Questions... Who are the parents of Robert Lee Gilmore? Where was he born? A person named Robert "E" Gilmore, the correct age, is in the 1870 census in Rockbridge Co, VA. But, I cannot connect "this" Robert Gilmore to "my" Robert Gilmore's wife & children. I have no documentation that "my" Robert Gilmore was born In Rockbridge Co, VA, or who his parents were. Do you? Here is more info on "my" Robert Gilmore & his family. Thanks for any info you can provide. ROBERT LEE GILMORE born March 4, 1861 (possibly in Rockbridge Co, VA) died August 26, 1907 (from train wreck in Rarden [Scioto Co] OH) He was a train conductor on the N&W railroad. buried in Greenlawn Cemetery, Portsmouth [Scioto Co], OH his wife MARY GERTRUDE POLLOCK born abt 1867 in NY died Jan 21, 1918, Portsmouth [Scioto Co], OH buried in Greenlawn Cemetery, Portsmouth [Scioto Co], OH Their children are: Roy Leonard --- born Aug 28, 1888, Pulaski Co, VA* Ray Leonard --- born Aug 28, 1888, Roanoke City, VA* Charles "Red" --- born April 12, 1890, Pulaski Co, VA* Harrell/ Harold "Harry" --- born Oct 21, 1891, Pulaski Co VA* Grace (HUSTON & SHEPPARD) --- born Pulaski Co VA in 1893 Joseph Peyton --- born Pulaski Co VA in 1897 Raymond --- born in KY about 1900 Clarence --- born in VA about 1902 Blanche (DUNCAN) --- born in OH about 1903 William "Willie" --- born in OH about 1906 Frances (a female) (MADER) --- born in OH in 1907 (maybe born in Portsmouth [Scioto Co], OH) * source = Virginia Bureau of Vital Statistics Birth Index Note that Ray & Roy may have been twins who died of smallpox. I need to check on this to be sure. 1910 census (in Portsmouth, OH) lists Mary as having 11 children, 9 living, and Charles is the oldest at that time. Thanks for your help!
