Information on William Gilmore

From Rootsweb.com post:

From: <FStrampe@@aol.com> Subject: Re: Nancy GILMORE - Albemarle Co., VA Date: Sat, 17 Apr 1999 07:50:39 EDT

William Gilmore born about 1724 was the son of John and Agnes Gilmore. John married Elizabeth Anderson, daughter of Isaac and Martha Anderson. They resided in Lexington (Rockbridge County) Virginia on Kerr Creek. Elizabeth and her daughter, Nancy, were captured by Indians in a massacre in 1763 at Kerr Creek and later redeemed. In 1776 William and Elizabeth sold their land in Rockbridge (then Augusta County). They were in Washington County, VA by 1778 when William was appointed one of the commissioners to locate a route from the north side of Clinch Mtn in Washington County.

William and Elizabeth had two children, Nancy Gilmore b. 1763 d. 1832 married John Cowan and William Morgan Gilmer 1767-1841 m. 1) Martha Edmiston; m. 2) Elizabeth Wright; and William m. 3) Elizabeth Necessary.

I have no information on Nancy and John Cowan but would like to know their children.
