Notes |
- one of the first Methodist preachers in the County
Was in the War of 1812.
1813 James "was sent out on several scouting expeditions".
1818-1819 Became a Methodist minister.
okt 1823 James was appointed to Fairfield Circuit by the Ohio Conference. The expected to live in Lancaster but ended up living in Rushville.
1823-1824 psessed a quarter section of land that later became the site of Maumee City.
aft okt 1823 Bridal trip to Rushville by James Gilruth and Mary Westlake: French Grant to Jackosn, then Chillicothe, then Kingston, then Circleville, then Lancaster, then Rushville.
mrt James went to French Grant to witness the death of his father. Thomas seemed to regognize James, and after having seen him as he had wished, he passed away several days later.
sep 1828 James Gilruth and Mary Westlake visited "Mother Gilruth". They also visited Mary Westlake's mother, and brought her home with her.
was obsessed with idea of a christian socialist community". He was also outspoken about antislavery sentiments, and opposed rented pews.
"In the winter of 1818-19, a great revival swept through southern Ohio; and in February of the latter year, our subject was, as he himself had said many a time, 'powerfully converted' at a Methodist meeting. By the latter part of March, he had so favorably impressed his presiding Elder that he was licensed to preach; and on the 7th day of August, following, when the conferenct met, he was ordained as a regular minister. He continued in the regular ministry in the Ohio Conference for thirty-two years. He made his first visit to Iowa in 1844; and in that year, or the year following, entered a quarter section of land two miles north of the city of Davenport. He returned to Ohio and remained until the spring of 1851 when he removed with his family to Davenport, Iowa. He became a member of the Iowa Conference, a relation he sustained until the day of his death. He officiated as pastor in charge, or on circuit, whenever appointed, until the year 1863, when he was placed upon the superannuated list. Gilruth Chapel near his home was named for him. In 1853, he moved his family onto a farm near Davenport, where he resided until his death."
"He had made money, became quite rich, indeed, but he never lost the respect and confidence of the neighbors nor of those who had business transactions with him, be the means of acquiring it. he sustaind his Christian integrity in business as well as in the pulpit. He possessed bright intellect, had vivid imagination, and a love for the beautiful in nature and literature. His memory was very retentive, his command of language good. He was a mighty man physically, and in his prime, his weight was nearly 300 pounds."
From "The Past Is Prologue", Mary Westlake states: "I remember that the first year of our marriage, having no children, we saved $100. out of the $200. due us and with it, Husband purchased the quarter section of land, in what afterwards became the site of Maumee City. That was in 1823-24. He bought it of the Government and, about 1836, sold it to a company of speculators for $100. per acre. This company failed and he lost a large part of his money. $10,000 of what he really got, he afterwards loaned, without interest, and lost both interest and principal. This last happened while we lived in Berea."
