9.

Rachell Aydelott (daughter of Benjamin Aydelott and Sarah Fooks) was born in 1710 in Somerset, Maryland, USA. Notes for Peter Gilstrap Sr.: The old English surname "Gilstrap" probably originated in Nottinghamshire, England, sometime in the late 14th century. Research done in England the 1960s indicates that it is a place name and was originally "Gelsthorp" or Village (Thorp) of Gels (Gold) which became Gilstrap through metathesis. The earliest record of the name "Gelsthorp" and its many variants (Gelstrap, Gilsthrop, Gelstrop, Gilstrap, Gilstrapp, and others) are in the Paris Record catalogued by the Church of Latter Day Saints in England. The earliest mention found to date is that of an Avice Gelsthorp who married Richard Roger 6 Feb 1584 in Whatton Notts. The earliest mention of the name "Gilstrap" (spelled as it is today) is the marriage of Jane Gilstrap to Alexander Kent, 8 Dec 1747, at Westminster, St. Georges, Mayfair, London. An explanation of the migration of the name to the new world is, at best, still confused and subject to conjecture and further research. Family tales (and these vary depending on the family group) indicate that three or four brothers emigrated to colonial North Carolina from England (or Scotland) and settled in the New Bern (Craven and Jones Counties). Recent research by Nancy Gilstrap Mann has revealed that there were two Gilstraps, James and Peter, in Somerset County, MD, in the mid-16th century. It appears that James died without issue and that Peter Sr. married Rachel Aydelotte (Idolet) and that they were the parents of Peter, James, Idolet and John. Peter Gilstrap, Sr., b 1705 in England (date estimate from his 1726 indenture, he'd have been 16-30 most likely).

Peter Sr. signed an indenture with John Taylor in London in 1726. The original record and whatever details it had (age, hometown, etc.) are gone. The note says Peter was bound for Jamaica, but John Taylor also had dealings in Maryland, and the researchers of indentures say that many noted for Jamaica went to MD and vice versa. It would seem Peter went straight to Maryland because there wouldn't have been time for him to serve his indenture, save for and purchase travel to Maryland, AND be married by 1731].
