Kate’s Notes: Steele M. Gillilan (1896-1951) was a son of Nathan Moffett Gillilan and Mary Hamilton McClintic. His pedigree was as follows: Steele>Nathan Moffett>Michael Bright>Nathan> James Gillilan Sr>Nathan Gilliland> Samuel> John.
   In some records Steele’s name is recorded as Michael Steele Gillilan but his tombstone is engraved Steele M. Gillilan.
   The Gillilan’s son-in-law, mentioned briefly in the article, was Robert Fudge DuLaney. In this article his surname is spelled Delaney but in a 1950 article on the marriage of Natalie Gillilan and Robert, his name was given as DuLaney.
