I too have Gilberts from Switzerland County, Indiana. Hiram Gilbert married Mary Jane Cole. He is my gggrandfather. William Washington Gilbert, their oldest son, is my materal ggrandfather. He was born in Switzerland County. Hiram was born in Indiana in 1819. He married Mary Jane in 1844 in Dearborn County. On a trip to the area, learned that at one time Dearborn incorporated part of Switzerland County as well as part of Ohio. Have noticed Ezra and Amos in Census, and have wondered if there is a relationship. I assumed at one time that Amos was son of Ezra, but uncertain. Have will of Ezra, will check. Uncertain of Hiram parents, but he cited in 1880 census, parents were born in Vermont. Ezra married a number of times. Only problem is, if he is father, unknown mother, because known wives arrived after birth of both Amos and Hiram. Ezra died in 1867 I believe. Kathleen
