Information from Chickasaw Times Past, Vol. II, No. II

Note:  William Potts GILLESPIE and his wife Susan are buried about 1/2 mile southeast of the Gunntown Cemetery.  No dates for them are given.  This is W. P. GILLESPIE, Sr. whose will is on file in Houston, MS.  Since the will shows that he died in the 1880s, Susan must have died before the Gunntown Cemetery was started.  They lived on that property as early as 1848.  Several children's graves were once marked here, but over the years, markers have disappeared.
