Dear Wanda, Sounds like the same line to me. Your below message is being FWD this second. She is quite busy, so give her time, and save my e-mail just in case. What in the world are the two of you doing on east Texas roots searching for Spencer? Isn't there a Spencer Page? It's ok by me, it seems to be working for you today, what can I say. ----Original Message Follows---- From: wrtracy@juno.com To: zcoffman@hotmail.com Subject: Re: Spencer's possibly from Mississippi > Smith Co., Texas Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2000 13:03:53 -0700 Carl, I am not Rhonda, but I am also researching Spencers and wonder if you would get me in touch with Doctor Barbara Beall too. .My Spencers came from England - VA-Tenn_ Franklin Co IL.. They were a very large family so it is possible my Spencer line went to Il and and others of the same family went elswhere. In my research, I have found MANY Spencers in Tenn, especially Lincoln Co. and this is where my bunch lived when they went to IL. Tthank you Wanda wrtracy@juno.com On Wed, 12 Jan 2000 08:07:22 PST "zella coffman" <zcoffman@hotmail.com> writes: > Hi. Rhonda, Maybe a Straw is all you need sometimes.
