Diane- My g-g-grfather was John Patterson Gillespie, born in 1802. His parents
were Lowry Gillespie and Frances Patterson. We think Frances was dau. of John
Patterson and Margaret Baskin. Does this go with your information? Margaret
Baskin (born probably around 1750 in VA) was dau. of William Baskin. Does this
fit your info? E-mail sgh@mail.utexas.edu.
Lived Abbeville Dist SC. To GA after the Rev. War, living across Savannah
River, opposite the mouth of Rosses Creek. Lived Elbert Co., GA.

Foreword on the next page:
'It is a distinct privilege to write this foreword for the historical prepared
and delivered by Dr. Nora Davis in connection with the historical meeting at old
Long Cane Church on October 27, 1940. The outstanding feature of this occasion
was her paper prepared with painstaking care after thorough research, setting
forth the long and honorable history of this notable church of the Associate
Reformed Presbyterian Synod. The thoroughly scholarly character of this history
makes it a work of outstanding worth. All of us who love old Long Cane owe to
Dr. Davis a debt of continuing gratitude for the labor of love expended in the
preparation of this interesting brochure.

Was Dr. Davis connected with Due West College? If so, her papers might be
there. If you have access to a large public library or to a university library,
check the NUCMC [I hope I've got that right!] It's the National Union Catalog

The following list of members of Long Cane Church is from the historical
sketch prepared and delivered by Dr. Nora Davis in connection with the
historical meeting at old Long Cane Church on October 27, 1940...The history Dr.
Davis presents is very interesting and anyone whose ancestors were members of
this church might want to get a copy of the entire sketch. My copy was ordered
many years ago from The South Caroliniana Library at the University of South
Carolina. I wish the names were in alphabetical order, but I will type them as
they appear in the sketch, which perhaps is the order in which the individuals
actually signed.

p. 11-12. A tradition of special interest to our study is that of the KERR
family. It is a strong family tradition that they were in Augusta [Co., VA]
ahead of John LEWIS [who came in the very early 1730's] [author cites Vincent
Brown Kerr, BRIEF HISTORY OF KERRS AND KIN, 1730 to 1930 (Stauton VA nn 1930) p.
3.]
The KERRs were a part of the Donegal Presbyterian Society on the Susquehanna
River in Pennsylvania, under the ministry of Rev. James ANDERSON. The did move
to Augusta very early; they settled on a choice spot of land at the juncture of
Christian's Creek, Long Meadow Run, and Middle River; a Kerr log-home of very
early date, still standing, is near the beginning point of a survey made in 1736
for the Beverly Manor lands out of which all the settlers of the area received
their titles many years after settlement; and James KERR did take a place of
leadership in the earliest records of church and county organizations.
there is record of removals from Donegal as early as 1730....
p. 13. ..."Of more than passing interest is the fact that [the CAMPBELL
family] tradition runs such a close parallel to the KERR family. Both, according
to tradition, came to Augusta County about 1730, from Lancaster County
Pennsylvania, and were ardent Presbyterians...."
p. 70. ..."Other prominent leaders among the people...that worshiped in the
southern part of Beverley Manor included: CAMPBELL, CHRISTIAN, KERR, FINLEY,
PRESTON, STUART, BELL, ALEXANDER, THOMPSON, PATTON and others..."
p. 109. ..."Constables were provided for various communities to enforce the
law. Of special interest in the local community were the appointments to serve
in this capacity: John CHRISTIAN, and John CARR (KERR) in 1739, William SMITH in
1741, and James CALDWELL in 1743. All these were members of Tinkling Spring.

William Kerr, Jr., born 27 Nov. 1751 in NC, married Rosannah Neill, born 8 Dec
1761. They had a son named Thomas Allison Kerr, born 10 Dec 1795, died 13 Nov

Searching for information on Matthew Gillespie b.1726 who moved from Augusta Co. VA to NC and Abbeville Co.SC where he died in 1793. Need to know about his children and their marriages and children. I have part of the puzzle, but many blanks.

Angela: I am happy you responded to my posting. I need to know any other names, dates, etc. before we can determine if there is a family tie. I have heard that lots of Gillespies, Pattersons, Pickens and Baskins moved together from Augusta County, and many arrived in different parts of S.C., Georgia, and Alabama. Drop me a note or E-mail me and we can see what names match.

Elaine, I am a descendent of Matthew Gillespie who married Lucy Pickens. They had a son also named Matthew. The senior Matthew died, and Lucy married John Kerr, etc. I am very interested in your information about Elijah. We have some missing links, and this certainly sounds like one.

PICKENS FAMILIES OF THE SOUTH, by E. M. Sharp, (1963):
p. 63-64. Matthew GILLESPY, Junior, son of Matthew GILLESPY, Sr, and Lucy
PICKENS. b. ca. 1726 in Penn. - died 1793 in Abbeville Dist. SC.
m. (1) Anna ______? in Augusta Co., VA.
m. (2) Frances PATTERSON in Abbeville Dist SC [handwritten NOTE inserted here says 'SEE REVISION OF BELIEF']. Dau. of John PATTERSON of Elbert Co. GA.
James GILLESPY, a son of Matthew GILLESPY was baptised by Rev. John CRAIG at Old Stone Church [Augusta Co., VA] on September 17, 1749. Matthew GILLESPY moved to the Waxhaw area of the Carolinas about the time his uncle John PICKENS did, and he witnessed a deed which John PICKENS made January 17, 1755 for land on Catawba River to Robert MCCLENAHAN. He may have been in Rowan Co., N.C. at the time, as he is listed as a "cordwinder" with his wife Anna in Rowan Co., NC in a deed March 18, 1754. He is also listed as a tithable in Rowan Co., NC in 1759. He moved to So. Carolina and settled on Great Rocky Creek, about the same time his two uncles John and Gabriel PICKENS arrived there. He is listed in Wilkes Co. GA as receiving a grant of ceeded land in 1775. He is listed as a resident of South Carolina with four sons and four daughters. He never moved to Georgia.
Matthew GILLESPIE, citizen, was granted 51 acres below the ancient boundary
line on Middleton's Creek, a branch of Great Rocky Creek, bounded on the north by lands of Matthew GILLESPIE, on the east by Andrew PICKENS. Surveyed July 20, 1785.
Andrew PICKENS - citizen, granted 227 acres in Abbeville Dist. on Great Rocky Creek bounded on northwest by Matthew GILLESPIE, on the southeast by Andrew PICKENS and part on William PICKENS and Fleming BATES. Surveyed May 4, 1785.
When these two plats of land are set in their context, they lie in the same
neighborhood in which John PICKENS and Gabriel PICKENS settled in 1764. The
Andrew PICKENS here mentioned is the man who moved to Giles and Fayette Counties in Tenn., a son of John PICKENS, Sr. He married Margaret GILLESPIE in 1790 who may have been a daughter of Matthew GILLESPIE.
Matthew GILLESPIE died in Abbeville District in 1793. His estate was
administered March 25, 1793 by Frances GILLESPIE, widow, James GILLESPIE,
William MCCLESKY, Sr., who made bond. Citation was made at Rocky River Church.

"I received your packet today with the info on GILLESPIE's. I have several
conflicts with your info. I have several copies of letters and family bibles
that do not match your info. The Mathew that you have as married to Frances
PATTERSON cannot be correct. Mathew Jr son of Mathew and Lucy was born in 1726, Frances PATTERSON dau of John PATTERSON of Elbert co. was not born until 1779. We show she was married to GGGFather Lowery GILLESPIE b. 1771.
This info is taken from a family bible that belong to James Lowery GILLESPIE, now in the possession of Clara GILLESPIE. John PATTERSON did not die until 1808 if he is to be the father of a Frances b. 1728 he would have had to be a 100 when he died, not likely.
I will make copies of some of the family sheets I have that I found in old
family records, and a copy of the bible records I have and send them to you

The parents of Lowry Gillespie were James Lowry Gillespie and Elizabeth
Baskin Gillespie. I feel certain they moved to Abbeville, SC from Augusta Co.,
VA together with Baskins and Pattersons. I think both James Lowry and Elizabeth
Baskin Gillespie are buried in Abbeville. Elizabeth widow and Lowry, son,
settled James' estate in Abbeville in 1795. E-mail me for further info.

You are talking the same bunch. Brothers William, John, and James moved to
Blount County, TN 1787 with sister Elizabeth. James and Jennett of Augusta
County, VA are their parents. This information never lost to my line. The Prince
Edward County connection is James Gillespy's wife Elizabeth Finley's
grandfather's relatives. Her grandfather John Thomson (no p) was an eminent
frontier Presbyterian minister died Iredell County, NC about 1752. I have very
little on brother John's line.
