Notes
- From Clan Ewing:
- As we saw in the 1741/2 Will of Mary Ewing she had one daughter whose name was Franke (Frances?). She had a son-inlaw Robert Gillespie (mentioned above as being an adult in 1734) who was the executor of her estate. Franke (Frances) and Robert Gillespie were in Amelia Co., Va. buying 606 ½ acres for £100 on May 17, 1744 from Edward Brifwate (sic) Amelia Deed Bk 2 page 140, on Ft. Creek, part of same tract, same day sold to Samuel Ewing. Robert Gillespie wrote his will dated 14 October 1757 recorded in Prince Edward Co., Va. WB #1 page 29. Names his wife, Franke Gillespie and sons, William, George and James Gillespie. [Robert Gillespie witness on Cecil Co., MD. 1739 will of Alexander Ewing. One Frances Gillespie wrote her will in Prince Edward Co., Va. on 24 July 1790 and it is recorded there in Will Book #2 page 105. She names the same three sons, William, George and James Gillespie. We have not tried to trace these three men, tho we believe George died there by 15 Sept 1834 (Will Book 7, page 376 dated 23 Jan 1833). He leaves his entire estate there in Prince Edward Co. to nephew Robert Gillespie of Buckingham Co., Va. (adjacent to Prince Edward Co., Va.) Wm. and George Gillespie sold 48 acres to James Ewing, Jr. 19 Oct 1778.
