for William Pitt Gilbert
William Pitt Gilbert
1787 - 1861
William P. Gilbert never married, and, possibly as a result of his deafness, he never took apprentices. From 1810-1816, he owned a piece of property in the center of Hebron that had formerly been owned by Stephen Hempstead of New London, possibly a relative of the cabinetmaker Benjamin Hempstead. From 1816 on, William P. Gilbert, his father, and some of his other siblings all lived in the same home. Both the 1820 and the 1840 census list list one adult male working in agriculture and one working in manufacturing. William P. Gilbert died on 8 November 1861 at the age of 74.
