We find John's family in Franklin County OH on the 1807 tax roll and then in Madison County in 1810. They probably didn't move, but the border just changed. I find the Franklin County marriage records list Margaret Kilgore md Silas Springer 9/19/1809, with the consent of John and Jane Kilgore, meaning she was probably a minor. A Jenny Kilgore md Thomas Patterson 10/26/1809 (keep in mind Madison wasn't created until 1810). I am sure Jenny was really Jane because there is not marriage record for a Jane and Jenny was often a nickname for Jane. The John Kilgore family was the only Kilgore family in the county at the time, so there is no doubt that these two were John's daughters.

Here's how I fit them in this family:
In Madison County, I find the following marriages:
Debus Kilgore md William Clark 8/29/1810
Thomas Kilgore md Jane Patterson 2/11/1813
James Kilgore md Sally Denton 2/24/1814 (She was listed as Sarah in 1850)
Betsy Kilgore md Judah Dodge 7/4/1816
David Kilgore md Elizabeth Clark 11/24/1818
John Kilgore md Jane Hudson 9/14/1820
I am reasonably sure the above are John and Jane's because they were the only Kilgores in Madison County during this timeframe. The 1820 census lists 2 males (16-25) living with Jane, John having already died. I believe one of them was John before he married in September, and I wonder if the other is a Charles who married Betsy Hunt 10/13/1831. None of her grandchildren would have been this old yet. The 1830 census shows a family living with Jane. Jane is not listed on the 1840 census. She was either living with Betsy at this time or had died.

The 1830 Franklin County census shows a Samuel Kilgour. I don't have a clue who he is or if he may even belong to John's family. But the Franklin County marriage records show three marriages in 1821, 1822, and 1826. Maybe these are Samuel's children or maybe more of John's, but I have not found a connection. However, I am not disputing it.

The 1883 History page 769 states the following about Elizabeth's (Betsy's) parents: John Kilgore, a native of Westmoreland County, PA, with his wife Jane and family emigrate to Ohio, and settle in Ross County in 1797; thence, about 1809 the removed to Madison County and settled on Three-Mile Run, about 1 1/2 miles west of Big Darby, where he died soon after. His wife subsequently moved to Union County, where she remained until her death at an advanced age. Page 770 - the following appears about Elizabeth (Betsy): Betsy married Judge Dodge, who died, and she is now a widow residing in Marysville, Union County, Ohio.

John Kilgore, a native of Westmoreland County, Penn. with his wife Jane and his family, emigrated to Ohio and settled in Ross County in 1797 : thence, about 1809, they removed to Madison County and settled on Three-'file Ruin, about one and a half miles west of Big Darby. where he died soon after. His wife subsequently moved to Union County. where she remained till her death at an advanced age. Their children were as follows : Thomas. who was eighteen years of age when they settled in Madison County. and here in 1812 he married Jane Patterson. who was born in Botetourt County. Va.. October 8, 1792, they settled on the place where his son Harvey now resides. and here remained till his death. February 11, 1872, aged eighty-one years. His wife died June 3, 1862.

He was one of the true pioneers. and performed his full share in developing the country and bringing it from its primeval state to its present beautiful condition. He was a man of great moral worth and integrity of character. and had a great influence in molding the general character of the community, both politically and religiously, as during his life he held most of the offices of importance and trust in his township, and religiously had been a devoted member of the Methodist Church from his young manhood, or a period of sixty years. His example before his family and the community, was one worthy of admiration and imitation. And of his consort we may add, she possessed all the many virtues of kindness and religious devotion which rendered her a true helpmeet ; and their lives were a true blessing to their family and community, and have left behind them recollections of esteem and respect not soon to be forgotten.
