Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/CiY.2ACEB/1335.1.2.1 Message Board Post: The possible children of Thomas and Hannah Gillespie that I listed in the first message are possible only because they fit the census data. I need the 1850 census, this should show all of Thomas and Hannah's children before they married. But Thomas and Hannah are not in Le Ray or Clayton (I have checked every family in those 2 towns). I'm beginning to suspect they are in the 1851 Ontario census. You are right, all the information about Margaret I got was from your messages. She does fit the 1840 census data, and your information shows she was married in 1855 Clayton: Thomas and Hannah Gillaspie are the only Gillespies/Gillaspies in 1860 Clayton, so there is a high probability they are her folks. There are a few more clues: Thomas Gillaspie in the 1840 Le Ray census is the only Gillespie/Gillaspie in Jefferson Co., NY in 1840 (according to the ancestry.com index). The only Gillespies in 1850 Jefferson Co., NY appear to be (from ancestry.com index) in Lyme: David Gillespie b.1796 NY and his family. Catherine Eliza Gillespie Brown is living in 1860 Clayton, Jefferson, NY with husband Alvin Brown and their first child, Margaret(2)b.NY, possibly named after her sister. The rest of the information I have is about the Browns. JT

My grandfather John William Wiseman died Oct. 21, 1965 and appearing in the local newspaper a Note of Thanks dated March 19, 1966, mentions a Mr. and Mrs. Edward Gillespie of Stephenville, Nfld, and a Mr. James Gillespie of New York. If you have any of these names in your research we might be able to share some info. Hoping to hear from you!

I am looking for information about Elizabeth Gillespie who married Moses Wallace. Moses was born 1788 in WA Co. PA and died 1818 in WA Co. PA. Thank you, Ginny Agnew __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? All your favorites on one personal page � Try My Yahoo! http://my.yahoo.com

Notes for SARAH WILLIAMS GILLESPIE: I have a medical history of all her family written by her brother Franklin, who was a doctor in the Army Medical Corps. He says she was born in 1821, was a governess in early life, married at 30, had two sons and two daughters. She was 5ft 5ins, had dark brown hair and brown eyes. She was the tallest and most elegant of the girls, dark skinned with some colour. Her nose was rather flat on the bridge. She had moderate myopia. Her intellect was very with considerable mental energy and power, highly cultured and self reliant. A most amiable and good disposition and qualities well balanced. Not bilious.(a lot of them were). She painted, played and sang very well and had facility in acquiring languages. Gillespie Sir Henry Newbolt 1862 - 1938 Riding at dawn, riding alone; Gillespie left the town behind; Before he turned down the Westward road A horseman crossed him, staggering blind. "The Devil's abroad in false Vellore, The Devil that stabs by night," he said, "Women and children, rank and file, Dying and dead, dying and dead." Without a word, without a groan, Sudden and swift Gillespie turned, The blood roared in his ears like fire, Like fire the road beneath him burned. He thundered back to Arcot gate, He thundered up through Arcot town, Before he thought a second thought In the barrack yard he lighted down. "Trumpeter, sound for the Light Dragoons, Sound to saddle and spur, " he said; "He that is ready may ride with me, And he that can may ride ahead." Fierce and fain, fierce and fain, Behind him went the troopers grim, They road as ride the Light Dragoons,. But never a man could ride with him. Their rowels ripped their horses' sides, Their hearts with red with a deeper goad, But ever alone before them all Gillespie rode, Gillespie rode. Alone he came to false Vellore, The walls were bare, the gates were barred; Alone he walked where the bullets bit, And called above to the Sergeant's Guard. "Sergeant, Sergeant, open the gate, Where are your officers all?" he said; Heavily came the Sergeant's voice "There are two living, and forty dead." "A rope, a rope," Gillespie cried: They bound their belts to serve his need; There was not a rebel behind the wall But laid his barrel and drew his bead. There was not a rebel among them all But pulled his trigger and cursed his aim, For lightly swung and rightly swung Over the gate Gillespie came. He dressed the line, he lead the charge, They swept the wall like a stream in spate, And roaring over the roar they heard The galloper guns that burst the gate. Fierce and fain, fierce and fain, The troopers rode the reeking flight: The very stones remember still The end of them that stab by night. They've kept the tale a hundred years, They'll keep the tale a hundred more: Riding at dawn, riding alone, Gillespie came to false Vellore.

Quick tempered, over sanguine, not able to weigh difficulties, with very considerable energy. A flighty, shallow minded, inconsiderate man but a good arithmatician. Has been a complete failure in life. Married in America a woman of Irish descent and has 3 children." Franklin obviously believed in being honest.

BILL, LAVERNE ROBERT, JACK, DON, & BETTY. THEY WOULD ALL BE IN THEIR 70'S & 80'S NOW. EVER HEAR OF THEM?

Just came across these dates in Alexander Dumars Gillespie's journal. Alexander Dumars Gillespie - born 10 October 1822 David Gillespie born 10 April 1825 Sarah Gillespie born 19 May 1828 Thomas Gillespie Born April 30, 1838 This is a list of his siblings. They lived at Big Bend on the Shenango River, outside Greenville, Pennsylvania. The farm is now under a large dam. Does anyone know who Sarah married ? Thomas was named after his grandfather, Thomas, whose stone says he was born 1799 in Donegal and moved to Big Bend, Mercer County 1806. His large tombstone (in four pieces) is in the Bigler Cemetary on Mercer Road outside Greenville. A. D. was a successful lawyer who had attended Allegheny College (Meadville, Pa.) for two years and then a college/univ. in Canada (sorry that the name slips my mind - could be St. Michael's) One of his sons, Eugene Pierce Gillespie, Atty., was a Congressman who is buried in the Shenango Valley Cemetary in Greenville ( Pa.) on top of the first hill on the left after you enter the cemetary. Other family members are buried there - sorry I do not have a list of them. Will list them when I next get to town, but it may be months (we are 200 miles away in Columbus, Ohio). During the Civil War, farm labor was scarce and cattle prices were low in that area (he had a large number of cattle). He writes that one son, Alfred, wanted to go to California so he raised the money and sent him. Does anyone know of Alfred and his line ? I have nothing on him. I know that E.P. paid $300 to another man to take his place in the army, but don't know about the others. Three hundred dollars would pay off a lot of farm debt for whoever was devoted enough to their family to go in his stead ! I hope they didn't rue the day ! Thanks to all the family members who put their info in this website - it is fascinating and very helpful !
