Location: [unknown]
As there is a discrepancy with the paternity of William Gillespie and Nancy Gillespie because of the scarcity of vital statistics documentation, this is a record of DNA connections between the 2 families. This is particularly compelling as the proximity of William Gillespie's plantation is 330 miles apart taking the "Cowpasture Trail" [1]. It is also important that in the mid 18th century, York would have been the most accessible city west of the Appalachians for plantation owners in northern Virginia to sell their product. At that time York was the cross roads between settlers and indigenous populations and considered a large city before the American Revolution.
