Virginia Gilman

Virginia Martin Gilman (b. 1802, d. 1842) was mother of Lionel Gilman and Tobias Gilman, and wife of Dr. Calvin Bernard Gilman. They lived in New Haven, CT.

Virginia lost her daughter as an infant in 1830. The name of the child was not made public, and the body was interred in the Gilman mausoleum without a name, with a marker designed with lilac etching.

Mrs. Gilman would succumb to complications of influenza at the age of 40. Dr. Gilman would marry the daughter of a family friend, housekeeper Dorothy Meyer, age 25.
