Nancy and Stuart,
So far as I know, you two are the only ones on the list claiming descent from
William of Davidson Co. NC through his daughter Anna.
Nancy, I was about to try to bring up a list of arguments about why your
information on John Gallimore marrying an Ann(a) Peacock might be in error,
but haven't had the time just yet. But, the major reason was the records of
'illegitamacy' found in the court records for Anna's children. Stuart has
also run into these records, with an added twist of sort
Nancy and Stuart:
Now we may be getting somewhere! Received an e-mail from Frank Hedrick, who
is also descended from the Peacocks. Here is what he had to say:
>>The Peacock families living near Four Mile Branch, on Flat Swamp Creek in
Davidson County are not a part of the Samuel Peacock family from Johnson
County NC. This Peacock family came from MD and first was in Orange County
where Samuel married Leah Jones. (bond is on line Orange County Genweb).
Samuel was then followed by 2 brothers to Four M
Hi Virginia,
Regarding your decision on where to place Noah Gallimore, with the IN
Gallimores, or the NC bunch or with the MO bunch, I think I would place him
in MO because when I am trying to find a line, it seems to be easier (for me)
to trace someone backward from their last place of residence. Jean Gayle
Linda (and all):
Stuart Armstrong knew something of this William we were just speaking of. (We
were wanting to find some Gallimores who had come from NC, went on to TN,
then to AR.) Here is the recent e-mail from him:

>From Smith and Edwards manuscript in my possession: William did not come to
Kentucky with his mother and brothers and sisters; but he remained in North
Carolina with other relatives. Later he went to Tennessee and settled at the

Have just added the descendants of William Gallemore of North Carolina (whose family migrated to Kentucky) to my website. Take a look.

Judy Barr,
I hope you can give us some advice. I'm about to send what I have on Noah to
Ruth for posting to the web site, but don't know whether to place him as a
Rowan Co. NC, Morgan Co. IN, or Newton Co. MO family. If left alone, I would
probably go with the latter. But, should I? Please, the rest of you, too,
weigh in on this kind of question, as it will come up for many families. Does
one pick the place where he lived the longest, or where he came from?

Hang on to your hats. This is interesting indeed:

Hi Ruth, and Everyone,
We don't have William's family up on the web page, yet. Thought maybe we
could start with his will (while you are waiting for me to get a file fixed
for him). I'd place him in North Carolina, under Davidson County. Are you OK
with the John Peacock being the father of Alexander, Nancy? In other words,
have we convinced you? And Stuart, if you know John went to court over
another birth, what year was it, and do you have the proof? This, so we know
which children to assign to him,
Virginia,
I really wouldn't know it, if my Charles (Charley) Gallemore's family was
found, since I have not established exactly where he was from.
The family manuscript says Lena Beatrice JENKINS is the only child of
Jeremiah JENKINS Evelyn E. WRAY, that did not get married in Arkansas. She
was born March 8, 1886. Jeremiah and Evelyn left Davidson Co., TN and went
to Boone Co., Arkansas right after the war. In 1902 Jeremiah took the
family and inlaws to Erath Co., TX.....then they settled in Hermleigh,
May I suggest that Noah be referred to on both Indiana and Missouri, since
he was among the first to own land in Indiana, with original land sales in
Morgan County dated Nov 23 1832,Nov 1 1841, another parcel Nov 1 1841, Feb
26 1844,Oct 26 1846, another on Oct 26 1846, May 19 1848, and Apr 19 1850.
Because of the unusual soil content on some of the land owned by Noah in
Morgan County which was referred to as Gallimore Knob, geologists refer to
the particular type of soil as "Gallimore Soil" !! Not ev

Elijah Gallimore is part of my branch of Gallimores, that is, he is descended
from Samuel of Carroll Co. VA. He was killed in the Civil War. Years ago,
someone asked me if I knew anything about Sarah Reece. I did not. What a
wonderful piece of information to pass along to this individual if I had had
this back then! Now, I have lost the name of the person who was looking.
Ruth, do you think this would be a valuable bit to add onto the web page? You
can rewrite it to make it fit into what you ha

This is mostly for you. It's pretty much all I have on John's family. I'll
send you the address of Phyllis Sheets by private e-mail. She'll be able to
fill you in on all the research she's done.

Excellent page Stuart! Lots of interesting information. May I link your

page to ours. :-)

Linda,
I did find a man who left NC, went to TN, then eventually to AR.
It's William Gallimore, youngest son of Ann/Anna Gallimore of Rowan/Davidson
Co., who was born in 1819, and married Margaret Alexander. He did not go to
KY with his mother and the rest of his family.
Don't have any more information. It's not much to go on, is it? This William
would be the grandson of the William who settled in the Flat Swamp area of
Rowan, later Davidson Co. NC.
I wonder if we can pick him up on any of the cens
Hi Stuart
I read with much interest, your information re Anna Gallemore of Rowan Co.
In my search for info on my John Gallimore of Cabarrus Co., I spent some time
looking at the Rowan Co. records.
Shirley Hoffman (who descends from Jesse Gallemore, Sr., son of William
Gallemore), was at one time librarian of the Edith Clark History Room in
Salisbury. In a letter she wrote to me in 1994, Shirley says: "Yes, I
believe that Anna and her children were in her father's house with the
orphans of Jesse,

This is one of those frustrations of genealogy. Most of the sources I have are secondary or tertiary sources. Richard Edwards' research is superb in some areas and not s
Stuart:
Took a peek at your web site yesterday. Very nice! Your private e-mail to me
today makes me wonder if you have any time to respond to all my questions,
but thought that it couldn't hurt to ask.
First of all, do you know what relatives William of Davidson Co. TN stayed
with when he stayed behind in NC? (Am hoping this might lead to a connection
between certain families -- for instance, if he stayed with Elisha of
Davidson Co. NC, maybe we could assume he's related in some way to Elisha --
