Hey I found this while looking
for Brighton Parish....

In this township is situated
the lofty eminence called Grasmoor, on which fell such a waterspout on the 9th
of September, 1760, about midnight, as swept the whole side of the mountain, and
charging itself with the rubbish it found there, made its way to the valley
below, tearing up trees, soil, and gravel in its course, to a plot of ground,
which it covered with so vast a bed of stones, that no human being can ever
again restore the soil.' *
* Mr. Gilpin.

I was searching
through some old papers at Carlisle Library
the other day (UK), when I came across this interesting booklet:- "The
gilpin Family from Richard De Guylpin in 1206, In A Line To Joseph Gilpin,The
Emigrant To America, With A Notice Of The West family, Who Likewise
Emigrated."
The author is J.Painter. Printed in 1870. Is this booklet Known to the
"American" gilpins or have I found something of interest?.
(Note, I have a
copy ..nlp)

Delaware Paper
Manufactory
Wilmington: Printed by Jacob A. Killen, [1787?]. Broadside.
Joshua Gilpin, the son of Thomas Gilpin, a wealthy Quaker merchant in
Philadelphia, established the first paper mill in Delaware in 1787. A converted
snuff mill, it was located on the Brandywine Creek a few miles north of
Wilmington. The first public notice of the mill was an appeal for rags by Joshua
Gilpin & Company which appeared in the Delaware Courant on May 12, 1787. The
first paper was manufactured in June 1787. It is uncertain whether the broadside
described above was printed before or after the advertisement in the Delaware
Courant, but it certainly appeared before June 1787.
The broadside is unrecorded in all bibliographies of eighteenth-century American
printing, and this appears to be the only known copy.
