Just a thought. There was a Matthew Gilmore that was married to Mary Bowman and living in Hardy Co. Va. in the latter 1700's. I believe they had children David, Peter, William, Matthew and possibly others. Mary Bowman died in the early 1800's as she is listed as such in an estate sale of her brother. I am not sure if Matthew, her husband was still alive or not. He would probably be born about 1760. His son David moved to Tucker Co. Va/WVa, Peter married in Randolph Co. Va. and moved to Greene Co. Pa., William died shortly after marrying in Randolph Co. Va., and the other Matthew married a Shobe and moved to Ohio. Perhaps the Matthew that you list is the father who remarried and moved to Greene Co. where his son Peter lived. If he disappears about 1840, then perhaps he died around age 80. The son Peter married at least twice, his first wife was a Wiles and he also married Eleanor Trowbridge. I haven't looked at records that show this Matthew in Hardy Co. in the late 1700's but have been told that he is listed there along with the younger Matthew. Do you have any idea of when your Matthew was born??
