My Gillespie ancestry was handed to me by Louise Gillespie Lynch over 20 years ago. I don't even have all of those documents I used back in 1973 to get into the Sons of the American Revolution by right of descent from Thomas Gillespie Sr Rowan Co NC What I do have is a web page with some Gillespie's on it, at http://www.nyx.net/~damorgan/gillespie.html (I think that is right) and a mail list called GILLESPIE-L that is available for ALL Gillespie, Gillispie, Gillaspy, whatever the spelling. I wish you would join. Somebody might have the info you are looking for. Send an e-mail to [email protected] with the one word, subscribe in the BODY of the message. Then to send a query to the list, send it to [email protected] David [email protected] ---- David W.
