Photograph- Farmhouse possibly located on tract of land originally surveyed for the Gillespie family but taken up by William Fulton in 1742. Note with photograph reads: Gillespie Tract. The Gillespie Tract was 393 acres, lying along the Conowingo Creek, which was surveyed to one James Gillespie, and taken up by William Fulton in 1742, and later increased by three other pieces, making it nearly 600 acres. This seems to have covered what is now known as the Frank C. Pyle mill, the Smedley property, John Landis Herr's property and probably the Dr. Gryder property, now Shoemakers'. - Quarryville Sun, October 9, 1923.
