"...About the year 1742 Thomas and James Gillespie(ancestry unknown) settled

Thomas Jr. Jacob, Jean, Eleanor, Ann, James, and William, as well as possibly of
George and others.
Of these, Thomas Jr. settled in Tazewell County, VA., about 1780 and was the
father there by his wife Margaret Bowen, of Rees, Robert, William, Levisa, Mary,
John, Henry; and William (son of the immigrant Thomas) married Olivia Johnston
and was the father by her of David, Joseph, Albert, Sarah, Margaret, Mary ,and
Ella.
Possibly the above-mentioned James, brother of the immigrant Thomas, was he
who died in Rockbridge County...

I have really hit a brick wall with Thomas Gillespie from Ulster who married
Eleanor in Augusta Co., Va in 1755. Thomas died in 1789 in Augusta Co. Does
anyone know who his parents were? Siblings? Eleanor's maiden name? Anything?

BRADLEY COUNTY HISTORY OF TENNESSEE

THE GOODSPEED PUBLISHING CO., 1887.

"Cleveland was laid off and the streets surveyed by John C. Kennedy in 1836
upon land occupied by Andrew Taylor, who had come into the Nation sometime
before, and married a Cherokee woman. His house stood about where Hartsell's
store now is, on the west side of the public square. In 1837 the General
Assembly passed an act establishing the town of Cleveland as the county seat and
appointing the following commissioners: Levi Trewhitt, Nicholas Spring, P. J. G.
Lea, James Berry, John C. Kennedy, Robert Swan, John Hardwick, Robert Bashears
and Burrows Buckner, provided they agreed to the provisions of the act
appointing them. Should they dissent, William Champion, Ezekiel Springgs, George
Reed, Isaac Brazelton and John Hammon were to act as commissioners. The
provisions of the act referred to were that the two quarter sections upon which
the town was located, except the part laid off into lots, should be sold to pay
the State price for the land, and to raise a fund of $8,000 for the erection of
a courthouse and jail; also, should there be a deficit, after selling the lands,
an amount sufficient to supply it was to be levied upon the occupants of the
lots in the town, each individual paying in proportion to the value of his
property. These conditions were complied with, and, as has been stated, the
county buildings were erected in 1839. The town was settled quite rapidly, and
by 1840 the inhabitants numbered bout 500. Among the first merchants were Dr.
Nicholas Spring, P. J. G. Lea, John D. Traynor, Baldwin Harle, Robert Humphreys,
L. B. Miller, Lowry & Wasson, Robert Bashears, Robert and Isaac Swan, Andrew
Russell, A. B. Foster, W. K. Pickens, D. C. Kenner, Washington Parks and W. H.
Tibbs. At first goods were hauled in wagons from Nashville, Augusta and other
distant points/ After the construction of the
Western & Atlantic Railroad was begun the terminus of that line beame the
shipping point for Cleveland. The first blacksmith in the town was John
McJunkin, who had previously worked for the Indians. Hiram Pendergrass also
located at about the same time. Paschal Carter and John Wamble came soon after.
Among the early carpenters and cabinet-makers were George Rider, Joseph Shields,
William Samples, John Woods and Henry Brown. Several small tanyards were sunk on
the creek west of town. They were owned by John Hardwick, John Shugart, James
Ruble, Isaac Low and John Goodner. The early saddlers were John Thornberry,
James Riddle and George T. Parker. John Osment and W. L. Brown were tailors.
