Eliza Gillespie  Died Wolfe Island March 26, 1904, age 90  years.   2nd record Eliza Martin Gillespie b June 22, 1814 IRELAND d 1904. Christ Church Anglican Cemetery, Wolfe Island  ID 010571, Obit:  At the residence of George Raneans (Ranous), Wolfe Island, there passed one of the Island’s respected citizens in the person of Eliza Martin, widow of the late Robert Gillespie, (he died 1887), she aged 90 years and nine months. Three sons and two daughter are left to mourn her loss: Robert, Howe Island, William and George, Wolfe Island. Mrs Raneans (Ranous) and Mrs Mackie (Michea), Wolfe Island. The funeral took place on Monday, 28th inst, Rev Mr Foster officiating. The remains were placed in a vault at the foot of the island.  (correction to names I made, and saw an agreement on FAG.. But not all of their children are identified on FAG).

My note: The matriarch of the family, wife of Robert Gillespie, Sr. It was the tombstone of her daughter Anne Gillow, who revealed the family came from Co Armagh, Ireland. I also did a serious research of this family line, but most notes are now from FAG. Several researchers tracing this family line corresponded with me.  I met a man on the ferry when I was returning to the mainland,  from filming the tombstones on Wolfe Island , who knew Robert Gillespie Jr from Howe island. This ferry worker directed me to Northumberland Co, and the daughter who moved there. I later walked that farm, and also stopped in Willowbank Cemetery for other family members. A long time ago.

I think the Robert Gillespie Sr family arrived with his family about 1840 from Ireland, just working from memory. Most of the earliest Gillespie Irish families who settled along the St Lawrence River during the 1820 to 1840 period either came from either Co Armagh or Co Tyrone. A big wind in Ireland caused a lot of damage in Northern Ireland in 1830 that might have been one cause.
