About
George Gillespie was born in Kirkcaldy, Scotland. He was a Scottish theologian. He studied at St. Andrews University. On graduating he became domestic chaplain to John Gordon, 1st Viscount Kenmure, and afterwards to John Kennedy, 6th Earl of Cassilis. In 1640 he accompanied the commissioners of the peace to England as one of their chaplains. From 1643 onwards, he was a member of the Westminster Assembly. He was the youngest member at the Assembly, but took a great part in almost all the discussions on church government, discipline, and worship.
