(The exceptions were the Jewish and Catholic cemeteries which, though closed, the remains were moved to newer Jewish and Catholic cemeteries.) The Franklinton Cemetery was the first in Franklin County and many of the remains of those buried there were removed to Green Lawn Cemetery. I was unable to find any information about Sally Davidson Gilmore. Here is what I did find. Source: Donald M. Schlegel, THE COLUMBUS CITY GRAVEYARDS (Columbus History Service, Columbus, OH 1985), page 107 (Mr. Schlegel's reference for the information is Alfred E. Lee, HISTORY OF THE CITY OF COLUMBUS (1892), 2:722): GILMORE, James Native of Rockbridge Co., Va., died Oct. 10, 1817, aged 61y; tombstone at Franklinton; Sunday Herald, May 2, 1886. - Lee, II/722 GILMORE, Mary Wife of James Gilmore 2d., died June 17, 1818 aged 28y; tombstone at Franklinton; Sunday Herald May 2, 1886. - Lee, II/722 My guess is that the reference to the tombstones and the Sunday Herald are Mr. Lee's sources.
