- 1830 census - Livonia, Livingston Co., NY, Unice Gillet, female 70-79 years. only person in household. Living next to/near: Arthur Price, Matthew Gray, Joseph Heath, Joshua Bosley, Edmund Bosley, Calvin Bicknell, George Wilkins, John Wilkins, Horace Bronson, Lyman Ball, Samuel Bronson, Hosea Ball, among others.
- Most likely the "Mrs.Gillet" mentioned below:
1838Sep25 Newspaper - Sheriff's Sale. By virtue of one Execution issued by the Clerk of the County of the Livingston, and to direct and delivered against the goods and chattels, lands and tenements of Elezer Gillet in my bailiwick, I have seized and taken all the right, title and interest of the said Elezer Gillet, of which he was seized on the 19th day of July, 1834, in and to the following described piece or parcel of land, situate, lying and being in the town of Livonia, county of Livingston, state of New York, and bounded and described as follows, to wit being part of the lot divided and set off to Sarah Bosley: Beginning at a stake on the line between South Town [Livonia] and Geneseo, south of Bosley's mill-dam, thence running east four rods in the bank of the pond or Conesus stream; thence running by the said stream or pond for line or bounds, a northerly course, until you come against the first mentioned stake; thence about twelve rods to said stake or corner, containing nine acres of land be the same more or less. All of which I shall sell at public vendue, at the house kept by Mrs. Gillet in the town of Livonia, on the 8th day of November next, at one o'clock, P. M. Dated Geneseo, Sept, 24, 1838. J.W. WENDELL, Late Sheriff.
(The Livingston Register, Geneseo, NY, September 25, 1838, page 3)
Later addition of the newspaper republished on and after January 2nd 1839 give a different location and date of the of the sale to occur. Instead of Nov 8th 1838 at Mrs. Gillet's kept house in Livonia, it will be February 6th 1839 at C. Watson's house in Geneseo. This leads me to believe that Mrs. Gillet may have passed away some time in Oct 1838 (the last article dated Oct 9th still shows it at Mrs. Gillet's.
- Eunice is not the daughter of Elihu and Lois Palmer, b.1755. This Eunice married Josiah Smith in Windam,CT and is buried in the Old Scotland Cemetery there in 1829. I have not found any source to our Euince being a Palmer (other than she had two grandsons named Palmer... might want to look at the surname Wilkes or Wilkins, or Lyman).
