ANOTHER REVOLUTIONER GONE

Departed this life on the 27th ult. at the residence of his daughter in 
Chambers county, Alabama, Mr. Daniel GILLESPIE, a soldier of the Revolution, 
in the 85th year of his age. The deceased was a native of Ireland and 
emigrated to this country some between before the commencement of 
hostilities. At the age of 15 he took up arms with the colonies against the 
mother country and fought with that noble band of heroes through the War of 
the Revolution, achieving for their descendants those liberties which they 
now enjoy. After peace was declared, he settled on Calhoun's Creek in this 
District where he resided until 1831, when he removed to Troup county, 
Georgia, and again in '42 or '43, to Alabama where he finished his earthly 
pilgrimage, leaving 9 children, 36 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren.
