It is believed but not proven that William GILTRAPS parents at Elverstown were Richard GILTRAP of and Margaret WRIGHT a quaker from Ballitore. Family folklore states that Elverstown was burned down in 1798 and rebuilt. There was a protestant church built near by at Tipper Kevin (Tipperkevin was once a distinct parish in County Dublin) in 1830 of which only the gate piers remain. There was a pilgrim road from Tipper Kevin to Hollywood and on further to Glendalough. The GILTRAP families must have been parishioners of Hollywood Protestant Parish from the time they first arrived in the area, and were buried in due course in the churchyard of St. Kevin’s Church.

St. Kevins Church was built in 17th Century is stone roofed and slated.

William GILTRAP had three sons and eight daughters He died in 1828 leaving Elverstown first to his wife and then entailed to his son Richard.

Richard married Charlotte PIERSON in 18??. Not long after the birth of their son William Charlotte died.  Then in 18?? Richard married Sarah GRAHAM the daughter of George GRAHAM postmaster in Castledermot. Sarah took little William under her wing and in due course brought Richards family up to a grand total of eleven, five girls and six boys. One girl never married, of the others one had no children Ann who married Robert SMITH Liffey View had one daughter Polly.

Polly married the Rev. MULLEN of Bunbeg Co. Donegal. They had one girl and two boys, one of whom may have been a doctor in the Royal Navy in the second world war.

ELVERSTOWN

Elverstown seems to have been tenanted by the GILTRAP family probably since or before 1750. The earliest GILTRAPS of which there is definite records were Henry and Anne GILSTROP of St. Catherines parish Dublin (1688) who baptized their son George in 1688. They came it was believed and indeed very likely from Scotland. They soon seem to have concentreated on the Wicklow area of Hollywood and Blessington, with at least one family establishing themselves in the village of Rathvilly.

Before 1800 there were at least four families well established in the area, one at Elverstown, one at Humphreystown (now almost surrounded by the artificial lake of Poulaphouca a third at Mullicagh (halfway between Hollywood and Annalecky and the fourth at Paulville Rathvilly near the estate of Geffrey DE PAUL M.P.

The GILTRAPS of Mullicagh seem to have been estate agents for the Marquis of Waterford as well as farm tenants from earliest times. The original GILTRAP house at Mullicagh was demolished about 20 years ago and a new bungalow built where a Mr. FOSTER lives a Dunlairn merchant.

Typical of what happened regularly in the early 1800’s a GILTRAP lady from Humphreystown married her cousin from Mullicagh – Robert GILTRAP married Mary Ann of Humphreystown. Before the last child of that marriage was born Robert and Mary Ann had moved into a Marquis of Waterford house at Rathatton. Greta the youngest child was born at Rathatton where she died 95 years later. Her mother lived to be 100.

William GILTRAP married Mu Anne BOOTHMAN of Blessington about 1788 and was resident in Elverstown, Anne BOOTHMAN was of the same family as the present Jack BOOTHMAN an president of G.A.A.
