polly Bowman on 10 Mar 1808 in AmherstCo., VA. This may have been his second marriage, as one other Gilesresearcher thinks William fathered Eli Giles by his first wife.William and Polly then trekked over to Randolph Co., NC., where JohnGiles was born 29 Apr 1808.
They all moved to Lawrence County, Indiana, in 1828 and settled in ornear Mitchell, IN. Polly's father, William Bowman, had been settlednear Pekin, Washington Co., IN. (the next county) since between 1814and 1818. In the meantime, either the Griffins followed the Gilesfrom NC., or they all came together, because Jane married the oldestof three Griffin brothers, John Finley Griffin, in Pekin on 24 July1828. Her sister Polly married William Porter there on 4 June 1829.
Jane and Finley's (as he was called) first three children were born inIN., then in 1833 they journeyed with the Porters and John's youngerbrother George to the Moline/Rock Island area. This was formerSauk-Fox land that had been opened by the government after the BlackHawk War."
Page 5, excerpts: "In 1843, another wave of IN relatives arrived inIL. Finley's brother Robert came with his family, William F. Gilesand his family, and perhaps Polly Giles and daughter Nancy ( etc...).There is a Marion (?) age 60, b. NC, and Nancy age 30 in the Pettiferhouse in the 1850 census. In 1860, Nancy is at the William Gileshouse. Finley was dead by the time this last census was taken, but inhis will, there is a receipt noting, "John F. Griffin to WilliamGiles, Jr. for keeping Nancy Giles per agreement from June 1st 1857 toDecember 1st 1859 amounting to ninety dollars". The originalagreement was for three dollars a month from June 1st 1857 toSeptember 1st 1860, amounting to one hundred five dollars. Nancy musthave had some disability (or else this is how they managed the supportof unmarried women) and they shared in her care. Nancy died in 1885at the Rock Island County Ams House."
