My ggggrandfather John Banner Gillespie died in Richland Co., IL and was born in KY around 1825 to John Gillespie and Mary Logan. I believe my John Gillespie was born in KY around 1795. Perhaps my John Gillespie is the son of William Gillespie and Polly McSwain. Would like to see if your information matches my history.
