Kate's notes:
Pauline Gilliland Babb was listed (along with sister Margaret) among the original charter members of the John James Chapter (Jackson Co.) of the DAR under her maiden name, Pauline Gilliland.
See: http://coyan.net/JohnJamesDARHistory.pdf

Pauline and her siblings were gr-grandchildren of Samuel Gilliland and Elizabeth Ellen Buckley, grandchildren of William Gilliland and Maria Dever, and the children of George Edward Gilliland and Mary Frances Long. Their connection to Capt. John James was via their mother's line, the Longs. This pedigree is outlined in "Ancestors and Descendants of Captain John James and Esther Denison of Preston, Connecticut."

George Edward Gilliland and Mary Frances Long had four children: Pauline, born March 31st, 1895; Margaret E., born March 1 1897; George Edward Jr., born Sept 25, 1899; and Nelle, born Dec 7, 1907.
