"Colla the Noble", 121st Monarch of Ireland

In 323 A.D., Carioll (Colla Uais) became the 121st monarch of all Ireland by slaying his uncle, King Fiacha, in the Battle of Dubhcomar assisted by his brothers. The victory was shortlived: Colla Uais was deposed four years later by his cousin Muireadach Tireach, son of the previous King Fiacha. This was almost disastrous for all three Collas as they were banished to Alba (Scotland) to live at their grandfather's court. Peace was soon made and they returned to rule Oriel. Colla da Crioch's descendants ruled the Kingdom of Airghialla for the next thousand years.

GILLHAM, William - born 1750 in Virginia; died 27 Oct 1825; buried East Newbern Cemetery, Jersey County, Illinois; was married to Jane McDAW; resided in Madison County, Illinois with his brothers before removing to Jersey County. His brothers were Revolutionary War soldiers, and bronze tablets are erected at the Madison County Courthouse in Alton, in their honor. His brothers are listed as Isaac, James, John and Thomas. William served as a Private and Sergeant from South Carolina and before and after the fall of Charleston, in Brandon's Regiment. Was the son of Thomas Gillham who was also a Revolutionary Soldier. His grave is marked by the DAR. A William Gillham is listed as an early land patentee in Mississippi Township, Sec. 24, having purchased the land 10 Apr 1824 (Patent#546). There are several Gillham patentees listed, some of William's son, in Mississippi Township as well as McDOW & LOFTON listings.

Revolutionary War Audited Account Folder #2853: submitted by Ray Hart,rhart@brtc.net. WILLIAM GILLHAM died at the home of his son, John Davidson Gillham, October 27,1825. William Gillham was the father of John D. and Ezekiel Gillham, and the father-in-law of John G. LOFTON and John McDOW. He and his father, Thomas Gillham, six brothers, and two brothers-in-law, were Revolutionary War soldiers. After the close of the war, in 1812, William and four of his brothers located in Madison County, Illinois, where four of them remained, but William and his family located in Lofton's Prairie in 1816, and he died at the residence of his son, John D., in 1825. (Some of the Gillhams came to Madison County, before 1812.) His father, Thomas Gillham, came from Ireland and settled in Virginia in 1730, later moving to South Carolina, where he reared his family and he and all the male portion of his family enlisted in behalf of the colonies, and through William and his family, their direct knowledge, experiences and family history may be traced back of the establishment of the government of the United States. Thomas Gillham was married and had one son when he arrived in Augusta County, Virginia, from Ireland. This would have made him quite old for military service at the time of the Revolutionary War, but he undoubtedly did serve in the war. He died in York County, South Carolina, and is buried there. William, John D. and other Gillhams are buried at the East Newbern Cemetery, which is also near Dow, Illinois. The church there is a Methodist Church. The DAR has placed a plaque on the tombstone of William Gillham.
