[Photo on the left is a picture of my 2nd great grandmother, Eleanor Dever Gwin, mother to Signora Belle Gwin, my great grandmother.] - In the Rockbridge History of Virginia there is mention of John Gilmore (1700-1759), my 6th great grandfather, that was killed in an Indian raid 10 October 1759, along with four members of his family and five of the ten members of Robert Hamilton's (my 7th great grandfather) family were afterward slain. The Indians did not go any farther.

The GILMOREs come into my family through the DEVER side of my paternal ancestry with John DEVER (1798-1862), who married Elizabeth GILMORE (1802-1882), daughter of Samuel Gilmore (1760-1848) and Eleanor BAILEY (1758-1832). Samuel Gilmore was a son of James Gilmore (1710-1782) and Martha B. DENNISON (1720-1785). James Gilmore was the son of John and Agnes A. (Hamilton) Gilmore that died in the Indian raid.

John DEVER and Elizabeth Gilmore had a daughter, Eleanor DEVER (1834-1896), my second great grandmother, who married Samuel Gwin (1825-1871). And that brings us to Signora Belle Gwin that married John Robert Warwick (1857-1937).

And that brings us to my paternal McGill-Warwick ancestors, where I found the following information concerning the CRAIG family: genealogical and historical notes about the CRAIGs of America, Fayette county, Ohio, which shows the Craigs and Warwick families marrying with the mention of Andrew Warwick, son of John (or William, Jr. Could this have been William John, and he used the John as his first name?) Warwick of Pocahontas county, West Virginia, married Elizabeth Anna Craig, daughter of Robert Craig 2nd, and Nancy Agnes Johnson. Do not know how accurate this information is but found some known relatives listed in these historical genealogical notes.

If I am reading this correctly, Andrew Warwick and Nancy Agnes Johnson Warwick's third son, John Warwick Esq., resided near Edray, Pocahontas county, West Virginia, and was a prominent and influential citizen. His first wife was Hanna Hanna Moffett, only daughter of Andrew Gatewood. His second wife was Caroline Craig, youngest daughter of George E. Craig, merchant, in Hunersville, and Ruling Elder. [from Southern Historical Mag. for August, 1892, page 65.]

It also shows that Andrew Warwick had a brother William Warwick (my 4th great grandfather), who married Nancy Craig, sister of Elizabeth (wife of Andrew). They settled on Bear Creek and were the parents of three children: Elizabeth (married Benjamin Tallman); Margaret (married John Hull); Robert Craig Warwick (my third great grandfather), who married Esther Hull and had three sons and six daughters. Robert and Esther's daughter Catherine Hidy Warwick married Major William Wallace Bird (Bird children were: Elvira Louisa, Robert Craig, john Henry, George Newton, William Lee). Other daughters were: Nancy Jane (married Jacob Lightner); Sarah Elizabeth (married Daniel Matheney); Margaret Ann (married Nelson Pray); Hanna Rebecca (married Capt. George Siple).
