Judy, you sound like a VERY thorough researcher, maybe there is someone on this list who will recognize your family and respond to you. Wish I could help but my KILGORE didn't get to Alabama, they stopped in Weakley Co TN, extreme western TN. BUT rhere are several early families in Weakley that came up from Limestone Co AL It that near your area? Good luck to you!!!

Kilgore of Georgia and Alabama Sherry, Thanks so much for the reply. I'm trying to go slow here and not jump to any conclusions too fast. I am 99 percent certain I have the correct William because of his son's WWI Draft Registration Card. It gives his name as "David Morris Kilgore" and states he was born in 1889 in Cottondale, Alabama. (My husband's name was Davis Maurice Kilgore but he went by David.) In the 1900 Tuscaloosa County census, Cottondale Beat , William Kilgore's family shows a son named David, age 11. There are two other children, Oscar (6) and Ruth (2). His wife is named Josie, age 40. born in Alabama. There is an error in William's age which says 45, but it states he was born in 1844 which would make him 55. William states that both his parents were born in South Carolina, but that may or may not be a lead, based on who gave the info and how accurate it is. I also don't know if they may have stopped somewhere in between on their way to Alabama. I searched for some Civil War service on Ancestry and found a William Kilgore but I have no way of knowing if it is the right one. Young Davis (b. 1889) grew up and married an Erline Cox and lived in Jefferson County, Alabama, where he raised his family. I have only two other children besides my Davis, Dorothy, b. abt 1914, and William Cox Kilgore, b. abt 1919. (These are from the 1920, 1930 census). MapQuest shows the address was probably in Bessemer. His son, also Davis, moved to Atlanta sometime between 1830 and 1840. He was married several times. I hesitate to give too much personal information because I know there are still living descendants out there. Would love to make contact with family members and take these Kilgores back as far as I can.
