About Rev. Robert Gilmore, I
ROBERT GILMORE
Genealogy
Find A Grave Memorial: Robert Gilmore
The early Gilmore family that came to America was from Coleraine, Londonderry Co. Northern Ireland, from which was part of the Bann River Valley where they settled during the Plantation of Ulster. Coleraine takes its name from the Irish meaning “ferry corner”. It straddles the Bann River and the county boundaries of Antrim and Londonderry. On the east bank is the main town square. Thus, the modern existence of Coleraine owes its existence to the companies of the city of London, who colonized Londonderry Co., Northern Ireland as part of the 17th Century Plantation of Ulster.
Robert Gilmore and his wife, Mary Ann Kennedy, along with the rest of the Gilmore family came on the ship, “Brigantine Robert” on 4 August 1718. He married Mary Ann Kennedy born 1673 in Coleraine, Londonderry Northern Ireland. She died 1730 in Londonderry, Rockingham Co. New Hampshire. She is probably buried in the Forest Hill Cemetery, although there hasn't been and grave marker found for her?
In 1718, the people embarked in five ships set sail and arrived in Boston on August 4, 1718. The ship “Brigantine Robert” commanded by James Ferguson and landed at Boston, Massachusetts. Sixteen of these families sailed to Casco Bay to claim a tract of land but were frozen in Casco Bay by early winter weather. They suffered greatly from lack of shelter and food. However, by spring of 1719, the ice broke away and they journeyed to their final destination.
