My husband is a descendant of Tasco Gilmore, Sr., and Katie Sturgis Gilmore. Tasco Gilmore, Sr., was born in 1840 and died in 1921 in West Feliciana, Louisiana. He and Katie were the parents of: Andrew Gilmore, Frank Gilmore, Courtney Gilmore, Tasco Gilmore, Jr., Annie Hannah Gilmore, Hiram Gilmore, Randolph Gilmore, Maggie Gilmore, Annie Gilmore and Vanicia Gilmore.
The Gilmore's are a very large family. We visit two churches in the area: Greater New Hollywood Baptist Church and Hollywood Baptist Church cemeteries. It appears to have been a split somewhere in the history of the church.
We drove around sightseeing and visited the West Feliciana Historical Museum in St. Francisville. We drove to Rosedown Plantation and it was too much walking for me, so we decided to go somewhere else. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery. I was very happy to see that he found a lot of his ancestors graves.
