Hello all: My name is Roy Martin Killgore,  I descend from :  1 Charles Kilgore & Martha ??? , 2 William Kilgore & Jane Henderson, 3 Henry Gregg Killgore & Frances Hayes,  4 Simeon Edgar Killgore & Lassaphine Arnn, 5 Charlie Hayes Killgore & Maude S Martin. 6. Roy Martin Killgore The only proof I have is, Henry Gregg is listed in church records as a son of William Killgore and Jane Henderson.  Henry Gregg Killgore is listed in My mothers Bible.  Simeon is listed in my mothers bible as a son of Henry and Frances, and in census records. ( Simeon did not like his name so, on the census records he  is called  first, Simpson and then Samuel) I have no proof beyond William and Jane. The rest is speculation on my part. If this is proof enough, I will participate in the DNA testing. ----- Original Message ---- From: Sherry Arnold <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, September 13, 2008 5:24:21 PM Subject: Re: [KILGORE] DNA Testing I would like to nominate Charles Kilgore (Martha) of Green Co TN.  Do we have many of his descendants on this list? 1.  Vickie Miller 2.  Gladys Forgety 3.  Roy M Kilgore 4.  Sherry Arnold Please add your name if you descend from Charles.\ Sherry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Shaw" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, September 13, 2008 5:14 PM Subject: Re: [KILGORE] DNA Testing > Someone needs to start a list: with the name of the living person and > their > known or suspected ancestors. > Then we can select from that list, as the donations come in. > > Charles R.
