Hi to all Gilmore friends, I've been on this list for only about a week, so don't know what has been sent prior. Just read the e-mail about "James Gilmore of Boston, 1718", and it appears that others have traced their Gilmores to Pelham, Hampshire County, MA. This is where we are stuck. My 4th gr. grandfather was Adam Gilmore, born abt. 1763, died March 5, 1836 in Bristol, Addison Co., VT. He was a private in the MA militia during the Revolutionary War. In his pension application, he states that at the time of his enlistment, he lived in Pelham, MA (April, 1780). So far, we have not found out who Adam's parents were, where he was born, or his actual date of birth. Perhaps one of you has also researched this branch of the family and can offer some help on this matter. Would love to hear from you. Thanks very much, Carl Gilmore <cdgilmore@aol.com>
