Hi!! ;-) I just wanted to tell you that you have a new cousin to meet. She is Davine Roberts who lives in Jacksonville, FL. Davine say's her husband's mother's maiden name is Catherine Mary Kilgore, and she was born and lived in Walker Co., AL. She now lives in Jacksonville, FL, close to where we live. Some of her Kilgores lived in Fayette Co., AL, which is next to Walker Co., AL. WILLIAM KILGORE, born abt 1862, is the earliest Kilgore we have been able to prove. It has been passed down that there is native Indian blood, and that ancestors of this family were in Oklahoma before they came to Walker and Fayette Counties in AL. Also, it has been told that they came to Walker Co., AL earlier, and then they went to OK on the Trail of Tears, and returned to Walker Co. around 1900. There was a newspaper article written on Mae Kilgore Holley (Catherine's aunt), before she died, probably in the early 1980's, where she told of her oxen drawn wagon ride from Oklahoma to Walker County with her parents when she was a very small child. Mae was born 2 Sept 1895 somewhere is OK. Catherine Mary Kilgore's line is given below, starting with her. 1 CATHERINE MARY KILGORE. Born on 12 Oct 1922 in Cordova, Walker County, AL. On 7 Dec 1940 when CATHERINE MARY was 18, she married William Earl ROBERTS, in Pascagoula, MS. They were divorced on 5 Dec 1951. 2 JAMES ROBERT (BOB) KILGORE SR. Born on 7 Jul 1884. JAMES ROBERT (BOB) died on 28 Feb 1962, he was 77. Buried in Griggs Place Cemetery, Rock City/Winfield, Marion Co., AL. On 10 Aug 1905 when JAMES ROBERT (BOB) was 21, he married KATE McNUTT, in Cordova, Walker County, AL. 3 KATE McNUTT. Born on 2 Feb 1886 in probably Walker Co., AL. KATE died in Prichard, AL, at her daughter's (Christine) house on 28 Jul 1947, she was 61. Buried in Griggs Place Cemetery, Rock City/Winfield, Marion Co., AL. 4 WILLIAM KILGORE. Born abt 1862.
