1908. Charles D. Gilbert was b.Abt.1828 in Belmont Co., Ohio. He lived in 
Clay Co., IN when he joined Co. "K" 2nd Ind. Regt. and served as a Private
during the Mexican War. He was wounded in the left thigh at Buena Vista,
Mexico on 23 September 1847. He returned to Clay Co. and lived there until 
1854 when he began a series of moves between Iowa, Missouri, and Kansas. 
He married Pheriba Collier (b.5 March 1837 in Martinsville, Ind.) on 28 January, 
1855 in Clarke Co., Iowa. Pheriba was the daughter of Richard and Mary (Bales) 
Collier. They had 10 children : Thomas J., Richard M., Charles M., William, John, 
Mary A., Albert R., May. Norah B., and Laura P. Gilbert all born between 1858

and is buried in the Toronto Cemetery there. In an affidavit to the pension record
application that Pheriba made on 14 December, 1887, she states that she had 
moved to Clay Co., IN with her younger children and was being supported by a 
W. F. Gilbert of Art, Clay Co., IN, who was not legally required to do so. This is 
the last record that I have of Pheriba. Charles D. Gilbert also served as a
