WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have Joseph Gilmore/Gilmer in my computer and have looked at him as a possible brother/father to my ggg-grandmother Sarah Gilmore/Gilmer Inmon of Greene Co. MO. Joseph and Sarah were both married by the same minister. Joseph and Sarah Guiliams/Gilliams were m. Feb 3 1848 in Greene Co. Mo by D. A. Dryden. My Sarah and James Inmon were m. July 4 1847 in Greene Co. MO by D. A. Dryden. Dryden is buried in the same cemetery as my Sarah and James Inmon. Sarah's name on the licence was spelled Gilmer as was Joseph's. I am a decendent of Sarah Gilmore/Gilmer and James Inmon through their son, Joseph.
