    Moore, Matilda Caroline
    Birth : 1835 , Surry County, North Carolina
    Death : 1880
    Gender: Female
    Parents:
    Father: Moore, Samuel Dalton
    Mother: Franklin, Matilda Caroline

    Family:
    Spouse:
    Gilmer, Samuel Jr.
    Birth : 1827 , Surry County, North Carolina
    Death : AFT 1880
    Gender: Male

    Children:
    Gilmer, Alice Dalton
    Gilmer, Gertrude
    Gilmer, Jessie Slade

    There are at least two children not listed here: Mary Belle Gilmer and
    Bernard Gilmer. Mary Belle Gilmer married James Grayson Banner, my great
    grandfather. Although Mary Belle died long before my birth, I did meet
    Bernard.. I think that Mary Belle Gilmer's name BELLE is a family name, but
    I cannot prove it yet.
    Matilda Caroline Moore was the daughter of Samuel Dalton Moore and Matilda
    Caroline Franklin. Matilda Franklin was the daughter of Gov. Jesse Franklin
    of North Carolina and Meekie Perkins.
    I would appreciate any lead you can furnish on Samuel L. Gilmer, Jr. While it
    is obvious that his father would have been Sr., I can find no information on
    him at all -- even from family Bibles



    Of course. I am sorry that I didn't send you the connection. My name is Grayson Banner, 6806 Pershing Ave, St. Louis, MO 63130 314.727 0266 I am the grandson of Bernard G. Banner, late of Gastonia, NC. He was the son of Mary Belle Gilmer and James Grayson Banner. Family history is a hobby for me. I was just recently asked by my mom to do some additional research and that is how I came across your listing. Hope this is satisfactory. If you need more info, let me know.

  1. 8.  John W. SPARGER, (4) was born in 1778 in Friedberg, Surry County, North Carolina (son of John W. SPARGER, (3) and Christina FREY); died in Mount Airy, Surry County, North Carolina.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Reference Number: 98

    Notes:

    !Marshall 0001 - The date of his death is listed as 1833. The family records
    say that he was 55 at his death. That can't be correct because then he would
    Have been born the same year as his brother, Ruben. According to Creasy's
    Manuscript (page 2), John (4) is buried in "Taylor Grave Yard" just outside of Mount Airy, North Carolina. However, I have a letter from Gil Robertson, who lived in Mount Airy, that states he was buried with his wife in Salem Methodist Church Cemetery in Mt Airy. Friedburg, where he was born, is near Winston Salem, North Carolina.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Reference Number: 99

    Notes:

    !Marshall 0001 - She is buried in the church yard at Salem Methodist Church. I have her birth date recorded as 1799 in one place and 1791 in another.
    Obviously one of them is wrong. I need to verify that.
