This is my greatest grandfather. Based on data I obtained from the Virginia Archies these land transactions were for the same man. When he died he had 1100 acres of land on Big Creek in Ridgeway Virginia. A Gillie lady living in Utah told me about the farm so I went to Ridgeway but could not find it. Yes she is part of the Gilley Family and told me that a daughter-in-law in her line got mad at her mother-in-law and changed the spelling. The Ridgeway phone book has both Gilley and Gillie.
