      Note: MBG: "Mary Margaret, oldest daughter of Samuel II and Mary Jane McElwee, was of great business ability and foreseeing. I owe it to her that I was able to get the names of Samuel II children. She had put them all down in the family Bible, the original pages in her handwriting, which I have in my possession. She married Poindexter Toney when she was 44 years old and had lived at home with her father and took care of him after her mother died. At the time of her marriage, she had accumulated cattle, sheep, geese, furniture and money. I think she was the typical and perfect Scotch [sic] lady any true Scotsman would be very proud of. Mary Margaret and Poindexter lived with his son John E. Toney in their old age until they died.
      Father: Samuel Gillespie b: 6 Feb 1797 in Bath County, Virginia ."
