I can't tell you about Rockbridge, but I have found naturalization records
in other Virginia counties
in the county court records. I actually plan to be at the Library of
Virginia tomorrow, where they
have many of the old county records on microfilm. If there is an index for
the county court
records for Rockbridge I will look for Robert Gilmore and let you know in
the next day or two if
was able to find anything.
