Kate’s notes:  Zeno G. Gilliland was born at Greene County, Indiana to James Harvey and Rachel (Lamb) Gilliland. In 1882 he married Ida May Robbins at Wilson County, Kansas. The couple moved to Washington where they again moved several times between Everett and Tualco. I have provided two transcripts here regarding their relocations within Washington.
   Descendants of this family have provided a wealth of information, including family histories, photographs and an obituary for Zeno, to records that can be found at www.ancestry.com.

Friday Harbor, Washington

   Z. G. Gilliland, formerly of this place but for several years a resident of Everett,  has purchased a 27 acre farm in the Tualco valley, near Snohomish, together with considerable livestock, grain, produce and farm implements. It is said to be “one of the finest ranches in the valley, well stocked and highly improved.” The price paid was $2,800.
