Visiting county Bob and Peggy Gilchrist visited their ancestral home of MUI Prong last week while visiting in the county. A reception was held for the couple on Tuesday at the Hoke County Library. Gilchrist author visits county Hoke County was fortunate to have a visitor last week who is a descendant of some of the first set tlers in the area as well as the author of a book about his family. Bob Gilchrist and his wife Peggy were in Raeford Monday and Tuesday of last week visiting the site of Bob's ancestors, Mill Prong. Bob's great great great great grandfather, John Gilchrist, built the house about 182 years ago. The Gilchrists, who were the guests of Robert Gatlin, toured Mill Prong and gave a presentation at the Hoke County Public Library Tuesday night. During the presentation, Gilchrist told a bit about his family from his book and showed a video tape of the restoration of the old house of his forefathers. Gilchrist began research on his family in August, 1982, and finish ed the book about the same time one year later, he said. "For years I had wanted a member of our family to write our history," Gilchrist said. After some years of trying to talk other family members into the project, he realized that he was really the best one to do it because of his experience with history, he said. Gilchrist is a history teacher by profession. He began his search with his im mediate family and gradually began to get bits and pieces of in formation from sources outside, he said. He told of gathering informa tion from people he did not even know, but bearing his name, from Alabama and Texas. Many of these sources were discovered at Gilchrist family reu nions in Opp, Alabama, where ?about 100-150 people get together on the fourth Sunday in June every year, he said. According to Gilchrist, as close as he can determine, there well may be over 25,000 living decen dants of John Gilchrist. As a matter of fact, the land that Raeford and Hoke County now occupy could have been once own ed by the Gilchrist family. While John Gilchrist was still alive, he and his son Angus owned about 415,000 acres of land. Bob said.
