  Nancy Kilgore Sloan widow of A.M. Sloan Esq.  She said her home, where we were 
  sitting on the front porch was off of the William Jack lands.  She did not 
  know how she was related to the Jacks until I told her that her great great 
  grandmother, the wife of James Kilgore was Elizabeth Jack.  She said her great 
  grandfather, Capt David Kilgore was a very early settler in Westmoreland Co & 
  was in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown, Trenton & Princeton & at Valley 
  Forge, the memorable winter of 1778 1779 & came back home & sold 30 acres off 
  of his farm with a mill on it & used the money to buy shoes & clothes for his 
  suffering company & never asked the Government for reimbursement.  She knew of 
  the 19 sons of her great great grandfather all by the one wife Elizabeth Jack, 
  who survived him.  She spoke of having talked once to a Mr Irvine who s'd he 
  was descended from one of the nineteen sons. She also said a Rev Harry Scott, 
  a Presbyterian minister, who died about 4 yrs ago & whose mother was a 
  daughter of Mrs Sloan's Uncle Jesse Kilgore prepared an exhaustive history of 
  the Kilgores with a family tree which she said she could get trace of through 
  John Kilgore Johnston also a grandson of the same Jesse & who is a busy 
  employee at Tyrone Pa of the PRR Co & would write him & try to get it for me.  
  She said that after the death of his father Scott as a boy went to live with 
  some maiden sisters, two or three at Confulence Pa. She said she had no 
  records of consequence, but was very much interested & wished her son Alex, 
  who went as minister to Honduras in Mch last, could go over it with me. She 
  said Jesse Kilgore of Wilkinsburg, formerly of Indiana Co has her great 
  grandfather David Kilgore's bible with his family record.  He got it from his 
  father Jesse Kilgore who in turn got it from his father Jesse Kilgore to whom 
  it was willed by David Kilgore.
