Hi Dave, I read your BROWN Family Reunion notice with interest. How do your BROWN and GILLESPIE families tie together? Also where do they come from. The reason I am asking is that my direct BROWN line is from Abel BROWN who married Lydia STUCKEY. And several of his descendants married into the GILLESPIE. Abel came to Belmont co., Ohio around 1805 as he is listed in the tax list. He came from Maryland with he was born 1768. Some of their children were born in Fort Henry, Ohio co., (W) Virginia, the rest were born in Belmont co., Ohio. George
