Hello researchers,
I am looking for some help finding the parents or siblings of Richard Gilpin (1752-1835) of Copney and his wife Mary Bortree (1761-1842) of Cohannan. They were married at St Andrew's parish, Killyman, Tyrone, Ireland on 12 Apr 1781. They emigrated around 1810 and settled in area of Sterling, Wayne County, Pennsylvania, US.
They had the following children who all emigrated as well:
Sarah Gilpin (1784-1865) m. Abraham Heazleton (1768-1857)
Eliza Gilpin (1789-1869) m. Edward Bortree (1790-1860)
Ann Gilpin (1792-1870) m. John Bortree (1788-1867)
William Gilpin (1794-1881) m. Sarah Bortree (1802-1842)
Mary Jane Gilpin (1797-1881) m. Jesse Bowman Ransbury (1795-1860)
Richard Gilpin Jr (1880-1870) m. Eliza Bennett (1808-1886)
John Robert Gilpin (1802-1881) m. Susannah Bortree (1811-1885)
Thomas Gilpin Sr (1806-1844) m. Mary Jane Dobson (1811-1842)
I can provide more information if anyone has questions. Thank for any help you can provide.
Cheers,
Kristen Gilpin (5th Great Granddaughter of Richard Gilpin of Copney)

Hi Kristen
Just in case you missed Ordette Webster’s transcription of Killyman COI records as posted by Robin Cross Cox in 2002:

It appears to indicate that Mary Bortree’s parents are John and Sarah.
Happy Hunting
