Jean-Baptiste Wilmore was the fifth of five children of Cleophas Dufour (1852-abt. 1890) and Caroline Tassin (1858-1934). He was baptized at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Moreauville LA by Rev. P. E. Simon on Aug. 17, 1889; his sponsors were Landry Coco and Hirma Normand (Baptism Book I line 144). [Note: Wilmore's WWI Draft Registration card gives his birth year, apparently in error, as 1888.]

Wilmore's full siblings were Jules (1876-UNK), Maria Alida (1878-1913), Annie Lou (1881-1941) and Marie Aline (1883-1952). He had four half-siblings from his mother's second marriage, to Stephen Edward Segrue (1858-1901): Thomas Arthur (1894-1966), Edna Florence (1897-1982), Marie Anne (1899-1899), and Lescietta Mary (1900-1989).

On 16 Feb. 1916, Wilmore married Lena Couvillon (1892-1984). The couple had nine children between 1915 and 1933: Ann, Paul Willis, Pearl May, Joseph Hemily, Marie Leila, Kirby Pierre, Jean-Pierre (called John), Gertrude Minnie, and Sybil Josephine. Their last child, Sybil, is buried with her parents.
