I don't know if there is a connection, but here's info on my Gilmore's from the same region:Norma Jane Webb was the mother of Walter Gilmore.He was born either in Inez or in Greenup County, KY (depending on which document you trust) around 1899...per his social security records, his father was George Gilmore.
But wait!There's a little mystery to all this!Family legend has it that Walter not really a Gilmore by birth, but was taken in by a Gilmore family (maternal relatives) after his father was involved in a coalminer strike in Eastern Ky. His father apparently threw a brick, hitting and killing a policeman.He went into hiding & Walter was sent to live with the Gilmores.
Walter apparently had some half siblings:
Clarence Basenback
Harold Deer
Goldie (lived in Oklahoma?)
Let me know if you see any connections...
