I too am interested in the Gilmore lines. I have Martha Jane Gilmore b. ca. 1826, Al who married into my Thomas lines in Perote, Pike, Al. She married John F. Thomas b. ca. 1820, SC. I have no other information on her so if any of you researching the Gilmores know something of her I would be grateful for any help.
