My first and last Mo Gilmore is Samuel Wilson Gilmore. He came to Mo with his 8 children and the oldest one - Washington Richmond Gilmore, my gggrandfather returned to KY. Family lore has it that Washington Richmond was scared and that's why he returned. He died soon after returning to Ky, just 3 months before my ggrandmother, Lucinda, was born. We believe Samuel's wife, Rozina, came to Mo with him although she is not on the 1870 census and by the 1880 census Samuel has a new wife. I found where Samuel is buried in Bates Co. Mo, but neither wife is next to him. His son Elisha is on one side and Elisha Adair is on the other side. I believe Elisha Adair is Rozina's brother. Elna Cox coxfam5@swbell.net
