Am searching for the father and birthplace of Thomas GILLESPIE (b. 1719-d. 1796) Thomas GILLESPIE migrated into Augusta Co., VA and was there by 1740 when he was granted 400 acres on North Glade. A record was found where he was in the milita 1742. He married supposedly on 1 Jan 1745 a Naomi THOMPSON (b. 1728-d. 1796.) Her birthplace and parents are also unknown. They migrated into Rowan County, NC probably around 1749. It was suggested that both Thomas and Naomi originated in Cecil Co., MD, or Chester Co., PA, but no proof has ever been found. They died on the same day and are buried in the same casket in Thyatira Cemetery. They had 10 Children: James, Martha, Isaac, George, Lydia, Thomas, Alexander, Robert, David, and John. George moved to Sumner Co., TN; Isaac, Thomas, David moved to Williamson Co., TN.; James, Martha, Lydia, Alexander and Robert stayed in Rowan Co.; John went to Sumner Co., and then Alabama where he died. Have additional information on children and their spouses. Billie Curry Steeley, [email protected]
