Hi Elna, I'd love to hear more about your Gilmore relatives, could we possibly exchange information? I've been trying to find information on my ggg-grandfather, Addison Gilmore, born in Kentucky 1834 (county unknown) and he shows up in Howard County, MO in the 1870 census. By then he is married and has 8 of his 17 Children, all of them born in MO. I've been unable to trace him back to Kentucky and am unsure of the relationship between him and other MO Gilmores. Maybe we can help each other. Thanks Linda Malloy lmalloy@primary.net Chris & Elna Cox wrote: > My first and last Mo Gilmore is Samuel Wilson Gilmore.
