General Notes: Husband - Neal Gillespie, Sr.

---

A native of Ireland, he emigrated to America, and after a short time in the eastern part of Pennsylvania came to Washington County, with his family. In 1784 he purchased a tract of land known as "Indian Hill" of the widow and son of William Peters, better known as "Indian Peter." This tract embraced what later became West Brownsville and a part of East Pike Run township adjoining. His large estate was partially divided before his death. A ferry, which had been established in 1775, was continued by him until his death, and by others until the completion of the Monongahela bridge in 1833, when it was abandoned.
