How about all the Gilmore cousins that have connections with Warren Co. KY pooling our information and getting some answers. Since the loss of some e-mails and addresses, and not answering some of the lost information, I am guilty of not doing justice to my Gilmore family. If any of you are on ICQ and want to chat or Qtalk and want to talk, e-mail me and we can set up a time to get some things put together. My ICQ number is 23108854, or barb@aub.com If you don't have Qtalk and want it, I will send it to you. It is a free way to talk on the computer, with voice, just like the telephone, only no long distance charges.. barb

JoAnn, This has got my attention now. I have a Joseph Gilmore who was age 38 and a carpenter in 1860 Moore County, NC census married to Lousia age 36. He stays in Moore County. Do you have anything on him? Or I would love to know more about what you do have on Gilmores of Moore County.

With as much Gilmore activity as there has been lately, maybe someone can help with mine. William T. GIL(L)MORE was born c1846 in TN, according to census records. Married a Francis _______1847, TN. Children were George, 1867, and Eliza, 1868-1964. Eliza born in Pulaski, Giles County, TN. She married William Oakley WOOD, 1864-1947, son of Robert Gordon Wood and Sarah CooleNeed help on this line of Gil(l)more's. Thanks. Ed

Cynthia, I believe we are related on two lines. Kirkland and Gilmore. I am up to my elbows with the holidays at the present.

JoAnn --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear JoAnn, I am anxious to hear more about your Pike Co. AL Gilmores, if you think they might connect to mine. My Kirkland line is on my husband's side and does not connect to my Gilmore's. My husband is a direct descendant of Archibald Kirkland of Fayette Co. AL, c. late 1700's. I have a lot on this line.

Dear Carol, I'm quite sure the family you mentioned is my family. I have lots of additional info; would also like to hear of yours, its source, etc. Will be happy to share. /Gary Gilmore manij@www.rmrc.net

Could your William Gilmore be of any relation to Elizabeth Gilmore, B/KY., married to J.J. [John Joel] FOSTER, B/ca1801, N.C. J.J. and Elizabeth's 1st child was JOEL JACKSON, B/1825, Allen Co.,KY. They were parents to 3 or 4 more children before moving to TN., in and around Lawrence Co., during the 1830s. Sure hope the above is familiar to some one out there in spaceland as I would like very much to find my gg grandparents. Thank you, Melba Mc. M.

Hey Cousins, in the annuity roll of 1878 for the Osage Indians, there is a Mary A. Gilmore, age 23 #2114 (Henry Gilmore signed the rool) and James A. Gilmore age 2 sone #2115. There were Gilmores in later roles too, if anyone is interested, I can try to locate them...There are Gilmores on the Cherokee rolls, but I am not sure if I have the books to track them down.

on the census records for my wilson GILMORE b. 1812 tn it is stated that his parents were both born in ga. probably c. 1792 . have absolutely no family groups for my gilmore line before wilson. do not know the name of his parents or siblings. not even sure if wilson is his first or middle name that he went by. (all of my relatives in mo. NEVER use their given christian names, they go by their middle name, which makes genealogy such a pleasure ! i end up having to tell my father what the name of his relatives really is !) anyone researching GILMORE'S in ga . where i might get a lead on wilson's family? such as what county to start looking in ? thanks, nancy

Catherine - I have a William Gilmore b. abt. 1790 in Ireland, immigrated to New York with his parents, John Gilmore & wife (name unknown). His sister, Margaret (m. Robert Wright) was left in Ireland. Other siblings born in this country are Samuel (Dr.) Gilmore, Smith Gilmore, John Gilmore (farmer) m. Mary Bell, Jane Gilmore m. _ Bishop (lived in Canada), and Nancy Gilmore m. John Wright . Don't know where they went from New York, but some of family ended up in Ohio. Any connection? Carole Colshavsky@bsa-net.com

Carole, Do you know what part of Ohio they went to? Catherine

Hi Carole, Your William Gilmore sounds like a good possible fit. Thanks so much. I will need to do more research to be sure, but it is definitely a lead. Thanks so much. Catherine eberhart22@aol.com
