Hi June: From the "Day Book of Daniel Campbell of Shawfield 1767" ISBN 0-08-040933-4 There was a Neil Gillaspie with wife Mary McIlpheder and sons Gilbert and Angus who sailed from Islay Scotland in June 1739 to the New York Colony (the Argyle Patent).. In a list probably prepared in 1763, it listed both Neil and Mary as living, with one daughter. There was no listing of the sons. In a photo book called "Old Islay" there is a photo of a Neil Gillespie who was a driver of a Royal Mail Ford van , carrying both mail and passengers. My guess, from the van, is that the photo was taken around 1920. You might want to look at the website for the Islay mailing list, there is a lot of information posted there. Good luck.
