The Political Graveyard: Gilman family</a> of Exeter, New Hampshire
- ️Lawrence Kestenbaum
Note: This is just one of 1,325 family groupings listed on The Political Graveyard web site. These families each have three or more politician members, all linked together by blood, marriage or adoption.
This specific family group is a subset of the much larger Four Thousand Related Politicians group. An individual may be listed with more than one subset.
These groupings — even the names of the groupings, and the areas of main activity — are the result of a computer algorithm working with the data I have, not the choices of any historian or genealogist.
