Gillard, Jeffrey J. 1978, Thick on the Ground: A Story of Van Diemen's Land and of Free Settler George Gillard, his ancestors and descendants 1572-1809-1978 (with brief references to other early Australian Gillard families), Printed [privately] for the Author in Melbourne Victoria, Limited Edition. The genealogical chart above is from Jeffrey Gillard's book. Jeff got it wrong between the fifth and seventh generations. The William (son of Thomas Gillard) he shows having children in fact died when he was 2 years old. There was another William of the same generation, son of Robert Gillard (b. 1687) who was the father of Robert Gillard (b. 1725) who married Barbara Cox and who was the father of another Robert who was the father of Vincent Solomon who was the father of Robert Dyer. I've forgotten exactly how I know this. I would have told by a relative.
