James Gilmore's birthplace is NOT documented, but thought to be at/near Hiram, Oxford County, Maine. That said, at that time, i.e. before the Revolutionary War, what is now the state of Maine was actually a part of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Maine became an independent state about 1820 as part of the Missouri Compromise.
