Biography
Gilbert Deaver is presumed to be the son of Richard Deaver and his wife Grace due to the similarity of the surname and living in the same area. No birth record or immigration record for him has been found.
Gilbert is mentioned by name in the will of Elizabeth Peacock signed on 24 JUL 1700 as follows: I do ordain and appoint my well beloved son-in-law Gilbert Deaver my sole executor of this my last will and testament." Gilbert must have been married to Elizabeth Peacock's daughter as she names the following children to share in her estate: "my five children that is to say Elizabeth Deaver, George Freeman, Thomas Freeman, Ann Freeman and Francis Peacock."[1]

Gilbert Dever was listed as 44 in 1711
We have found no proof that Gilbert is the son of Richard and Grace except the names of his children. The two children by Elizabeth were named Richard and Grace.
His son Gilbert named a son, Gilbert, as did every Gilbert in the records through the 1800s.

Dever-87 and Dever-50 appear to represent the same person because: There was an earlier Gilbert Dever, son made and it needs to have the father and not the mother listed as well as the Gilbert son's named Gilbert who need to be merged. thank you
