Gilbert, Thomas 1714-1796

Royalist; born in 1714; took part in the capture of Louisburg in 1745, and also in the attack on Crown Point in 1755. He raised a company of 300 royalists at the request of General Gage, but was obliged to leave the country, as the legislature of Massachusetts had declared him “a public enemy.” He died in New Brunswick in 1796.
