Hi yall, it's me, Linda Killgore Bond in Biloxi. You know, the little short one. I haven't had but maybe 4 replys to my postings since June, but that does not mean I am going to quit the list. I have a file I keep the Killgore postings in so maybe when I do find my people, it will all connect. Yall are like an extended family I haven't met yet. I don't post because I have nothing to offer, YET, but when I do I will send it yall's way. Thanks for all the info I have gathered from yall, I know someday it will come in handy. I am going to choose to have a good day and I hope the rest of you do the same.

Joyce, I am looking for the three Kilgores listed above. It is the only three I have in my family, because Mahalia Kilgore (married name) married my ggrandfather Wayne Smith and brought her two sons, James & Levi, into the union. I haven't been able to find anything on them except they came from AL to KY.

Thanks Randy for being such a good spokesperson for our Kilgore family. I think Jim's problem is that he wasn't with us long enough to feel a part of a big family. There are so many good people on this board and we certainly appreciate you, as well as all the time and information that Gail and Jerry have given us. Jerry got me started on my Kilgore family and Gale contributed so much history and information when I first came on board and you have brought humor as well as being the person we all look up to for guidance when needed. Donna has given so much of herself to this group and we all love her too. I look forward to seeing and reading posts from all the other Kilgore cousins also. Nell

I am new to this and so maybe I need a little help understanding exactly who everyone is looking for. Is there a way to search through by the name of the author that way I can try to help some of these people? I do not have a problem receiving all the emails daily because just maybe I might be able to help. If I can't, I just delete it. That is not that hard to do. I have a 13 month old son and I juggle him, housework, emails, and my Mary Kay business. If you do not want to reply to the welcomes and daily life messages, then just don't.

Betty and I do not post a lot of data, however, we enjoy and read every e-mail hoping to find a tidbit on my grandmother. We throughly enjoy each and everyone, but we are kind of careful about the yankees in case they have secret codes embedded in their e-mail. I would hope that the unhappy camper has not been deleted already so he can enjoy these personal love letters. God speed, Frank and Betty

Hi cousins and Gail, Gail, have you already removed this unhappy member from the list? I cannot seem to find him on the Kilgore list so that I may remove him. You must have already taken care of the unhappy camper. Or he sent me the wrong email address..... When Gail and I sign someone up on the board, they get a message from us with these statements in the message: Quote: "We are a FAMILY group, we discuss names other than just KILGORE, subjects other than genealogy (such as computer problems), pass on travel tips and photos (usually areas connected to our ancestors, but not always), enjoy teasing each other at times, and personal comments are not out of line. Praise of a fellow member is always in order! If, after reading this, you do not feel you would be comfortable on this list, please let me know immediately. We like it, but recognize that it is not for everyone." End of quote We KILGORE members do hope you enjoyed your stay with us...................... Now let "Uz remainin' hillbillies get on wif we'uns bizness and furgit this small hitch in we'unses git-along......." Until later, good hunting from ONE of your very wise and noble leaders.

The posting from VARUSSEL list ID's Kilgore in Ireland etc. Please look it over and see if it helps with our King's Mtn. Kilgore from "Taboyn" district.of Ireland. Can someone elaborate and explain the findings as I'm having another senior momment. Cuz Bob Mt View, Ca --------- Forwarded message ---------- From: CSCUNC@aol.com To: VARUSSEL-L@rootsweb.com Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2002 20:02:11 EST Subject: [VARUSSEL] The Laggan Presbytery and Battle of King's Mountain Message-ID: <a3.24410eb9.29ac3893@aol.com> >From Chapter 1 of Alexander Lecky's 1905 book, "The Laggan and its Presbyterianism we find the following description of the district know as the LAGGAN: "On looking at a map of the County Donegal, it will be seen that the north-eastern part of the county, which is the most northerly part of Ireland, is a peninsula washed on the eastern side by the waters of Lough Foyle and on the western by Lough Swilly. This is Inishowen, a mountainous and, to a large extent, a barren country. Immediately to the south of it is a fertile and comparatively flat country, lying between the river Foyle and the upper reaches of Lough Swilly, and extending in one direction from the City of Derry to Stranorlar, and in another from Lifford to Letterkenny. This is the district which in by-gone times was known under the name of THE LAGGAN, and formed the most productive and desireable portion of the ancient territory of Tyrconnell..." This is also where many of my ancestors and yours came from; Defenders of Derry during the great siege, the defining moment in Ulster Protestant history. To an Ulsterman the Siege of Londonderry is what the War Between the States is to an American. Shortly after this event great waves of Derrymen left for America, first settling in Pennsylvania and then moving down the Valley of Virginia and into the Carolinas. This genealogical connection between the families of those who fought at Derry and those who settled in Augusta/Rockbridge counties Virgina and the Settlement of the Northwest Carolina Frontier (Carolina Cradle by Ramsey) eventually reaches a climax on a little mountain in North Carolina on October 7, 1780. This is the area of history that myself and fellow researcher John Giocoletti from Florida have always wanted to explore in detail. This June we will be travelling to Derry and Belfast for some extended research into the family histories of those names that appear both in the records of the Laggan and at King's Mountain. Lecky's two books, "The Laggan and its Presbyterianism," and "In the Days of the Laggan Presbytery," published in 1905 and 1908 Belfast, Davidson & McCormack, North Gate Works, are a must for anyone wanting to discover their Ulster roots. The books real value for the genealogist is in the Appendix which is divided into several parts, the most important being the following: "The following are the names of men who attended the meetings of the Laggan Presbytery between the years 1672 and 1700, as ruling elders or as commissioners, together with the names of the congregations which they represented. They were doubtless the leading men in the districts in which they lived..." These lists are by Parish and I will give a couple of examples: Taboyn: Matthew Lindsay, John Aikine, Alexander Houston, Robert Cowan, Archibald Alexander, Robert Scott, Wm. Mackie, Wm. Bell, Robert M'Clellan, Richard Armstrong, Richard Moore, John Kilgore, Wm. Inglis, John Gay, John Harvey, David Paterson, George Brown, Robert Moore, James Marshall, John Graham Raphoe: Joseph Henderson, Edward Hervies, William Mills, Michael Henderson, Robert Anderson, Patrick Bell, Robert Dick, Alexander Stuart, William Ramsay, James Laird, Robert Walker, John M'Clure, Robert Gray, John Sproul Londonderry: John Craig, William Cunningham, John Campsie, William Rodger, James Fisher, Horace Kennedy, James Wilson, William Macky, James Lennox, William Smith, John Cowan, Alexander Lecky, William Davidsson, James Wallace, George Henderson, others In addition to the ruling elders there is a list of people from the Hearth Money rolls of 1665 by Parish and TOWNLAND which places a person in an area sometimes as small as a few acres. These lists are important when comparing names with the early landowners of Augusta county or the Baptismal records of the the Rev. Craig at Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church or the early settlers of the Yadkin settlement in Rowan county, North Carolina. I will be willing to furnish copies of these two books for a limited time to researchers who want to explore their Ulster genealogy. Many of you purchased copies of Professor Hagy's thesis, "Castle's Woods; Frontier Virginia Settlement" and I have received numerous e-mails about the quality of that document. I believe these two books by Lecky are superior in the information contained and if you would like a copy please contact me privately at cscunc@aol.com for the details. Any information John and I discover specific to your surname will be posted on the appropriate list after our return from Ireland. I will provide a list of surnames that have "made the cut" so far, the requirements being that the family is found in Derry and also found at King's Mountain. Any suggestions for additional names will be considered as long as the request is substantiated with a reasonable amount of documentation. Regards, Robert Cowan 525 Harrogate Rd. Matthews, North Carolina 28105 Names on the list so far: Alexander, Anderson, Bell, Black, Blair, Brown, Buchanan, Campbell, Cowan, Craig, Cunningham, Denniston, Edmondson, Finley, Fleming, Gillespie, Graham, Hamilton, Houston, Irvin, Kilgore, King, Knox, Lindsay, McClure, Maxwell, Moffatt, Montgomery, Moore, Ramsay, Robinson, Russell, Scott, Steele, Stewart/Stuart, Thompson, Walker, Weir, Young spellings may vary John and I will stay in touch with the various lists as best we can. It will not be possible to remain of all the surname lists all the time for obvious reasons. Feel free to contact me at cscunc@aol.com if you have any suggestions or questions. This may make a nice book one day. ==== VARUSSEL Mailing List ==== To subscribe to the list send an email from the email address you wish to have subscribed to: VARUSSEL-L-request@rootsweb.com that contains the word "subscribe" (without quotes) in the body of the message and nothing else.

Yes, Jerry I took him off the list right away last night. Gail

Gail, How sad you removed "Jim" before he could read the comments by Jerry , Randy and others on how we feel about our list. If is possible , perhaps you will forward our feelings to him.

Regulars and longtime members of this list know me to be an easygoing person. Full of mirth, sometimes too silly and often too long-winded, but still easygoing. For the first time I can recall, a post made me really angry. There are likely more than a few members here searching purely for genealogy who get frustrated with the "family posts" which frequent this board more than others. FOR THE RECORD, I LOVE EVERY ONE OF THEM. However, even most of those who don't like them have the courtesy to complain in private or to merely hold their tongue in order to let others enjoy the board their way. The most recent post was unnecessary, unkind and as it was a "last post--unsubscribe", can only be interpreted as intentionally meant to hurt or offend. I hope our front-line welcomers, our "me-toos" posters, our conversational observations, even the ones read by many but directed at only a few, will continue to use our board exactly the way they do. I get between 300-500 emails a week, and I've figured out how to manage them without trying to strike out at someone else. Until now. I'll probably have to come back and apologize for the tenor of this post, but I want to be on record in support of the most caring members of our board, whose names we see over and over greeting the new ones and speaking warm words on behalf of the rest of us.

While I realize this email was for Jerry I must respond. I for one have seen a lot of valuable information passed around on this list. Although we may not post a lot of that information on a daily basis we do post as we find. Many people have contributed tot his list information that does not even pertain to their line of Kilgore's but they find the information worthy to share knowing that it may help out another Kiglore. As for the welcomes, we all feel that we are family here and welcome anyone new tot he list in a manner in which a long lost relative had just arrived. Maybe, if you have not already done so, you should check the archives to see the wealth of information that has been passed from other members. If it was not for Jenna I would not have my Howard Killgores first marriage information. I know that I posted information a long time ago that helped someone else out as well. WE all have our lives outside of the computer and not always do we get to go to the archives to do any research. I for one am a full time Mom and wife, part time student and part time webmaster. I do research in between terms at school. I know many others work outside of the home as well and others are retired enjoying life. It is also winter and more difficult in some places to get out and check on our lines. I will not apologize for the welcomes. It is a great feeling to know that someone is out there to help if I need it. Sincerely Yours Dorothy Hober

I agree with Dorothy, I have been on this list for a long time and still have not found the right John Benjamin Kilgore , but I will stay, and read every word that comes over this list. This is one of the best list I have ever been on. And I am not even a Kilgore, (my husband is). But I sure do get a lot out of this list. It is a list I can count on. Eunice Chapmond - Kilgore P.S. Don't guess he had my John B.
