Another query, another big success! Many, many thanks to everyone who took time to help me. The Civil War maps along with those from Topozone pretty much convince me that "Capt. Gilmore" is Thomas R. Gilmore, last owner of Sidney Vale to live and work on the land. Hopefully, by the time my cousin gets to Rockbridge Co. on his next genealogy field-trip, I'll have driving directions that will take him there.
