When it comes to the Gillespie name, you are forgetting the children of James Callison and
Ann Gillespie. They had a son John Gillespie Callison, their son James
Callison had a son named John Gillespie Callison, and my ancestor, Samuel C. Callison, who
is assumed to be the son of James and Ann, had a son named John Gillespie
Callison. These were all in Texas, and were descended from James and Isabell. Samuel
Callison also had a daughter named Isabell.

Hi, to all my Callison buddies. Thanks to all of you who joined this
list and
let me know that you had joined and thanks to Rene' for giving us the push to
do this. I got a note from Rena which put me off on a tangent about her
Absolem. I was trying to collect as many Absolem, Alexander, Gillespie and
Moses to see if there was ANY common denominator between the families. It
would be nice if we could establish either a William or a John connection for
parents of these people.
I don't know if this is a correct or complete list but just flying by the
seat of my pants trying to figure it out.
1. Rena's Absolem who married Ann Flack, son of John or William?
2. Absolem (4), James (3) John (2) John Sr.(1) (son of James)
3. Absolem, (3) Elizabeth who married James Morrison (2) John (1) I feel that
she is the daughter of John Sr. (son of James)
4. Absolem (3) William who married Marian Chapman (2) son of John or
William??? (I'll have to check on this one to make sure)
5. Absolem (3), son of Moses (2)-- son of John or William ???--even though
some say William, it is up for debate
6. Absolem (3), son of Alexander (2)-- son of John or William??--early
researchers think son of John
Are their any other Absolems in the early generations????
Gillespie
1. Elizabeth who I feel is the daughter of John Sr.
2. Absolem, son of John or William ?????
3. I'm not sure but wonder if the G. in John G. Callison, son of Hiram (alias
Callison) was for Gillespie or not
Alexander
1. son of John or William
2. son of Hiram who was son of Moses
3. Son of Elizabeth Callison Morrison--- ?? daughter of John Sr.
Moses
1. son of John or William???/
2. grandson of John who was son of John Sr.
To the best of my knowledge there is NO Gillespie used in any line other then
those who are thought to descend from James and Isabella. Someone please set
me straight on this. I have often wondered if Isabella was a Gillespie OR if
John Sr. was married to a Gillespie. Enjoy wondering for today. Take care
