Ted, I can't thank you enough! maybe with this information (especially the different spelling of Gilmore) I might find an Addison Young Gilmore or Walter Mudd Gilmore. One more question. Are you a member of Ancestry.com? Is it worth joining? It seems that most information is from there but I'm never sure if people travel to the library are if they are really able to find this on the net as a registered member. What do you think?
