Gilbert McIlveen (original) (raw)

Gilbert McIlveen (17? – 1833) was a Belfast linen draper and founding member of the Society of the United Irishmen, a revolutionary organisation in late 18th century Ireland. He took no part in the rebellion of 1798 and in 1803, in response to rumours of a further republican insurrection, he joined the loyalist yeomanry.
