Hello. I am Debby McArtor. I am researching the Thomas Gillespie who married Eleanor ? lines. This is one solid brick wall. I descend through his son Thomas (m. Margaret Bowen), #2's son Henry (m Ruth Chaffin), Henry's son Robert L. (m Mary Helmandollar), Robert's son William Thomas (m 1. Maude Wright 2. Ida Pearl Neel/Neal), "Tom's" son Buford (m. Tina Louise Alley), Buford's son William Thomas (my dad, m. Esther Mae Cruey). I have copies of marriage certificates for everyone up through Robert L and a copy of the page recording the marriage of Henry and Ruth. Since Rootsweb does not allow attachments, I will have these posted to my web site (when I can get the time to do it!<g>) and I will let everyone know when that is done for those who are interested. I would like information on Henry Gillespie (m Ruth Chaffin), Robert L (m Mary Helmandollar) and Maude Wright, the first wife of William Thomas Gillespie. William and Maude were married in Tazewell Co., Va. in 1897. Ten years later he married Ida Pearl. Story has it Maude died in childbirth. Ida is listed as the mother to William's first two sons, Arthur and Buford but they were born prior to 1907( when Tom and Ida were married). Any help is appreciated. Sorry about the mini novel. <g> Debby
