Hi Mary and the rest of the gang I will give you the info I have on the Plant City, Fl. Kilgores: Henry M. Kilgore born Ratcliff, TX. on the 25th December, 1881; son of J>D. Kilgore and Jane Adair. He was educated in TX. and came to Fl. in 1902. He established Kilgore feed and seed and became very successful. He married Flossie Z. Motes in Tampa, Fl. March 07, 1904 and they had five children: Naomi, Mildred, Otis, Lois and Madison. I know this family personally from having attended the same local church with them. Madison's widow is still living and is remarried and their two sons are Don Kilgore, who is a retired Judge and John Kilgore who is a doctor here in Plant City. This family has been plagued with scandal and has really taken its toll on Madison's widow. For a long time I was convinced that this was not my line but I have had to rethink this because we are related. I would have to take time to go back and retrace exactly where Henry descends but I was able to do that last year and know that he is a descendant of James SR. You never know where you will find relatives so don't do like I did and assume that there is no relationship. Hope that this helps some of you. Mary I know that both you and Dot Garrison live and have family in TX. so this may be off your line. If you can't make the connection let me know and I will go back over all that I have and see if I can connect to it again. G! ood luck. Cindy (Kilgore) McGehee

Thanks, Cindy for the information. This is the same Kilgores that Paula was trying to connect with several years back. I don't have them in my file. We think that there is a connection but can't find it yet. This family may also connect with the "Buck" Kilgore family.
