Misc. Notes
Joseph Gilpin, of Dorchester, in the county of Oxford, weaver, son of Thomas Gilpin, of Warborough, in the same county, tallow-chandler, and Joan, his wife, was married, 12, 20, 1691, to Hannah, daughter of— and Alice Glover, of the county of Southampton.
They came to Pennsylvania in 1695, and settled on a tract of land in Birmingham township, in Chester (now Delaware) County, which had been given to his wife by an uncle as a marriage present.
Their first dwelling was a cave on the side of a hill, such as was frequently used by the early settlers until better structures could be provided. Its exact site can yet be pointed out on the farm late the property of John D. Gilpin, about one mile south of Dilworthstown.
Some years thereafter he erected a frame dwelling-house on the site of the present residence of Elias Baker, a short distance west of the cave-dwelling, to which he removed, and where he resided during the remainder of his life. He died in the year 1739, at the age of seventy-five years, leaving to survive him fifteen children and forty-five grandchildren.1700
