Notes for Simon GILLAM
Anna and Simon were both quite active in Middletown Meeting, Anna serving as assistant clerk (1801-1806), Treasurer (1801-1821), Overseer (1806- ), and Elder (1816- ). Anna was reputed to be "a very particular and elegant housekeeper". Simon was b. 24 Jan. 1759; d. 31 Aug. 1839; was fined 9 times for upholding the peace testimony during the Revolution; served as constable in Middletown 1792; witnessed many wills. In 1813 he was recorded as a minister. He was eulogized as being "careful to adorn the doctrine he preached with a meek and quiet spirit." Simon went bankrupt in 1821 because he was surety for others who failed and real estate values collapsed in the depression of that year. The Meeting found he had behaved honorably and within Friends' principles. They removed then to Upper Springfield Meeting. 4 children
