The Canadian and American roots of the Gillcash family start with Augustus C. Kilcash, a loyalist soldier who settled in Prince Edward Island.

This page is dedicated to the Gillcash family, and to learning more about "Kilcash" origins in Canada, the US, and Ireland.

On July 7, 2001, the Gillcash family held a reunion at the home of Doreen and Fenwick Burnham in Upper Coverdale, New Brunswick.
While only my first, I learned the Gillcashes of Canada had been having reunions for many years! The potluck, games, and auction (proceeds donated to the Heart and Stroke Foundation)were great fun. Thanks to all who contributed their time in making the event a success.

As you know, Wayne Gillcash is the true genealogist in the Gillcash clan. I will be working with him in figuring out what we should post on this site. If you have any suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact me at
