Claud Gillespie - --------------------------- >From [email protected] To JD: An absorbing book on California is Ferol Egan's "Fremont, Explorer for a Restless Nation". My copy was published in 1985 by the University of Nevada Press. Quoting, from page 325, regarding relationship of Fremont, Lassen & Sutter: "Three days later, {on March 30, 1846, after Fremont's party had left Gabilan Peak or Fremont Peak following their bloodless encounter with General Jose Castro} they reached Deer Creek and the ranch of Peter Lassen of Denmark. (3) Here, between present day Chico and Red Bluff, Lassen had built a smaller version of Sutter's empire....Lassen's Bosquejo Ranch consisted of twenty-two thousand acres of upper Sacramento Valley land, and John Charles was greatly impressed by what he saw at this outpost. Lassen and Fremont took a liking to each other, and the explorer was invited to be a guest for as long as he wished. The Dane was so impressed by the explorer that he later named a settlement (now a ghost town) Benton City in honor of Senator Thomas Hart Benton {Fremont's father-in-law}. "....The stay at Peter Lassen's came to an end on April 24, 1846. John Charles thanked the Dane for his hospitality, said farewell, and struck north toward the Cascade Mountains and Oregon....(On) March 8...Sam Neil...and Levi Sigler, who had been at Sutter's Fort...told Fremont they had covered almost a hundred miles during the last two days to overhaul the expedition....to let him know there was a young military officer named Gillespie about a long day's ride behind him...(who) had important messages from the government to deliver to the captain {Fremont}." From p. 328: "Lieutenant Archibald H. Gillespie, United States Marine Corps, was determined and resolute. He was not an ordinary officer. Handsome, resourceful, brave, and very fluent in Spanish, thirty-three-year-old Gillespie possessed the kind of courage and self-pride needed for his task as a courier to carry messages from President Polk, Secretary of State Buchanan, Secretary of the Navy Bancroft, and Senator Benton to Captain Fremont." Goes on to tell how Gillespie & Lassen were camped on the banks of the Klamath River waiting when Neil & Sigler returned with Fremont. "Gillespie had no way of knowing that on this May 9, 1846, General Zachary Taylor's troops were fighting and dying in the Battle of Resaca de la Palma, the second major encounter of the Mexican War in two days....The messages he had memorized and destroyed were outdated...." From p. 335: "By May 24, 1846, the men were back to Peter Lassen's Deer Creek ranch....At Lassen's they learned that General Jose Castro had issued another proclamation on April 17. He ordered all noncitizens out of california, and expressed his determination to put a stop to any further entrance of emigrants from the United States." Footnote (3): (From p. 540) "Peter Lassen came to the United States from Denmark in 1819. In 1839 he came to Oregon. During the summer of 1840 he sailed aboard the Lausanne to Bodega, California. From there he hiked inland to Sutter's Fort. In 1840-41 he worked as a blacksmith for Sutter. Then he tried a succession of ventures: operating a sawmill near Santa Cruz, being a professional hunter and trail blazer, owning a steamboat, ranching and mining. The latter was his downfall, as he joined the silver rush to Utah Territory and in 1859 was killed by whites or Indians at Black Rock Canyon, northeast of Pyramid Lake." While this doesn't answer your question (& I don't know who came with Lassen on the Oregon Trail), it does speak to the relationships, and timing of the relationships, of these men. This book is well-documented with Bibliographic Essay. --Sheila P. In a message dated 3/12/99 9:43:25 AM Pacific Standard Time, [email protected] writes: << Just as a casual question, does anyone happen to know the party names with Peter Lassen on his initial Oregon trail? It strikes me that he, and Sutter both made the same trip that year, and J.Fremont always seems to be somewhere near? Any chance they embarked to the west in one group, and evolved a plan enroute? That they all seem to be well acquainted is no surprise in the numbers of Californians at that time, I wonder how early they may have been co-planners? (thoughts from reading Hutchings) --JD - ------------------------------- >From "Michael F. McCartney" <[email protected]> To Julian lea-jones <[email protected]> On 19 Mar 99 at 13:10, [email protected] wrote: According to my small book of "the Scottish tartans", The Gillespie is connected to the MacDonalds and although no separate Tartan is identified, the book says that they are entitled to wear the Macdonald tartan.. Under MacDonald i have six listed, all different. (snip) regards, Julian Lea-Jones. ______________________________ THe subject of clan names/septs and tartans is a bit removed from Dumphries & Galloway, but a few comments may be relevant: (1) Those lists of "septs" of the major Highland clans merely indicate that at some point, someone named e.g. Gillespie was a tenant, servant, or other follower of the chief of e.g. MacDonald. It doesn't mean that everyone named Gillespie is descended from a real-life historical follower of the MacDonalds. Its fun to wear the badge & tartan necktie at the annual Highland Games, but don't take it too seriously - unless you actually have done the research which proves an actual genealogical connection. (2) If you do research your family history (your own blood ancestors, generation by generation, not some quickie "surname history") you may find a connection with the chiefly MacDonalds - or maybe some other, separate "clan" name - or, likely, no clan connection at all (tho' its still fun to pretend!). (3) If your family of Gillespie actually came from Dumfries & Galloway, the "clan" connection (assuming any connection at all) would more likely be to Maxwell, or maybe Gordon of Lockinvar, or some other notable family in that area; MacDonalds could be found all over Scotland, I'm sure, but I'm aware of no "landed" or especially prominent ("chiefly") MacDonald in the D&G area. Hope this helps! Michael F. McCartney Fremont, California <[email protected]> or <[email protected]> ----------- From [email protected] Hi everybody! I thought I'd just forge ahead and ask about my Allen ancestor, as I know next to nothing about her, and maybe one of you knows more:) Here goes: Jane Allen: Born 6/15/1739 in Scotland. Married George Gillespie, not sure when, or if in Scotland, Ireland or America. George was from Tyrone, Antrim County, Northern Ireland. At some point, they came to America, first in Washington Co., PA, and later in Warren Co., Ohio. One of their children (I don't know anything about any others) was William Gillespie, who was married to a Mary Miskimmens. The descendent Gillespies eventually ended up in western Ohio, in Shelby Co. (Sidney). Jane Allen Gillespie died 9/7/1814, apparently in Warren Co.. If anyone has any information on Jane's ancestors, or any other children of Jane and George Gillespie, I'd very much appreciate learning it! Thanks much, Patty Jurkiewicz

His name wes Andrew Gillespie and his mothers name was Elizabeth Kelly. I imagine that he would have been born about 1800 as their first daughter Robina was born in Borgue in 1826. I have been able to get some information from the GRO. If anyone is researching this family I would be able to help with the Australian side as my GGrandfather Samuel Smith gillespie came to Australia in 1862. Thank you for reading this.

It's time I submit what little I have on my Gillespies- James Gillespie born NC abt 1819. married "Eliza" from KY children- William Edward b. July 21, 1845 Payson, Adams Co, IL m. Altha Ann Childers 1869 Adams Co IL d. June 15, 1900 Quincy, Adams Co IL Arabelle(?) abt 1847 Payson(?), Adams Co, IL Charles W. born Payson(?), Adams Co, IL abt 1849 Henry born Payson(?), Adams Co, IL abt 1850 George born IL abt 1851 Samuel born IL abt1852 d. in Calif. Jennie born IL abt 1866 I am a descendant of William Edward. Much of his family came to the Pacific Northwest. I believe that Samuel's family should be in California. As far as the rest of the male Gillespies, I believed that they stayed in IL, but have no proof at this point. I think that Jennie married a Dillon and lived in the Chicago area. Arabelle married a McCrellais and stayed in Quincy, IL. Hopefully this may shake up someone tree! Thanks so much [email protected]
