Married June 7, 1867 in Saginaw County, Brady Twp, Mi.
My grandmother Emma Eloise (Gillespie)Dolsen, Seeley, told me that her grandparents James and Mary (Cross) Gillespie met at a logging camp where Mary was the cook. Mary was 16 at that the time that they met. James Gillespie never took his wife Mary to meet his family in Canada and the family believed that it was due to him marrying beneath his class and that he did not wish her to be subject to their ridicule.
