This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: GILLESPIE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CiY.2ACEB/1428 Message Board Post: I am trying desperately to find the missing links starting with Matthew Gillespie....I have seen posts of his lineage on these boards and all of the information seems to fit in with what I have as my Gillespie line but there are a few holes. I am only just now getting some of the Gillespie men's wives and other children's information together but this is what I have, to my knowledge it is all accurate. Please let me know if we have a link and if you can help me fill in some gaps or if I can help you out in any way! Thanks!!! ~Stephanie _________________________________________________ Matthew Gillespie, Sr. son: Matthew, Jr. Matthew had James, James had Hugh, Hugh had David, David had John Calhoun Gillespie, John had William Alfred Gillespie and William was my great grandfather (his daughter, Mary Elizabeth, my grandmother). So as you can see those are the only names I have, I've found some info here that stops around James and branches out another way; I know they started out in PA and scattered around the Carolinas and VA. My lilne ends here in Alabama. I would love to know where Matthew Sr. came from in Ireland though, it seems northern Ireland is a likely spot from the other information I've found online. Any info is appreciated, please email me! :-)
