Gail, I have the Kilgore surname in my husbands family tree and the French surname in my daughters tree. My Kilgore's are all in VA and my French's are all in New England. But recently I ran across a Capt.Kilgore in the Rev. in a record of the 8th Pennslyvania Regiment. Only one mention of him and that is that he did not leave with the regiment because he gave up his appointment. Could this help? Judee
