  George and Mary sold land in Albermarle County in 1776 and moved to
  Amherst County. He was too old to fight in the Revolution so he acted in the capacity of "Patriot" and is listed in the Amherst County Order Book 1773-1782, page 482.
  
  In the Virginia Gazette of June 6, 1778 the following notice appeared:
  Galaspie, George, of Amherst County adv. that from late behavior of his
  wife Mary Galaspie, he has reason to doubt her attachment to his
  interests and will not be answerable for any of her debts".
  
  Listed in the Amherst County Personal Property Tax 1787 list B as George Gillispee having 1 male son (George Jr.) between 16 and 21 living with him. Owning 5 slaves over 16, 3 slaves under 16, 8 horses, and 9 cows.
  
  Listed on the 1800 Amherst County tax list as George Gillespie. Owning 5 slaves over 16, 1 slave under 16, and 5 horses.
  On November 21, 1803, George's widow ( #2 Molly Faris) deeded her
  interest in his estate to his children for 300 pounds.
  
  George's heirs sold 404 acres of land in Amherst County Virgina on the
  south side of and adjoining the Piney River to David S. Garland. Except
  for a quarter acre where "our father George is buried". Piney River
  divides Amherst from Nelson Co.
  
  A Wright descendant of George (probably through Dicey) found a copy of
  the deed including the location of the burial site. Near the Wright home, there are no markers and the graveyard has been plowed over.
