I found it at the Library of Congress and it was a wealth of information on the many families of Blount Co. It was such a great book, that I wanted a copy of it, but I was too late as it had sold out. So, to those who have Gillespy/Gillespie roots in Blount Co., I have 2 questions ... 1. Does anyone have a copy they would like to sell? 2. Would anyone be interested in seeing the book reprinted? If so, I contacted County Heritage and they said they need 75 people interested in order to reprint the book. Their contact info is as follows: County Heritage (877/264-3748) eaglesnestmtn@mindspring.com Sure hope it could/can be reprinted!!! It's must reading for anyone with roots in Blount Co.!!
