The earliest Gillespie in Gillespie Settlement was probably Francis Gillespie, born NB, son of Francis Gillespie and Rosie ____, and married at Lepreau, NB to Nancy Ann Riordan who was born in Ireland. Seven children included
1) Mary Anne, born 12 May 1860, died 1935;
2) Edward, born abt 1862;
3) Francis, born abt 1863 and died 6 Mar. 1942. He married Mary Ida O'Regan;
4) John, born 20 April 1867, died 11 Sept. 1944;
5) Daniel, born 8 July 1867, died 14 Aug. 1947, he married 3 times - Mary Ann Lynch, Maria Bridget Mulherin, and Annie Poitras;
6) William, born 29 April 1871, died 19 Nov. 1946 and married to Alice Murchison;
7) Owen, born 30 April 1873, died 1937.
* You will note I have Daniel and John born 3 months apart, so I assume at least one of these dates is wrong. There are always errors. Please let me know if you find errors or omissions.
It was nice meeting you last month. Good luck with your club.
