According to the wills James Kilgore died 1771 of Chester & Cumberland Counties PA & his wife Elizabeth Jack Kilgore who died in 1792, they did not have a son named Charles whom we believe was the brother of Robert (M: Winnie Clayton). They did have a son named Robert though. But if you are referring to James Kilgore's father as the John Kilgore who died in 1731 Chester Co PA-then you are again looking at misinformation. This line once believed this man John Kilgore was the f/o James Kilgore-but later researchers found that this man died an almost penniless pauper in 1731 with no heirs. His estate was inventoried because his lodging house owner requested the court to sell this John Kilgore's effects to pay for his lodging and burial. If James Kilgore had been this man's son, he would have been obligated to assume his father's debts as his heir. This wasn't the case.

I believe my wife is descended from James William Kilgore 1701-1771 (on your list) according to a living Cuthbertson descendent?John Evans. We have personal knowledge of Nancy Kilgore, her father Rev. Robert Kilgore. The Cuthbertson gave us Rev. Robert's father as Robert Kilgore and his father as James William Kilgore. Matching dates and children's names, I believe Williams father is John Kilgore 1675 and his father is Gen Douglas Kilgore. When It comes to Kilgore stories, there is the 3 brother, 4 brother and 7 brother accounts to recon with. Cousin-in-law and fruitcake want-to-be Charles R.
