(Daughter) Relocation1785When she was about 5 years of age, Rachel moved west with her parents and siblings to Pennsylvania where two of the Heaton brothers, John and Henry, had already settled, establishing their new home in that part of Washington County, Pennsylvania, which would become Greene County in 1796.8

Name-SpellingsA variation of the spelling of the COLVER surname found in our research was CULVER.4 
Census US 1810*1810Rachel (Heaton) Colver was likely enumerated on the 1810 census in the household of her husband Thomas Colver in Morgan, Greene County, Pennsylvania. Their household consisted of one male ages 26 thru 44, one female ages 26 thru 44, one male under age 10 and one female under age 10.10

(Sister) Relocation1817Rebecca, with her stepfather and mother, Alexander and Barbara (Kinder) Heaton Laughlin, were almost certainly members of the large company of families led by her grandfather, Valentine Kinder, from Washington County, Pennsylvania to Madison County, Illinois, in 1817. The group would have included the Heaton boys, John and Valentine, their sisters, Betsey, Rebecca and Barbara, and half-sister, Mary Laughlin. The party traveled by flat boat down the Ohio from Wheeling, Virginia (now West Virginia) to Shawneetown, Illinois. From there, their stock was driven across the country via the New Design Settlement, and they traveled from Shawneetown by keel boat to St. Louis, and then along the Six Mile route to their chosen home called originally, Six Mile Prairie, and later, Nameoki.10,11

On 13 February 1846 Rebecca Gillham, daughter of the deceased, provided a written statement to the probate court stating that she was one of the several heirs of Barbara Laughlin and that, to her knowledge, the several heirs of said deceased received of the administrators of her estate the sum of $105.50 each, by themselves or through their guardians.14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21 
(Wife) Death7 March 1845She became a widow when Isaac Gillham Jr. died on or about 7 March 1845 at about age 62.22

At the time of his death, Isaac had been administrating the estate of John Heaton, and Rebecca Gillham and Calvin Kinder took over as administrators to complete the probate of John Heaton's estate also.23

  1. [S1685] Heaton Family Genealogy by J. W. Heaton of New Burnside, Illinois, online at www.ancestry.com. Note: It is wonderful to have found this online posting and we are very grateful to other researchers who share their treasures. We have happily included the document's information and are hoping that, during our verification process, we will be able to confirm its validity. The online posting was a copy of a typed (typewriter) document which was not dated and is reported to be page one of a longer document. It appears to this researcher that the main author, J. W. Heaton, who stated he was born on June 19, 1832 in Henry County, Kentucky, one mile east of the village of Franklinton, wrote, possibly by hand, the information he titled "Family Genealogy" and which begins about one-third down from the top of page one -- and that someone else typed or retyped the information at a later date and added two additional paragraphs above the original author's work to include what was believed to be information about the original author's grandfather and great grandfather.
