      1. Previously listed as a child of Peter A. Gillispie (1851-1925) and Mary Susan Holley (1860-1946), Mary Etta Gillispie (August 25-1894) is NOT a child of Peter Gillispie and Mary Susan Holley.

      2. Close DNA matches and a marriage record seems to indicate that John Ward Gillespie (1826-1874) was Peter A. Gillispie's (1851-1925) father.

      Note from Donna Forney Clark concerning Josephine Elizabeth Gillispie Grant (1873-1946) in the reference below: After viewing photos of the actual death certificate and the book of register of births sent by Lynn Weaver, I believe that there is a mistake on Josephine Elizabeth Gillispie's death certificate which gives her date of birth as August 11, 1872 and that the date should have read August 11, 1873 just the same as the birth of E. J. Gillispie is listed in the book of register of births. This would make E. J. Gillispie and Josephine Elizabeth Gillispie one and the same person.
