The telephone and telegraph industries owe much to Robert Carson Gilliland and his sons, James F. and Ezra T., who are among the most prolific inventors ever to have lived in Lenawee County.
Between 1868 and 1908, the U. S. Patent & Trademark Office issued over 100 patents for their innovative creations.
Robert Gilliland was born in New York in 1822 and brought his family to Hudson in the fall of 1863. Little is known of his life before coming to Michigan. However, once he was here, he wasted no time in establishing himself as a practical man.
Gilliland established a small manufacturing business the Gilliland Electric Company in Hudson in 1871. For the next nine years he manufactured telegraph insulators, pins and brackets, selling 100% of his products to Western Union Telegraph Company.
