Looking for the parents of Andrew Jackson GILMORE (1830-1895). I don’t know where he was
born. In 1852, he married Mary Ann GILBERT (1834-1904) of Rockbridge County, Virginia.
He died December 1895 in the Natural Bridge area of Rockbridge County, Virginia.
Andrew Jackson GILMORE doesn’t seem to be related to the other GILMORE families who were
living in Rockbridge County, Virginia during his lifetime (1830-1895). But, maybe you
know more about this???
Also, I would like to contact descendants of Andrew Jackson GILMORE and Mary Ann GILBERT.
I’m planning a family reunion for this summer.

were born in Rockbridge County, Virginia.

some of his siblings?
Thank you for your help.
