In Reply to: Low Gap Ark. Kilgore Family by Margie White of 2423

Here is more on your Kilgore/Killgores from Low Gap.

Susan C. , wife, age 25, born June 1874, AR father born MO mother born NC,married 11 years, 7 children born 3 living

Ulysses, son age 6 born Dec. 1893, born

Henry, son age 5, born April 1895

Dorothy, daughter, age 1, born Jan. 1899

all children born AR father born AR other born AR

Even though the places for mother's birth were different for the Killgore men, I thought they might all be brothers so went to 1880 to see.
I found the family with Nancy as the mother so it seems her sons or whoever gave the info did not know where she was born.

1880 VAN BUREN, NEWTON, AR
KILGORE
Rubin age 43, farming born KY parents both born KY

Nancy J. age 41, keeping house, born MO parents borth born TN

Isom, son age 20, farming, born AR

Jackson, son age 18, helps on farm, born AR

Marian, daughter, age 14, helps on farm, born AR

Isaac, son age 12, helps on farm, born AR, cannot write

Cinthia A.daughter, age 10, helps keep house,born AR, cannot read or write,

Albert, son age 8 born AR

Ambrose, son age 6 born AR

John, son age 5 born AR

Waid H. son age 4 born AR

Perusa J., daughter, age 2, born AR

Mary A., daughter, age 1, born AR

all children show father born K mother born TN (the enumerator just put ditto marks under the third column which they should not have done as that was parents of Nancy not of the children.

So if Nancy had 16 children and 13 were living in 1900 they were:
Isham, John, Jackson, Isaac, Wayd, Prussy, Mary, Belle, Rufus, Ulsses and 3 others.
1880 had also - Marian, Cinthia, Albert, and Ambrose for a total of 14 known children - 2 unknown.

1870 JACKSON, NEWTON, AR
KILGORE
Reuben age 31, born IL

Nancy age 29 born MO

Jonathan age 11, born AR

Isham age 9 born AR

Jackson age 8 born AR

Marion age 4, born AR

Isaac, age 2, born AR

Cintha age 6/12 born AR

1860 WAR EAGLE AND WALNUT, BENTON, AR
KILGORE (in index as Kilyere)
Rubin age 23, farmer , born KY

Nancy age 20 born O

Jonathan age 1, born AR

Isom, age 3/12 born AR

** I wondered about Jonathan - is he one who died young? He is not in the 1880 and later census years and they named another son John in 1875. I wondered if he died between 1870 and 1875.
Nancy seemed to have a child about every two years so there may have been one born between Jackson and Marion that died??

I took a look at ancestry.com family trees and found a few - one has a whole list of the children of Reuben and Nancy as:
Jonathan 1859-1875
Isham 1860-1921
Jackson 1862-1934
Billy 1864-1864
Marion 1865-1937
Issac 1868-1945
Cinthia 1870-1961
Albert 1872-1889
Ambrose 1873-1967
John Henry 1875-1937
Waid "Hamp" 1876-1961
Pruvia J 1877 -1939
Mary A. 1879-1946
Belladonia 1881-1936
Rufus 1882-1906
Ulyes 1884-1929

They have marriage date of March 18, 1858 LaRue Benton, AR for Reuben and Nancy.
Also birth: Reuben Shelly Kilgore Jan. 8, 1837 Trigg Co. KY died March 7, 1898 Newton Co. AR
father : Jonathan Kilgore,born 1810, mother: unknown Indian


Nancy Jane Roseberry born March 3, 1839 Newton, AR died May 10, 1908 Newton, AR - father: Isom Roseberry, mother Elizabeth

They don't show any sources for any of the info so take from it what you will. I doubt that Nancy was born Newton, AR, as all census show her birth place as MO

They do show a total of 16 children which is what the census says Nancy has.

I hope this helps you.

Carolyn L.
