I am looking for information on my great-great-great-grandfather,
Abraham Gillespie. He was born in 1798 in Knox County TN. He left Knox
County in 1824 and went to Lincoln County, Tennessee and from there to Indiana
in 1848.
He had 2 brothers and 4 sisters that came to Indiana with
him. He had six children:
Thomas Harvey born 1823,Wahling
born 1831, Margaret Ann born 1833, James born 1835, Jacob born 1836, and Martha
(birth unknown).
Abraham died in 1867 in Gibson County, Indiana, and
buried in the Archer Cemetery. I believe his father’s name in Isaac
Gillespie and came from Scotland, but I have no proof of that.
I would like any
information regarding his parents and siblings. Thanks.

Doris, Abraham was also my 4xgg. I have no information on his parents at all. I have studied his estate probate records extensively and know he was likely married twice, but have a lot of discrepancies as to whether his first wife was Jane McConnell and his second Sarah (possibly) Higginbothem. This part is quite confusing and many researchers disagree.
