Hello Cousins, there are so many Gilmores in MO that still haven't connected, I thought it might help to show when and where your Gilmores arrived in MO. Please send your answers to the list, my computer is going back into the shop for repairs. I can see the answers when my hardware conflict for my modem gets taken care of. I'll start off with my Samuel Wilson Gilmore and Rosana Adair Gilmore, from Warren Co KY in 1857 to unknown county in MO. Samuel ended up in Bates Co.MO with his son Dr Elisha Eugene Gilmore after the Civil War. Hope this helps to put the pieces together, then we can see the whole picture. barb
