I just did a quick search of the local history website for Tioga Co. Pa, and nothing showed up under "kilgard". Are you sure of spelling? How about first name, dates of birth/death?

 

[gods country girl]

not sure on the spelling,
first names , birth and death dates would be giving to much info, on a place i haven't had the chance to hunt yet. I am going to be md'ing the property tomorrow night. Keep your fingers crossed i actually find something........lol

 

[jeff of pa]

That Is one I Have no Knowledge of.

Only thing in Tioga I Would like to
find is The Patriot's Lost Cannon Factory on Gore's Mtn.
near Tioga
in a sealed cave, supposedly
still containing several hundred complete cannon and
a fortune since the Revolution.

but unfortunately too far to research fully,
and too wide an area for me.

not to mention it won't be found with a detector.

I have never come across anything about the Kilgard legend, If i do I will let you know.

Jeff,
If you or anyone else are researching the cannons on Gore mountain, I can give you a some important information.
Don't look for this in the present day Tioga, Tioga County.
It is located near Tioga Point, Sayre, Bradford County, Pa.
Back at the time this took place, that was called Tioga.
There is a Gore mountain and a Gore Hotel there.
They were named after the Gore family who lived there.
I did a lot of research on this, but never went to the sight.
There is a lot of history there.
Later, Clayton

Clayton,
Thanks for the tip on Gore Mtn.--Sayre is in Bradford County, not Tioga, which makes a big difference. Jeff has me intrigued with that story, so I guess I'll be trying to research that.

I checked the books that I have and there was no mention of this one. Good luck with your search. Hope you find silver and gold.

 

[jeff of pa]

Nothing from My research Either. I Checked both PA & Upstate N.Y. Only Mentions of Gore Mountain I can find says the Name
was used as a Ski Resort in the 1930's .
No news reports on a Cannon Cave .

There May be a Correct one or 2 in there, But Nothing in the General Area and too Time consuming to check 476 news stories for one Subject
