She married Samuel Davidson in 1779 (DAR #655876 of Sallie Teaford McKEmy, descendant of Samuel Davidson, 2nd Lt in VA Militia). Their daughter Ann Davidson, dau of Samuel Davidson dec'd married Robert Kirkpatrick on 5 Feb 1799. The licence showed the bondsman as James Gilmore and I thought this might be her grandfather, but now I see that James Gilmore is more likely Ann's uncle-the brother of her mother Elizabeth Gilmore Davidson. Do you have any ideas on how I might tie this up with some real proof instead of speculation since John Gilmore only mentions his "5 daughters" in his will? Thanks for your help. Debbie

Joanne I would like to learn more, especially about the Beatty/Beattie connection. My wife is a Beatie of the John Beattie/Eleanor Gilmore line. I'm trying to track the Gilmores, Cunninghams and other closely associated families to determine John Beattie's origin, parents, siblings, etc. Can you put me on to the proof that John did not have a daughter Martha. I know Martha is not listed on his will. Do you know anything about the Gilmore's immigration, where they arrived, when did the get to Rockbridge Co, etc.? Have you seen the original wedding bonds and consent notices in the Rockbridge Co.? Here is one Isabella Gilmore/James Lecky. It will get you to the URL. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/va/rockbridge/images/1782/1782-028.jpg Contact me direct so we can discuss further and share our info.

I am searching for info on these two and trying to tie them in as children of John Benson and Lucinda Hite of Rockbridge Co., VA. William Benson m. Wilhelmina Scott 4/4/1839 in Rockbridge Co. On the 1850 Census for Rockbridge they are listed with 3 children Elizabeth A., Delila J., and Sarah M. By 1860 Census, William is living in Lawrence Co. OH with these 3 children plus George T. and William M. He remarried Nancy J. McDaniel (b. WVA) on 9/25/1860 in Lawrence Co., OH. They are listed in the 1870 census with William M., Marinda?, Leona?, and Charles. Then again in 1880 with these 4 plus James, Elizabeth, and Richard. Archibald Benson m.Elizabeth Scott 1/31/1839 in Rockbridge Co., VA. 1850 Census for Rockbridge lists them with 3 children, Phebe A., John W., and Sarah J. 1860 they are still in Rockbridge with these 3 plus Archibald Baily, and William Benson. 1870 Census for Lawrence Co., OH has them listed with Sarah J., Archibald B., and William. 1880 Census for same county shows Elizabeth Scott widowed and living alone. The next family listed is William Benson and Nancy McDaniel. Does any of this ring a bell with anyone? If so, I would love to hear from you. I would love to get my hands on the death info for Archibald & William in hopes of finding an obit. Donna

It's easy to confuse the Rockbridge and Rockingham Gilmores, but courthouse records, marriage bonds, wills, bible records, tombstones and land deeds settle most of our questions. It is well documented that James Gilmore, s/o John and Agness of Kerr's Creek married Martha Dennison. Their son Robert m. Sarah "Sally" Beatty, and they were the parents of the "Gilmore Granddaughters" named in John Beatty's will. In spite of what was often reported, joint efforts by a group of Gilmore/Beatty/Logan researchers a few years ago pretty much proved that John Beatty did NOT have a daughter named Martha. Robert Gilmore died in 1777, his estate settled in 1779. When his widow Sarah remarried in 1780 (to James Logan) it was a Gilmore son-in-law who posted bond. Wills and marriage bonds in Rck.
