General Notes: Husband - John C. Gilmore

---

He was a member of the Venango County, Pennsylvania, family long known here in their connection with Gilmore's mill. His grandfather Gilmore was a native of Baltimore, Maryland, and it was in a trade he made with George Washing­ton on the street in that city that the General secured the white horse upon which he is pictured. When the family emigrated to western Pennsylvania they settled on a tract of about twelve hundred acres lying on what is now the Butler and Venango County line. During the time when they were making settlement on this tract the pioneer Gilmore brought out two of his children, a boy of twelve and another son younger, and left them on the land to hold the claim while he returned to Baltimore on business. They had a little house built of poles for habitation, and remained there alone during their father's absence of two weeks, very proud of their new home and their responsibility. In the evening the wolves would howl around and drive their little dog indoors, but the children kept a small fire burning to scare the animals off. There was once an Indian camping place on the old homestead of the Gilmores, and Indian darts were frequently ploughed up. [CAB, 1002]
