FranklinsHisioric Families
NAMES WHICH BELONG TO
OUR COUNTY AND MAKE
ITS HISTORY.
THE GILLISI'IE FAMILY
Lov. ry Gillispie was bom Jan. 12th
1771, on Bockj'river, Abbeville coun¬
ty, S. C. lie married Fannie Pat-
ti'V->!; in 1700, end moved lo Frank-
iin iinty in 1800,. and settled on
Nails Creek on the known as
the .h im Patterson place. Lowry
Gii'isp.i' 1 raised seven sons and two
daughteis. The eldest, John P.,
married Anna Garrison and moved to
Carroll county, Ga. in 1824, and rais-
ed a f «milv of three. Ilis eldest son,
Claton C., became an eminent Meth¬
odist minister, and was stationed at
Mobile for fiveytfars, when the con¬
ference appointed him edi:or of the
Christian Advocate, and he was sent
to Galveston, Texas, where he dis¬
charged his duties as editor, until the
war of 1861. At the commencement
of the wai, he abandoned bis editori¬
al work and took command of a regi¬
ment as tlu-ir colonel. After the war
his father, J, Ik Leing left alone, went
to Col. C. Giiiisj-ie’s at Houston,
Texas, wl ere he died of yellow fever.
Little is known of his son, C. C., or
any of the family Face Lowry G’s
second son, Win. B., married Eliza¬
beth Gaidntr in 1820, raised a fami¬
ly n Franklin, now Banks county,
where he died many years ago. He
had been a class leader m the Metho¬
dist chunh near forty years jtrevious
to his death. He was elected sheriff
of Franklin county over Payton
Jones, an ex-representative in the
legislature. When Banks county
was organized, he was elected one of
he judges of the superior court. He
had been justice of the peace for
rimnr aucl. in, rcouiit.y matt rv.« ..
Ins council was sought before mak¬
ing a decision. IIis entire family
were strict adherants of tbc Chris-
tain faith. lie died at the ripe old
Agod§r-%ighty-one. The next sen,
.Janies L., married Elizabeth Yar-
brorgh, and raised a considerable
family in Franklin county. He had
three sons and three sons-in-law in
the late war. All Ins children went
west after the suirender with the ex¬
ception of three daughters. One has
since died. Mrs. B. D. McFarland
still lives in Fiaaklin county, and
the otliei-, Mrs. Win Tin mas lives in
Banks county. James L. served as
justice of the peace as long as he
would accept tke position.. lie was
solicited 10 run for the legislature
more than once, but declined, prefer-
ing the life of a farmer. He was con¬
sidered a scrupulously honorable man,
would injure himself rather than dis¬
comfit his neighbor. lie died at the
age of eighty-two. He was a deacon
of the Baptist church for many years.
Pickens II., the next son, married
Nancy Marrow and lived in Frank¬
lin county twelve years when he
moved to Carroll county, Ga. lie
raised two sons and several daugh-
ier?. Onc of his sons lost Lis life in
the late war. The other returned
1 rife, and when last heard from was
in Chambers county, Ala., following
the occupation of his ancestors, agri-
-cnlture. P. II. Gillispie was consid¬
ered by all who knew him one of the
most pious and devoted Christ'ans
in the land and as a consequence his
entire family embraced the Christian
faith at an early age. A mild word
or a nod ot the head always sufficed
to bring liis children to order, lie
rarely spoke a harsh word or made a
threat, notwithstanding he raised the
most quiet family in all the land.
Consequently the most wicked p< o
pic of his acquaintance often v .; ark-
el that if there was any true C i i-
tiau P. II. Gillispie was that man.
Ho was a class leader ia tie Metm-d
i?t church from twenty years of age,
and continued to discharge said du¬
ties when last heard iVo.;!, four years
ago, being at that lime sevcMy five
years old. 1*. 11. Gillispie, the fifth
son, married Rlioda M ungun .-si: d liys
ed in Franklin county until five years
after the war, when he moved with
his only child, Mrs. Fannie Fuller, to
Atlanta, where he died at the age of
seventy-six. P. B. Gillispie was a
prosperous farmer previous to the
war. By hard work and econemv.
he had accumulated considerable
property, a good farm and nine
ten negroes. At the close of the war
by President Lincoln’s proclamation
his main earnings were taken from
him. At that time he lived at the
Long Badge, two miles west of Car-
nesville, but shortly after he moved
into Carnesviile, and bought and
kept the Frankiin hotel now oceu-
tied bv Dr. II D. Aderhold. He
bved at and near Carnesviile
years. lie was a strict member
the Baptist church, had been a (lea-
con for more than forty years before
ht moved away. lie was a man that
commanded respect and admiration
wherever he lived. lie detested de¬
end intemperance in all its i

dained a deacon and has officiated in
that capacity ever since. He is
called a leader in the Baptist cause,
.always prompt in all ids duties as an
officer and a member. He also offi¬
ciated in the office of justice of tin-
peace, resigning it only to take up
up arms in the southern cause in the
late civil war. He marched to the
front as second lieutenant m the
company known as the Stephens
volunteers, in honor of the late Alex¬
ander IT. Stephen?. Mr. Gillispie

VOLUME. XVI. NO. 6.
Widows of So'diers,
We stated a few days ago that the
blanks to be used by confederate
widows, ter the purpose of drawind
pensions would be hei e by the 20th
of this month. Now the news comes
from Atlanta that they will not be
printed until the tiirst of April and
it will proablybe from the 0th to the
10th of the month before they reach
this office. In the mean tine ihe
widows can be geting their testimony
ani have every thing ready when the
blanks arrive.
We give below detections which
if followed will save much trouble.
1st. They must pro., e their marriage
by three witnesses. \Ye suppose
that where actual witnesses
lacking, proof of the fact that they
lived to gethcr as husband and
wife, so reconized each other and
were so leconized in the country
will be sufficient. This is however
our own conjecture.
2nd. They must prove by three
witnesses that the husband entered
the army,
Bid. They must prove by three
wztesses that husband was killed in
battle, or died from woueds or dis¬
ease while in the service, or died
alter the war was over from wounds
reeieved, cr discare contracted
while in the army.
These dieeclions are plajn and
simple and will enable euer. pen¬
sioner to get up h-r testimony and
be ready to make applitauon as
soon as the blanks come.
There are a few eases in the
country where the husband die -
appeared and has never been heard
from. In such cases, the fact that
he has never returned is taken as
proof of his death.
LA GRIPPE AGAIN.
During the epidemic of La Grippe
last season Br. King’s i\ ew Discov¬
ery for Consumption, coughs and
Colds, proved to be the best remedy.
from the who used it
confirm this statement . They
rotonlv quickly relieved, but the
disease left r.o bad after results.
We ask you to give this remedy a
trial and we guarantee that 3*011
will be satisfied with results or the
*
purchase price will be refunded. It
has no equal in La Grippe or any
throat Chest or Lung Trouble. Tri¬

A FAMOUS MYTH
vVilliam PaitQrsorvs Will,
AN INT ERESTING DOCUMENT
Thus induced me in the year 1775
to embark all the property I then
possessed in parts of two vessels and
cargoes destined from Philadelphia to
France, for the sole purpose of return-
ing with powder and arms in one of
which I embarked myself. Only one
these vessels safe hack to
Philadelphia where she arrived in the
month of March 187/&wilb the cargo
intended, and in a most critical time
when it was said that George Wash¬
ington, then before Boston with the
army, had not powder enough to lire
a salute. On my way from Europe
I stopped at the island of - EustatisF
in the month of February 18^6,
where 1 was pressed by some of my
friends to remain and carry on busi-
nesc with America, and which I was
the more induced to do, on account
of the “'great intcrcoime that goon
took place, affording the Ameaicans
the opportunity of collecting and
shipping arms and am unit ion and
almost everything iiecessaay for
carrying on the war. I remained at
St Euslatia for about eighteen months
and finding that the Dutch govern•
ment, (although perfectly well dis¬
pose ) w-.s not able to protect the
Americans and their trade against
the Bri is h. I thought it inoat
advisable to remove from thence to
Martinique, where I continued in
business until my return to Baltimore
Note 1, T he scene of my com¬
mercial business in the West Indies,
centered at St Eustatia, St Mamins,
Sp Pierie Myqne. Governor De
Graff commanded at Ike former,
firoveroov Uylgar at the second and
the Ma-quis De Bailie at the latter.
T! 1 3i- To all, >* oec dead but it is due to
1 heir memories to ohsuve r TtuTr
one and all contributed g'-cacly m
promaling ihe interest of America in
affording eveay facility in th ir pow¬
er to the Americans who lived under
their goveruments. Govern it De*
Graff, in particular was oaUcd home
to Holland to answer for the partiali¬
ty shown the Americans.
Having had some valuable" friends 1
5.ri-.i connections both in Europe and
America, I established myself with
great advantage at. Fustaxia/wEere
1 soon made what was then consider¬
ed a fortune, say s&fbtfty to eighty
thousand debars. But as the trade
with America was attended with
great haz rd and no insurance oould
bo effected, I lost by British captures
and sea losses in a little more than
one month nearly half I was worth.
This of course gate me considerable
concern and brought me to the de¬
termination that if I should live to
reach America [being then ii\ bad
health} that I would certainly realize
one half at least of what I nugbl pos¬
sess, and spoit with the other half in
co nineree t as a prudent gsmbler
might do in games of chance. For
I did and sti l do think commerce in
the shipping line as a desperate and
hazardous game of chanc e. I arriv-
cd in BaltimorerffTtEe month of July 2
11^78 and brought with me in fast
sailing \ essels, cash and merchandise
more than a hundred thousand doL
iars value, rat. d at the standard val?
uc of gold and silver, for continental
paper money was then the only cur¬
rency iu circulation and was no^ a *
plication of four for one, at which
late I sold so uegoid brought m with
me from the West Indies; th« tJV
thing I thought of after iuy arrival,
was to put my former resolution inio
practice by investing one half of the
proceeds of my property in ieal es¬
tate.
