Bio and Links
Genealogy has been a serious business for me since I was in grade school. I documented and discovered that my 3rd great-grandmother Laura A. (WHITMARSH) MILLER's parents Horace WHITMARSH & Clarissa Mitchell (WARNER) WHITMARSH were both Mayflower descendants. I tracked the surname GILMORE back to Capt. James GILMORE of Rockbridge Co, Virginia. (Thanks to the late Shelby GILMORE for his ground breaking research in the 1960-70s.) Turns out that he was present at the Battle of Yorktown where poor Cornwallis discovered that yes he would be famous but no not for something to land him in to #10 Downing Street. Other discoveres include proving Mennonite ancestry via the BINKLEY orig BINGELLI and STAUFFER lines.

Corrections & Questions: Use the S.A.C. for corrections and please differentiate facts from from suppositions and might be for the benefit of other researchers. Also if it's a question that I don't have an instant answer for that requires further research remember that the facts are the foundation for the solution. Correction and question e-mails should NOT be deletion requests as those requesting deletions are considered a nuisance and are treated accordingly. Include your e-mail address in the S.A.C. and you must have your findagrave.com messages visible to the public. If you are requesting links include the findagrave code number after each person.

Transfers: Most of the the virtual graves I manage are blood kin in some way. I don't transfer direct ancestors or very close relatives of my grandparents. For others that can happen if you are more closely related than me.

First: leave some kind of flower on the virtual grave in question. Use the correct e-mail (NOT a message on my profile) that includes your e-mail address (required) and tell me how you are related. If the person is someone I'm not related to I usually transfer these type immediately. (Unless you ask if you have other relatives buried in the same cemetery. In that case I might need that virtual grave as a reference point for easy access because non-relatives will not be in my internal database.) I probably know very little about a non-relative so someone who is a relative should manage them.

Second: If I am related but you are a closer relative to that person --- I will look at my internal database --- I may have questions for you! I may have active research that I conducting on that person and/or his/her near relatives. So just because I don't transfer a relative immediately doesn't mean no if I don't say no. Before I transfer a relative I back check my internal database to make sure what I have there matches findagrave. If you send in the "correction" additional facts, crosslinks to parents or other updated data I need to fix BOTH areas. I have also been known to transfer a group of graves for the same family. If I am doing a group transfer I also back check each cemetery to see if there are other relatives of the person who don't have virtual memorials but should. All of this takes TIME which is a precious commodity and when it is done it should be done right the first time.

The type of transfers I absolutely will not do are any type of these three:

#1 Any of my direct ancestors and other close relatives of my grandparents.
#2 To people who are bulk collectors of virtual graves that do not transfer outside of guidelines.
#3 To people who have harassed others on findagrave.

MY FAMILY:
These are direct line known surnames to my 7th great-grandparents. Note that on those from Norge I am trying to use "farm" names because surnames were not generally required by law till about 1900 in Norge. American & Canadian states/provinces are abbreviated in all caps. Other countries are spelled out preferably in that nation's first language. When you see a surname repeated that is because it is actually more than one unrelated surnames with the the surname coming closest to this current time listed first. Several of these families can be accessed through my multiple virtual cemeteries. Most of these, but not all, are public:

re: James Brandon #79962249
Thank you for entering James plot #.
As for his wife, I didn't find her name in the list. Maybe it just got missed somehow. But it is quite possible that she is next to James.
I did find a Minnie Ann Brandon that is located very near James, but the burial date is 1923.

As for Parsons cemeteries... I know where 4 of them are located and they're names, but I really know nothing about them. If you want the names of the ones I know, they are (Memorial Lawn, Mt. Olivet, Calvary, and Oakwood.)

Peter Fair
Just a note to let you know that your memorial for Peter Fair in the Bethel Cemetery is incorrect. My cousin Jean has the correct Bethel Cemetery. Jean even has a photograph of Peter's grave marker that she took in 1989. Would you please make the necessary corrections regarding links his children. Peter's correct memorial is: 110350867. In the meanwhile, I would appreciate if you would remove my bio information from Peter's memorial.

Regards,

Jerry Fair

RE: GILMORE
Thank you.

I have added the flowers/messages and would also like to request linking James Adney Gilmore 62492051 as a child to James Paton Gilmore (62469347. Most of the Gilmore children (siblings to James A) died in the diptheria epidemic and their graves were all amongst the vinca vine, which we had to uncover, in the Gilmore Cemetery in Douglas County, OR. James P and Nancy Barnes Gilmore lived in the Roseburg area originally and then moved to Klickitat County, WA and settled on the DLC pictured on the memorial page. I have pictures of many of their children's graves and will find those and add as well. That is not an easy cemetery to get into! ;-)

For the record of all the children to James P and Nancy Barnes Gilmore, please see my online family tree. http://worldconnect.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=babyangels&id=I0011


Thank you!

James Paton Gilmore
Hello! It appears we are Gilmore cousins... My James Gilmore and your Robert Gilmore are brothers.

I tracked the Gilmore Cemetery near Roseburg, OR down with my father about 15 years ago and we took a load of pictures and put together headstones to take pictures, etc...

James and Mary Polly Poteet Gilmore's son, James Paterson Gilmore (62469347) is my direct line as well. I wondered if you would mind changing the management of his grave to me, since he is my direct line. I manage his parents graves as well.

Would love to share any other Gilmore information you have. I have files I've kept on all, but have been very busy with raising children and caring for my father who now has brain cancer. I need to transfer my entire family tree to my Mac and get all updated!

Thank you,
Maria

Latham burials in Nichols Cemetery
Not all of the Latham's are in the same location but there a quite a few buried in the same location of the large upright monument.

If you read the "updates" I added to each name, you'll see which ones are buried in Section 2 Lot 87 - for example: Clara, Clarissa, Henry, Sidney,and Lena are buried there. Edith and Herbert are buried in Section 3 Lot 94.

I added the photo Welthy Dean. Would you send me an email and tell me how you are related to the Dean's? My husband is a descendant of Louisa Dean.

Latham Family burials in NIchols Cemetery
I was wondering about Albert Latham's burial in Nichols Cemetery.

May I inquire as to where you obtained your info regarding his burial as there is NO record of it in the Nichols Cemetery burial records which date back to first burial on record as 1834 for Uri Pearsall.

I'd like to be able to update their information but need documentation to validate his burial location within the cemetery.

PS. I'll be taking the additional photos within the next day or so for the outstanding Latham's headstone requests - I have their burial locations.

Thanks, Kem

Latham pictures
I posted the pictures of Sidney, Clara and Clarissa from the Nichols Cemetery. I will also post the pictures of Henry and Lena. I could not find Herbert and Edith. They were not in the family plot. There was Millison Latham Schmoll and her husband Harrison Andrew Schmoll. I do have that picture. I will try try to find the other two the next time i go back to Nichols. I grew up there but have since moved to NC.
