The Autobiography of Charles F. Gill

This is the autobiography of Charles Franklin Gill Jr. beginning in 1835 when the Gills and Haynes arrived in Richwood Ohio and played a major role in the establishment and administration of the community. It continues with the arrival of the Foxes and LeMasters from West Virginia and the union of those two families. My story tells of my birth childhood moving to Reno Nevada college Vietnam and later my life in Saratoga California as a businessman. I have included an extensive appendix containing articles in the Union County History archives and family trees of the Gills Haynes Foxes and LeMasters families. Part I is largely historical. I have attempted to make it readable with lots of photos. Part II is my story and I will let it speak for itself. These anecdotes and stories are derived from the sources stated in the appendixes as well as my own life experiences.
