When I posted the pension application for David Gillespie, note that he mentioned Alexander McCorkle as knowing that David served in the Rev. War. In trying to find out about McCorkle, I found the following misc. info from a researcher. I'm pretty sure the Alexander we are speaking of is the one that lived 1782-1825. Notice that his father was Samuel Eusebius McCorkle that was called to preach at Thyatira. Samuel married Margaret Elizabeth Gillespie. Coincidence? I'd love to hear comments. Does anyone know who Margaret Elizabeth belonged too?

The first settlements made in that neighborhood were made about 1790. Pioneer settlers were William and Thomas JORDAN, Henry RIDLEY, James SHEPARD, Robert DONALDSON, James NEAL, Daniel SCALES, Ab SCALES, John GUY, Robert WILSON, James GILLESPIE, Joe CARSON, ___ BURGESS, George and Robert WHITE. The Missionary Baptist Church was organized one and one-half miles north of Eagleville November 7, 1839, by Rushing James KEAL and John LANDRUM. The first members were Thomas and Sophia JORDAN, Elizabeth WILLIAMS, Josiah JOHNSON, Drury BENNETT, William CULLOM, Robert and Nancy PALMER, John and Rhoda HAZELWOOD. It was then called Harpeth Baptist Church, but on removal to Eagleville, in about 1866, it was called Eagleville Baptist Church. Eagleville Lodge, No. 17, I. O. O. F., was organized May 20, 1846. The charter members were John NUNN, William NUNN, Samuel RANKIN, Thomas W. MAXFIELD, S. S. MORGAN, Thomas CHEATHAM, Thomas MOORE and William TAYLOR. Business: Charles WILLIAMS sold the first goods in the place in 1832. His old stand is now occupied by his sons, J. C. & R. E. WILLIAMS. R. S. BROWN has also sold goods for a number of years. Other branches of business are a drug store, cabinet shop, machine shop, tobacco factory, flouring mill, two blacksmith shops, livery stables and a boot and shoe shop. The school, now under Prof. G. M. SAVAGE, was chartered several years ago. It employs seven teachers, and the curriculum embraces the entire course of mathematics, natural sciences, English, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, French, German and Anglo-Saxon languages, metaphysics, logic, music and art. This school is furnished with a commodious boarding house for girls, and a row of ten rooms for boys, beside the family buildings. The school building has eight rooms besides the chapel.

Below you will find the contents of David Gillespie's pension file. One is the file of his wife Mary in 1853 and the other is David's original application in 1834. I have tried to keep the spelling and punctuation marks as they were. Anything in parentheses with "ldt", are my notes or comments and not part of the original document. I'm still working on those ???'s. Beginning of documents __________________________________________________________ Dear Sir, Enclosed I send you the proof in regard to my marriage. In your letter of the 26th Sept last you wrote to me to let you know whether Thomas Gillespie & James Gillespie left any children. In answer to that I will say that Thomas Gillespie who was a revolutionary soldier has no living relatives, he was the Father of my husband David Gillespie. James Gillespies children I know nothing about. Thomas Gillespie has a number of grand children in the county. Isaac Gillespie was a revolutionary soldier and I want you to search the records and see if ???? is. His wife is dead but has children living in this county and if they can draw anything they will endeavor to do so, and if they can write to me. Please let me hear from you soon, as I am anxious to learn the result of my pension. Yours Truly Mary Gillespie PS. Isaac Gillespie was a brother of my husband David Gillespie and I expect was in the same regiment and company.

April term A.D. On this 8 day of July A.D. 1834 personally appeared before us Thomas Pro???, John Hughes & Gilbert M??? Justices of the court of pleas and quarter session held for the County of Williamson in the State of Tennessee, David Gilispie aged 70 years a resident of said county and state who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the benefit of (ldt-repeated) the provisions of an act of congress of congress (ldt-repeated) passed 7th June A.D. 1832 that he entered service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated. I was born in Rowan County (N.Carolina) in the year 1763 where I lived during the revolution. My father Thomas Gillespie was a commissary under Gen. Rutherford and engaged me in driving a waggon loaded with stores and provisions for the army. I first drove from Rowan and Iredell Counties down to Salisby in the year 1780 commencing a short time before gates defeat at Camden. I halled two loads from Col. Loss??? Mill to Charlotte in Mecklinburgh County about 50 miles. I continued haling for two years at least without intermission. My being engaged in the halling of provisions exempted me from service. I was drafted at the order of Gen. Rutherford released from service, I lived after the war (ldt-small piece missing) Rowan until I was about 50 years of age when I moved to the State of Tennessee Williamson County where I now live and have been living ever since. I have no record of my age it having been destroyed by time. I know of no person except Alexander McCorkle whose certificate I have procured and appended it hereto, and David Dobins of Maury County who can prove the same?? is McCorkle who lives in Henry County in the district about 100 miles of this place. I was attached to a company under Capt. Cowan during the whole term of two years. There were with the troops when I served Col. Frank Locke and Gen. Rutherford. I can refer to John Allison Esgn, Robert Davis, Isaack Jones, Moses Steele, Levin Oglesby and Bird S. Hurt for my character for veracity and their belief of my services in the revolution. I can refer also Mark L. Andrews, David Christmon, Moses Steele who can testify to my character for veracity and their belief of my services in the revolution. I have no documents except the certificate of Alexander McCorkle and Dobbins (ldt-and Dobbins inserted) who died in two days after he gave it. I hereby relinquish every claim to a pension or annuity whatever except the present and declare my name is not on the pension roll of any agency in any state. David Gillespie Sworn to in open court 8 July 1834 Signature ???? We Robert Davis a clergyman resident in the County of Williamson and State of Tennessee and John Allison also a resident of said county do hereby certify that we are well aquantited with David Gillespie who has subscribed and (ldt-torn off, probably sworn) to the above declaration that we believe him (ldt-torn off, probably to be) in his 70th year of age, that he is respected and believed??? in the neighbor hood where he resides to have been in the service of the United States in the Revolution and that we concur in that opinion. Robert Davis John Allison Sworn to in open Court 8 July 1834 Signature ????? ______________________________________________________________________ End of documents A couple of items that I thought of interest. Notice when General Gates was mentioned, nothing of his rank was mentioned, and his name is with a small g, unlike that used in the name Gillespie. In the battle at Camden mentioned, the American troops were beaten badly and Gen. Gates was accused of cowardliness, and shortly afterwards replaced as commander in the South. Gen. Rutherford was captured during this battle. Also, Col Frank Locke is Francis Locke. Col. Locke led approximately 400 American Militia from Rowan, Burke and Lincoln Counties against over 1000 Tories at Ramsour's Mill in June 1780. Other familiar officers names involved were Col. William Brandon and Maj. Joseph McDowell. The 400 American's soundly defeated the Tories but in doing so lost about 170 dead or wounded. One of those killed in the battle was Ninian Steele, the husband of Agnes Graham Steele and sister of Mary Graham Gillespie and Jane Graham Gillespie. It is likely that some of our other ancestors were also involved. If anyone should find any errors or additions to the above, please let me know. Thanks Larry Thomas Stanton, MO Larry

I have only found Henry listed on the 1870 and 1880 census in Cambria Boro and Prospect Boro. Henry also may have had a sister, Mary b. abt 1840 and married to James Conner. Church records list they were godparents for each others children. Any information on either of these families would be greatly appreciated. Donna [email protected]
