He married Arcada Elizabeth Stone (daughter of Fountain Stone). Wm. F. Bailey was a Private, Co. K., Allen's Reg., Texas Inf., CSA (Confed. Arch., Chap. 5, File #111, Page 104).

Right: Mary Elizabeth Harper and William Gilmore's children, L to R: Rebecca Ann Gilmore, James Lindsay Gilmore, Sarah Ellen Gilmore, Daniel Taylor Gilmore, and Marinda Jane (Dell Barnes' mother).

Dell asked her grandmother why she had married such an old man (he was 60 and she was 18), and she said that most of the young men had been killed in the War. William Gilmore was a 2nd Lt., Co. H., 1st Reg. Infantry, Kentucky Volunteers, CSA, a pilot on the CSA Ram Arkansas. The Arkansas was lost in the battle of Baton Rougue. Both engines failed and the crew scuttled her to keep her from being captured by the damn yankees. It was a tremendous loss to the Confederate Navy. William died in 1891 leaving Elizabeth with five children under the age of 10. She then remarried Louis Perriraz.
