    •      Some of the documents consulted to date identify this person as "Mary" and others use "May" as the given name. I have assumed, without any explicit evidence, that "Mary" is the proper given name and that "May" was used as a nickname. This is an assumption that will require further research.

    Census (family) Jun 1880  Edwardsville, Madison County, Illinois, USA Find all individuals with events at this location  [20] 

    •      According to the 1880 U.S. enumeration, the household in Ward 2 consisted of David Gillespie, a 51 year old lawyer, his wife, Minna Gillespie, age 45, keeping house, and their four children: Julia Gillespie (age 23); Edwin Gillespie (age 18); Henry Gillespie (age 15), and Mary Gillespie (age 10). There were two single boarders: Carrie Houck (age 23) and Clay H. Lynch (age 32), a grain dealer. Also living in the home were two single servants: Mary Mansfield (age 18), born in Maryland of Irish parents; and William Meek (age 26), a farm laborer, he and his parents were born in Bohemia.
           The next household enumerated in this census consisted of Moses Sherman (age 42, a grain dealer), his wife, Isabella Sherman (age 38) and their daughter, Martha Sherman (age 12). Also living in the household was a servant, Mary Childres (age 16).
           And the dwelling enumerated after the Sherman's was the home of Wesley R. Brink (age 30, a publisher), his wife, Nellie Brink (age 26), and their two daughters, Florence Brink (age 3) and Julia Brink (age 1). Also living in the household was Wesley's mother-in-law, Martha Gillespie (age 64, a widow), and Louisa Bernius (age 20), a servant.
           What the 1880 census does not reveal is the close family ties woven through these three homes and foreshadowing extended family associations. Wesley Brink's mother-in-law, Martha A. (McGrew) (Hynes, or Hinds) Gillespie, the second wife of Matthew Gillespie, would have been the mother of Wesley's wife, Elizabeth Eleanor "Nellie" (Gillespie) Brink. Martha was also the mother of Isabella J. (Gillespie) Sherman and the step-mother of David Gillespie, who was the son of Matthew Gillespie and his first wife, Nancy Gordon.
           In 1882, Julia B. Gillespie, daughter of David and Minna (Barnsback) Gillespie, became the first wife Dr. Edward William Fiegenbaum. Clay Hardin Lynch, one of the boarders living in the Gillespie home in 1880, married one of Dr. Fiegenbaum's sisters, Martha Lizette Fiegenbaum, in 1884.
