Nancy, I may have sent you info on some of your Wilson Gilmore family even though I am not a "cousin". I found a newspaper article at the Greene Co. Library that said that James Cannon Gilmore, son of Wilson and Martha Gilmore of Polk Co. Mo drowned Sept 20, 1858. I also have a marriage date of 1833 in Grainger Co. Tenn for Wilson and Martha. Don't know where I got the marriage date. There was another James Cannon Gilmore in Greene Co. Mo at the same time. He was the son of James and Barsheba Ferguson Gilmore, also from Grainger Co. TN. I've never seen where the name "Cannon" came from for the two James's to have it as a middle name. I know, I know. Try to find my notes! <G> Shirley Moore smoore03@mail.orion.org
