John Gill Pt.3: Death of Elizabeth Gill | Particular Pilgrims
"We learn the most about John and his daughter Elizabeth because when she died at age 12, he preached her funeral sermon. This was printed and he appended a short account of things she told her parents in the days leading up to her death. In the sermon John refers to her as “our dear child”. And at the service he suddenly had to break off his prepared remarks because “my affections will not permit me”. Later, he and his wife collected from memory as best they could what Elizabeth had said and this became “An Account of some Choice Experiences of Elizabeth Gill, who departed this life May 30, 1738.”
