Surnames: Gillespie Gillispie Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/CiY.2ACEB/1329.1 Message Board Post: Linda I have been beating my head against a wall for 3-4 years now trying to find ancestors of Dave and Dolly Gillespie. This is what i know maybe you can help me. I have a very old photo of these 2 people and have always been told that their names are Dave and Dolly Gillespie. Dolly's maiden name was either viars or via and she was a full blooded shawnee indian. The elders in the family think that she came from N.C. sometime and settled in the southwestern part of VA around Giles county. I just came across her daughters marriage certificate and it lists her as being Mary Gillespie and not Dolly so Dolly must have been a nickname or possibly a middle name. I dont have any dates on her but her daughter was born in 1893. if you think there is a possible like please email me. You are welcome to a copy of the picture. Heather
