Ronna,
Here's what I can contribute.
John Gillespie was married twice. The first to Alice McLaughlin. They had at least two children, William (married Annie Ryan) and Alice (married Thomas Campbell). My GGF was William. The second wife was Rebecca. Their children were Daniel J.(married to Katherine McDowell), John(married to Jane McDevitt), Neil(married to Mary Faulkner), George(married to Frances Hegarty), Patrick(maried to Rose McDevitt), Margaret(married to James Smyth), Theresa(married to George Hegarty), Jane(married to Denis McLaughlin), Alice(married to Thomas Campbell), Rebecca(married to __ McLaughlin), Anna(never married) Kathleen(married to John Bremman).
The family that came to the US were William, Neil, Patrick, Jane, Alice, Rebecca and Anna.
My GGF (William)was born in Shrove, Moville, County Donegal, Ireland abt. 1859. He died in Brooklyn, NY in 1919 at age 60. My Grandfather John Gillespie was born in Brooklyn in 1892. GGF William worked for the White Star (Cunard) shipping lines and family history has it that Gillespies were harbor pilots for a few generations.
Now you have it. If anything seems to fit with what you know, I sure would be interested. I do have the childrens names for most of this generation but only knew a few of them.
Best regards,
John
