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
