KILLGORE
Robert Killgore was born 11 June 1772 in Ireland of Scotch ancestry and sailed from Londonderry, Ireland, 14 June 1791. These dates are recorded in the Killgore bible. He perhaps came with other family members and a William Killgore was believed to be his father or brother. In the General Index to the Laws of the State of New York 1866, William Kilgore was an alien authorized and allowed to purchase and hold real estate in 1801. This William Kilgore is not found in the 1800 New York state census index. He is perhaps the same William Killgore who died 9 Oct 1810 recorded in the Killgore bible. Six years after Robert's arrival in America he was living in the Minisink country, an area on the Delaware River in Sussex County, New Jersey. This area had at an early date been settled by a number of Scotch-Irish families, but the predominant families were of Dutch extraction. It was in the Minisink region that Robert married 1 August 1797 Rachel Hasbrouck Kyte born 31 Aug 1778 Sussex County, New Jersey daughter of Thomas Kyte and Leah Keator. Through her mother, Rachel was descended from many of the early and prominent Dutch families who settled in New Amsterdam in the 1600's. Of Thomas Kyte, I can say nothing of his nationality, though it is believed he was one of those Scotch Irishmen who came before the Revolutionary War and with a certificate from the church of Rochester, Ulster County, New York proceeded to teach school in the Minisink area where are recorded the births and baptisms of his six children. Rachel Kyte was baptized 1 November 1780, John Hasbrouck and Mary Hasbrouck, witnesses. For further details of the Kyte family, see the Wantage Recorder newspaper, commencing March 12,1937 and Old Dutch Records of Machackemeck by J. B. Teneyck.
The two eldest children of Robert and Rachel Killgore are recorded in the Minisink Dutch Reformed Church baptismal records. On 10 May 1804, Robert Killgore purchased land in Wantage township, Sussex County, New Jersey. Three of their children are recorded in the Clove Dutch Reformed Church baptismal records in Wantage township. Robert became a man of prominence in Wantage and bore the title of Esquire. He bought and sold several more parcels of land in Wantage. A final deed, dated 1 April 1835 in which Robert Killgore, and wife, Rachel, sold two parcels of land, 48 acres and 26 acres to their son, William C. Killgore, and land of less than 1 acre to Harvey Howell. Robert and Rachel Killgore removed from Wantage to Wells township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania perhaps in 1835 when their land was sold in New Jersey and presumably with son, John Killgore and family. Daughter Anna Gustin and family had settled in Wells in 1833. Their son, John and his wife became members of the Presbyterian Church of Wells and Columbia (now Coryland Presbyterian Church) situated in southern Wells township in 1838, but there is no record of Robert and Rachel becoming members of this church though they were later buried in the churchyard cemetery. Removed to neighboring Columbia township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania and located on a farm on Gernert Hill between Sylvania and Austinville. Robert purchased the farm of 60 acres in May 1841 and sold the farm in July 1844 to son, John H. Killgore. Robert and Rachel's daughter, Eliza Dunning and her family arrived in neighboring South Creek township in 1837 from Fleming, Cayuga County, New York. Then their son, William followed from Wantage, New Jersey and arrived in Wells township in 1839 with his family. Daughter, Polly Holly and her family arrived from Wantage to Wells township in the early 1840's. Before Robert's death in 1848, five of his children were living in Bradford County and after his death, Phebe Struble and her family arrived from Wantage, New Jersey to Wells township and the last to arrive was daughter, Harriet Fuller and her family who resided in nearby Caton, Steuben County, New York.
Robert was assessed for the following in Columbia Township in the years
indicated:

Eben was perhaps b. in Orange County, New York. They removed soon after their marriage to the town of Fleming, Cayuga County, New York. Abraham's father d. there 19 Oct 1834 65y 8m 13d and his mother had d. there earlier, 25 Aug 1821 47y buried Fleming Hill Cemetery. Eben had evidently returned to Sussex County, New Jersey from Cayuga County, New York before his marriage. Eben and Eliza sold land in Jan 1836 and Nov 1836 in Fleming and removed the following year in 1837 to South Creek township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania. Several parcels of land in Fleming sold in June and July 1839 after their removal to South Creek. Eben built a sawmill and conducted extensive lumbering manufacturing operations. The railroad had a depot near their residence, which was called the Dunning station. Eben owned considerable real estate as did also, Eliza in her own name.
Eben d. 8 Aug 1879 South Creek, intestate. The 1880 mortality schedule for South Creek relates he died in March of old age, age 79, 53 years in county. Evidently some confusion as to his date of death as the month of his birth was incorrectly given, instead of the month of his death. Bradford Argus, Towanda, Pennsylvania, August 28, 1879 confirms date of death as Aug 8. Eliza Jane granted administration of estate. Will of Eliza Jane Dunning dated 27 Mar 1889. Son, David F.; Lydia Killgore, wife of William C. Killgore; grandsons, Louden B., Joseph, and David Roy Dunning; granddaughter, Frank wife of George Wilson, named in Will.

Dann charged Robert with bigamy for having two wives at one time (Criminal Court Index, Quarter Session #4 Feb 1883) and a warrant was issued for Robert's arrest 27 Dec 1882. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania arrested Robert for bigamy and he pleaded not guilty. Brother, Raymond posted $500 bond required until the hearing on the first Monday of February 1883. Jury found Robert insane since Apr 1882 and committed him to the custody of his brother, Raymond who was given ten days to take Robert to the asylum at Danville, Montour County, Pennsylvania.
The following article appeared in a Troy newspaper.
Attempt at Poisoning. Some months ago, Robert Kilgore, of Sylvania,
who had a short time before returned from Nebraska, married
Sarah A. Dann. He had buried his wife, a woman whom he had
married at Arnot, while living in Nebraska. It seems that some time before
this he had married Belle Keyes, of Sylvania, but a separation
had been arranged between them. On his marriage to Sarah Dann
he was arrested for bigamy, but a committee in lunacy was appointed on
his case and he was declared insane and sent to the asylum
at Danville, about two weeks ago. Last Saturday, Sarah A. Dann, the
daughter of Jas. Dann, who was married to Kilgore, but who has been living
at home since he was declared insane, came to Troy and
purchased ten cents worth of strychnine at Capt. B. B. Mitchell's
store, enough to kill half a dozen persons. On Sunday, while at the breakfast
table, Mr. Dann noticed that some tea which had been
poured for him had a milky look, and said at once, "Sarah you have put
milk in my tea. You know I don't like it." Some words ensued and he tasted
of the tea, and found it bitter enough to demand an explanation.
On searching the table, a paper was found containing a
white powder labeled poison. When threatened and questioned, Sarah admitted
her guilt, and said that she had procured the poison
at Stuart Bros., intending to kill her father. Inquiry revealed where
she procured the deadly drug. The case suggests that somebody needs very
severe punishment, also that our drug stores should be
more careful about letting such deadly articles go to irresponsible
persons (Troy newspaper, Troy, Pennsylvania, Feb 1883).
Robert's father wrote a letter to Judge Morrow dated 9 July 1883, requesting that Robert be allowed to live with him, the doctors at the hospital feeling it would be beneficial for Robert to do so. The judge allowed Robert to return to Columbia township.
Isaac A. Killgore petitioned the Buffalo County, Nebraska probate court that he was a minor child of fourteen years of Belle Killgore and Robert Killgore, both now insane and incompetent to transact business, late of Buffalo County, and he desires John Mahon as guardian. Signed 14 Feb 1882 by Isaac A. Killgore. John Mahon also petitioned court for guardianship of John and Anna Killgore, residents of Buffalo County, minor children under fourteen years of Jane Killgore, deceased, late of Buffalo County, and Robert Killgore, now insane and unable to transact business. Signed 14 Feb 1882 by John Mahon.
John Mahon had married Harriet Killgore, Robert Killgore's sister and they had also removed to the site of Kearney, Nebraska. On 19 Apr 1882 John Mahon relinquished guardianship back to Robert Killgore. Robert granted William H. Killgore, his brother, of Kearney Junction, Buffalo County, Nebraska, power of attorney to take charge of his real estate situated in Buffalo County, 22 Feb 1884. On 8 Apr 1884 Robert Killgore, single, of Bradford County, Pennsylvania conveyed to Joseph Young of Buffalo County, Nebraska, land of 80 acres in Buffalo County. These records would seem to indicate that Robert did not remain for very long in the insane asylum and returned to Columbia township.
Isabelle became a resident of the Warren Asylum (now the Warren State Hospital) at Warren, Warren County, Pennsylvania, 18 Oct 1881, which opened in 1880. From there she was admitted to the Bradford County Home in West Burlington, Bradford County, 8 Jan 1897.

SUDDEN DEATH OF WILLIAM H. KILGORE
Stricken Friday While Directing Work at His Home.
William H. Kilgore expired suddenly at his home on the large
island southeast of this city about five o'clock Friday
afternoon. Deceased had apparently been in his usual health and had been
to Kearney the day before. Just prior to his death he
had been out to the barn giving the men in his employ some
directions in regard to the work. He turned and walked to the house and
as he mounted the steps to the porch the men heard him
utter a cry. They looked in time to seem him throw up his hands and
fall. Hurrying to the stricken man they were horrified to find him quite
dead. He was picked up and carried into the house and
Dr. Packard hastily summoned. He found Mr. Kilgore beyond human aid,
however, and his brother who lives in this city, was at once notified.
Deceased has long suffered from rheumatic ailment and
it is supposed this acting upon his heart is what caused death. William
H. Kilgore was one of the pioneers of this region, coming
here from Pennsylvania in 1872. He settled on a farm
on Wood river, northeast of the city, where he resided for some time. Later
he purchased land on the island to which he removed.
To this he added by purchase from time to time until at the time
of his death he was the owner of about fifteen hundred acres of the most
fertile and valuable land in this section. In farming
and in other business matters he was uniformly successful and besides his
land his estate consists of fine stock and other personal property, the
whole being of large value. Deceased was a man of modest
demeanor and quiet habits and was possessed of a large circle of
friends. He leaves a wife but no children. The war record of deceased was
not only honorable but brilliant. He served for four
years in a Pennsylvania regiment in the army of the Potomac, being a
lieutenant of artillery. Numerous acts of gallantry are credited to him
and his old captain some time ago wrote a history of
his army career for the organ of the G.A.R. in which he paid him a high
tribute. Funeral services will be held at the Presbyterian church Monday
afternoon at half past two o'clock (Kearney Daily Hub,
Kearney, Nebraska, Saturday, April 12, 1905).
