Forwarded Message: Subj: Re: Re Goreville Date: 97-08-01 03:53:09 EDT From: Conundrum To: MBruce9681 WOW You have been a TREMENDOUS help....Thank You!!!! This gives me a lot of info to follow through on... My gggrandfather is listed here as Addison (full name is Simeon Addison) and shows additional siblings. Dr. Thomas (whom she lists as middle name of Benton) and his wives are listed, and confirmed by my records. It then links the next 2 generations! Back to the "founder" of Goreville, John Gore... and lists other possible sites of residing and a possible birth site for John. Really helpful info! I am a little uncertain of the connection between the John W (married to Helen) listed at the bottom... is she possibly saying that the earlier John and the John W are the same people? She lists Helen's death date as 1853. I received some additonal info recently on a John W Gore (whose mother or daughter was named Sarah) He was supposedly married in 1819 to Eleanor Seely (born in Chester Co, SC 1780-1840) The info on the General Store is interesting... most of my info on this branch of my tree comes from word-of-mouth from my Greatgrandfather's sister. She said that she remembered going to Dr. T B Gore's father's general store many times when she was a small child. She later painted the store from memory (rather crude, but interesting). I have a photo of the painting. Interesting links to this history! I will now have to see if a photo exists somewhere of the original general store. THANKS again for all your help. If I can be of help to you, please let me know. Pam Gore Conundrum@aol.com
