Hi Jerry, Thanks for the note on the Kilgores in Missouri. Believe it or not, despite having my family in Missouri since 1850, I can't find any connection to this strain of the cousins. However, in the archives is a bunch of additional information on individuals in this posting, including an interesting tale or two. If anyone is having trouble tracking it down, I recommend using the search terms "John Hampton Kilgore" (include the quotation marks); also, "Permelia" with or without the quotation marks. Warm regards from snowy Massachusetts, Randy Kilgore www.RobertRedfordlookalike.com
