Gilbert Rodman (born 1748)

Gilbert Rodman (July 21, 1748 - August 21, 1830) was a prominent resident of Bucks County, Pennsylvania who served in the American Revolutionary War.

[3] On July 4, 1776, the Middletown, Pennsylvania Meeting of Friends minutes show that members of his church discovered Gilbert Rodman "entered into military Discipline to learn the Art of War."

[9] He made his home at Spruce Hill Farm, the 360-acre Warwick property, until 1808 when he sold it to the Bucks County government as a space to build an almshouse for the poor.

Rodman was the father to 11 children with wife Sarah Gibbs whom he married on June 3, 1784, at Christ Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

In 2005, members of the Bensalem Historical Society recovered and reassembled the broken headstones, preserving the uncovered pieces in concrete.
