Looking for information about George GILLESPIE. I believe he purchased land in Noble County in 1838. I'm hoping to find out if he is the one I'm related to. He is mentioned in Belmont County, but I found this land record for Noble County, and am hoping it is him. If anyone knows more about George or his wife, Elizabeth HENDERSON, please let me know, thanks.

I am looking for the parents of George GILLESPIE. He was born in Bellaire, Belmont County, Ohio, in 1810 (d. 1872). He married Elizabeth HENDERSON in 1835. She was also born in Belmont County, in 1818 (d. 1886). I think George's father's name was James, but I don't know.
