Killgore/Kilgore/Kilgour
© Margaret Killgore was born circa 1675 probably in Tyrone, Ulster, Ireland, her parents are unknown. Margaret married Robert McGee circa 1695 probably in Donagheady Parish, Tyrone, Ulster, Ireland as was the family tradition. Unfortunately the records for Donagheady Parish are not complete and there are many missing baptism and marriage records.
Margaret's husband Robert Mcgee was the son of James Magee/McGee and Marianna Leighton.
The Killgore Clan like the McGees was another prominent family in Ireland taking its roots from Scotland. The name Kilgore is of Gaelic in origin, from the ancient name of a parish in Fife Shire Scotland. The surname is found all over Fife and is also common in Aberdeenshire
Kilgour means “wooded hill”. From the Celtic word for hill we get kill and from the Gaelic prefix kil which meaning often denoted a church, we get the idea that kil could mean a “church hill”.
John K. Johnston in his famous "Clan Kilgore" (1925) relates that there was a medieval church near Falkland, named Kilgour, which he says means "Church on the hill"
Margaret and Robert had least two known children, both sons:
1. Robert McGee who married an unknown Irish woman in Donagheady Parish, the couple would later immigrate from Ireland to America with their five sons, known as "The Five McGee brothers from Ireland."
2. George McGee whose birth date is lost but was baptized on 20 February 1699.
