Henry was a son of Thomas Gillespie and Margaret Bowen. I am seeking any
info on Henry and Ruth and their children. I know they had a son named Robert
who married Mary Helmandollar. I would also like any info on Robert and Mary.
Thanks. Debby

Looking for Information on Nancy Gillespie. She had married Thomas Ferguson,
Jr and they settled in Knox Co., Kentucky. Supposedly she died there because
soon after that Thomas was married to Nancy Young. Nancy Gillespie was first
married to John Bowen in Virginia. He was killed at the Battle of Kings
Mountain. The family was angry at all Ferguson's and thus when Nancy married
Thomas the Bowen's grew quite upset and went to court over the dau of John and
Nancy. Nancy lost. I believe Nancy Gillespie changed her name to Nancy Young
after the Gillespie's and Bowen's turned their back on her. If you have
information on Nancy Gillespie or Young I would be interested.
Thanks, Dee Ferguson Sutton
