Our newest member to the list is Linda Hesselgrave Lowrey and Linda says, "I grew up in Superior, Douglas Co., WI. Left Superior in 1974 & have lived in Atlanta, GA since 1980. My dad Howard Henry Hesselgrave came to Superior from Akeley, MN in 1918 when evacuated in boxcars to escape the bog fire. Dad used to speak of Archie Kilgore (other first names don't come to me right now)and I also went to school with Mike Kilgore (Central High School, 1965, Superior, WI). My parents bought their home from a Kilgore in 1941. I did not realize until a couple years ago that the Kilgores & Hesselgraves were related. There are still Kilgore families in Superior. One of the boys works at Greenwood Cemetery. I am not a KILGORE descendant, but have realized that there are often far more connections than what there appear to be. So, now to the genealogy stuff. Most of my information comes from "The Hesselgrave Families in America" pub. in 1979. My cousin's wife (KATHY CARLSON HESSELGRAVE) submitted the information for part of my line & she corresponded with a WYMAN KILGORE. I have pictures & correspondence from the KILGORE side found in my parents house. My connection is this: HARRY BENJAMIN KILGORE, b.1888, IA, son of WILLIAM EDWIN KILGORE and RUTH LOUISE NASH, m.(1903), SD, ALMA LOIS HESSELGRAVE b.1894, MN. ALMA was the dau. of FRED HESSELGRAVE and NELLIE COLE. ALMA died in 1918, and her children, WYMAN EARL EUGENE & HERBERT BERNARD KILGORE went to Grant Co., SD to live with their grandparents, JAMES & ALICE COLE I descend from JOHN HESSELGRAVE & MARY VIOLA PUTNAM. JOHN & FRED HESSELGRAVE were brothers." Be glad to offer any other info.
