Cynthia, I believe we are related on two lines. Kirkland and Gilmore. I am up to my elbows with the holidays at the present. If you will send me your pedigree chart, I may be able to fill in a few blanks and will send you additional data later. Our Gilmores can from N.C. to Wilkes Co, GA. tho Washington Co., to Pike Co., Ala..They trtavelled with the Shepherds..The Kirklands are from Va. Will correspond later. 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.
