Thomas Walker Gilmer (April 6, 1802 – February 28, 1844) was an American statesman. ==Personal life== Gilmer was born to George and Eliza Gilmer at their farm, "Gilmerton", in Albemarle County, Virginia. He was taught by private tutors in Charlottesville and Staunton, and studied law in Liberty (now Bedford), Virginia.〔Jamerson, p. 61〕〔Lewis, p. 686〕 Gilmer practiced law in Charlottesville. He was, briefly, editor of the ''Virginia Advocate'', a Charlottesville newspaper.〔〔 On May 23, 1826, Gilmer married Anne Elizabeth Baker of Shepherdstown, now in West Virginia. Her late father, John Baker, had been a member of the United States House of Representatives.〔 They had a son, George Hudson Gilmer, a Presbyterian minister. In 1829, Gilmer purchased Israel Jefferson, a former slave of Thomas Jefferson, who is best known for claiming that Sally Hemings was Thomas Jefferson's concubine. Gilmer later agreed to let Israel pay his own purchase price for his freedom after Gilmer's election to congress, as Israel desired to stay with his wife, a free woman.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/jefferson/cron/1873israel.html )〕
