The end of the semester approacheth. Thursday is my last day for two weeks (thank goodness), and I turn in my grades that day. However-- --I won't be actively participating on these lists over my "vacation" because I plan to get that "Twigs of Inman & Spence" website up and operating. The Spencer portion of the first article is written (although I need to add some more information because I have discovered some more things). The Spence portion of the article has a good start; I need to finish it. Then I have to write the third portion of the article in which I combine the two. And then I plan to load it onto a server. I'm still looking for a server--but I may use Rootsweb since these lists are already operating on that server. My goal is to have the project available before I return to school August 23. (Actually,--before August 19, since I have an all day seminar on that date and Aug 20, since I have to attend an orientation on that day). So--keep talking. I may not be answering questions or providing input for a while.

This is the information my mother-in-law gave me at last week's family reunion on the Western Slope. I do not have the woman's name. Her father is Danny Lee Inman, and he is fifty years of age. His father was Elzie Dan Inman, who is 85 years of age. Elzie Dan Inman's father was John Henry Inman--dates unknown. The family came from Arkansas--I do not know the area. Barbara

I am still searching for the whereabouts of J. C. Inman and J. G. his son during the 1870-1880's period. J.C. and wife Eleanor are on the 1850 Graves Co. Ky. Census along with children Mary 3, E.E 3 male and William 6 months. On 1860 Graves Co. Pernecia 8, Jerry W. Jesse G. ( J. G). 4, and Sarah J. 2 have been added. On the 1870 Boone co. Arkansas T. J. (f) 11(possibly Sarah), J. B. 8 male , M. E. 5 female, and J. T. 2 male have been added. All the children with the exception of Pernecia born in Missouri were born in Ky. I can't find J. C. or J. G. on the 1880 Census, but I do know that J. G. had children Nora, John, Effie, born in Texas during the 1880's. But J. G. is not found on the 1880 Texas Census and does not show up until 1890 on Indian Territory Census. Any help or suggestion would be appreciated. thanks, Mark

Did you say "Arkansas"? While on my trip to the Western Slope, I was given some information on an Inman line from Arkansas: A John Henry Inman. He was the great grandfather of a woman my mother-in-law met in Montrose, Colorado about a week or so ago. That information is still buried in my suitcase. I will fish that out and post it as well.

For months I have been trying to find an easy way to let you all get copies of new entries to the Guest Book. I finally have what I think is the second best way, but I am still working. I have already subscribed the Rootsweb list to this process. You should have just received a notice to that effect. So from now on, the List will receive a copy of the new Bio Page Submissions. I did not subscribe anyone else because many of you are already on the List and then you would receive two copies. That would be annoying. If you want to subscribe to this service, you can go here: http://inman.surnameweb.org/guest/guestlist.html Just enter your email address and click the button. If you change servers, user names, or wish to unsubscribe, just return to this page and repeat the process. I have also added a Tools page. It includes two calendar programs for determining dates in the past; my choice for genealogy tools for use on the web; site locators for those hard to find tiny towns; and the Social Security Death Indexes. All of these have really helped me in finding data for use in the database. I hope it helps you. Let me know if there are other tools that you think belong on this page. The database has finally crossed the 50,000 name mark. In April of last year we were at the 23,400 level. It has taken 15 months to double that figure.

I'm back.....from the Beall Family Reunion, and I survived!!! Actually, there were around 19 or 20 of us, and we were all running around Southwestern Colorado, dressed in tie-dyed T-shirts, bearing the symbol "Beall 1999". Someone asked us whether we were all from the same planet. My brother-in-law responded by saying, "Yes, we're waiting for our space ship to beam us up." Others wondered whether we were part of a family reunion and thought our T-shirt idea was clever!!! We celebrated my mother-in-law's 82nd birthday. She is a Warfield by birth and is planning to go to a Warfield-Polk family reunion in Maryland in the Fall. (She is also a DeLashmutt-Dorsey). We visited Telluride, Mesa Verde, and Ridgeway. We stayed in two bed & breakfasts near Norwood, and had a great time!!! We did have one powerful thunderstorm the other evening--something rather frightening to those of us in tents. Other than that, it was great! I came back with a great "murder mystery"--something I intend to use as an invention activity in my fall writing classes--and some genealogical information on the Inman line. If someone is looking for a John Henry Inman from Arkansas--my mother-in-law met a direct descendant of his in Montrose. I don't have the line with me today (it's still in my suitcase). But I'll dig it out and post it. Anyway, here I am. Today is the last day for my Monday-Wednesday class. I have two weeks left of my Tuesday-Thursday classes. However, my students are turning in their research papers on Thursday of this week. So I am about to be deluged.

I hope to learn the whearabouts of J. G. Inman and his father J. C. on the 1880 Census. J. G. was born about 1856 in Graves co. Kentucky. The family was in Boone Co. Arkansas in 1870. J. G. married (need his 1st wife's name) and had children born in Texas during the early 1880's period: Narra, John, Effie, but neither him or his father appears on either the 1880 Arkansas or Texas Census. In 1890 they are in Indian Territory. Thanks for any help. Mark

This will be my last day on line for several days. We leave for the Western Slope tomorrow (July 22) and won't be back until late Sunday. Monday is my last day of classes here at Metro for the summer; however, I still have two weeks to pull at the community college. When I return from the Western Slope, I'm going to be working double-time on that website (despite the fact that 45 research papers are staring at me from the rim of a hill and are about to descend next Thursday, July 29). I managed to slip over to the library the other day after school and discovered some more things about the Roe/Rowe family But, I'll have to save all of that for later. Meanwhile, keep posting/talking and I'll catch up when I return.

My rd great grandfather, Samuel Spence was born in Greenville, SC in 1800. He married Elizabeth Inman in Perry County, TN in 1824 (they took out their marriage license in Nashville, but the wedding took place in Perry County). She was the daughter of Samuel Inman, son of Meshach. I am interested in knowing more about your Daniel Inman. Samuel's father was Elisha Spence, who married Susannah Spencer, daughter of John Spencer. John Spencer and Samuel Inman resided in Burke County, NC--and John was speculating in land in Greenville. I know that a Henry Inman lived in Burke County, and appears on the same census record with Samuel, and I also know that several of these Inmans were dabbling around in real estate in Greenville and in Union Counties, SC. I'm just trying to figure out how they are all connected. Barbara --- Terry Jackson <jacksont@otelco.net> wrote: > Aren't you connected to Greenville, SC?

Yes, I finally found her. For years, researchers thought that she was Ann Dashiell, daughter of James Dashiell. When I started researching this line, I discovered that James Dashiell didn't have a daughter named Ann. The "Ann Dashiell" appearing on early Maryland transportation records was really Ann Cannon--James Dashiell's wife. So then I started searching for Anne Spence's identity. [Note: I discovered that David Spence and James Dashiell were cousins--but I'll save all of that for the web page] My next thought--and my thought up until yesterday when I made my big discovery--was that she was Anne Alexander, daughter of either John or William Alexander. David and Anne's second son was Alexander Spence. David had a lot of business dealings in Northumberland Virginia with Alexanders prior to his removal to Somerset, MD. So Anne Alexander seemed like an excellent choice. However, there was just one problem: while I could find many Anne Alexanders, I just couldn't find the one who married David Spence. Then yesterday--bingo. Actually, I have had the "clue" for over a year, which I obtained a year ago May from the Maryland Archives while we were there. I just didn't recognize what I was seeing and for the past year, my emphasis has been so wound up with the Spencers, that I "cooled off" my research on the Spence line. Sometimes, that's what we need in order to regain a proper focus. Anne Spence was originally Anne Rowe (Roe), the daughter of John Roe; who was born ca. 1611 in South Shields, Durham, England. His wife appears to have been Anne Inglis, twin sister of Margaret Inglis, James Dashiell's mother. Anne Inglis was older than her husband; she was born ca. 1604 in Edinburgh. Anne and Margaret Inglis's parents were Andrew Inglis (b. ca. 1550, Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland) and Marjory Mitchell, (b. ca. 1554, Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland). John Roe (Rowe's) father was Edward Rowe, b. ca. 1580, South Shields, Durham, England and his mother was Elizabeth Pattison, b. ca. 1584, South Shields, Durham, England. The elder Rowes (Edward and Elizabeth), were the parents of another Anne Rowe, b. ca. 1614, South Shields, Durham, England, who became the second wife of John Spens/Spence of Dysart (David Spence's father. This Anne Rowe/Roe was David Spence's step mother). [See how confusing this gets??? And I thought the Spencer, Bunch, Inman business was a mess!!!! The television paper towel commercial springs immediately to mind: "What do you call a Brawney mess?" Well, this is called a Spence/Roe/Inglis/Dashiell/Mitchell mess, and it becomes even more complicated when some of these people begin intermarrying with the Inman/Bunch/Spencer/Bell/Jones/etc., etc., etc. mess. It will take more than a paper towel to clean up this one! I am also reminded of the old "Bones" song that Tennessee Ernie Ford used to sing: "Well, the head bone is connected to the neck bone and the neck bone is connected to the shoulder bone and the shoulder bone is connected to the....."] John Roe (1615-1653) [brother of Anne Roe Spence, wife of John Spens of Dysart] left England for Virginia quite early. He settled first in York County, VA, and then he relocated to Northumberland County, VA. His three known children were: 1. Edward Roe, b. ca. 1634 in either York or Northumberland County, VA who died in 1676 in Talbot County, MD. 2. Thomas Roe, b. ca. 1639, who married Frances ?? about 1664 in MD. This Thomas Roe is the party who reserved a portion of the original "Despence"--David Spence's land--as a property called "Hereafter" for David Spence's youngest sons John and James after David's death [This is the documentation I acquired at the Maryland Archives. I couldn't understand why a Thomas Roe would do that, unless he was a "really great guy." Well, this explains it: he was Anne Roe Spence's brother and, therefore, uncle of David and Anne's children. 3. Anne Roe, b. ca. 1640 in either York or Northumberland County, VA (the wife of David Spence). She died ca. 1711 in Somerset County, MD. John Roe, Anne's father, died on the Wicocomico River, Northumberland County, VA after 1653. Her mother died in Elizabeth City, VA, and she may have died in childbirth with Anne. Anne's brother, Edward Roe, married Mary Cunningham around 1655 in Virginia. Edward died in 1676 in Talbot County, MD. The Inglises, Roes, and Mitchells were in York County, VA very early. I have an idea that they were instrumental in the transportation of David Spence and James Dashiell to Virginia. I found something else that is destined to be important: the Lyon family. Remember sometime back when I talked about an old William & Mary Quarterly article on the Spences in which an Anne Lyon was referenced in connection with David Spence, Jr. (son of David Spence of Somerset). The writer couldn't determine the identity of this Anne Lyon and I suggested that she may have been David's sister, Anne, who completely disappears from the records of Somerset County, MD. I suggested that she may have returned to Northumberland County, VA with her brother, David, after their mother's death and that she may have married a Lyon. Well, guess who the Lyons were? Hang on: here goes: John Spens of Dysart, the father of David Spence of Somerset, had three wives. His first wife was Helen Morris; she was David's mother and she died in childbirth with David and his twin brother John in 1639. David survived; the mother and the brother didn't. Helen's brother was Henry Morris (1612-1629) of Dunfermline, who married Isobel Duncane (1609-1629), also of Dunfermline. Their daughter Janet Morris (Moreis), b. 1636, Dunfermline, married James Allen, b. 1625, Dunfermline, and their daughter, Bessie Allan (b. 1657, Dunfermline,) married David Inglis (b. 1620, Dunfermline), whose sister, Margaret, marriead William Spens in Dunfermline in 1648. William Spens was John Spens's brother, and therefore, David Spence's of Somerset's uncle. John Spens' second wife was Anne Rowe (and I have already rowed that boat so I won't row it again). John Spens' third wife was Margaret Guthrie, by whom he had his last two children. The Guthries came from Angus. Margaret's brother was James Guthrie (b. 1596, Brechin, Angus, Scotland) and, of course, Jonet Lyon or Lyone, b. 1600, Brechin, Angus). Margaret's brother was David Guthrie, b. 1627, who married Margaret Livingston, b. 1631 and their son, James (b. 1654 in Angus) married Margaret Skinner, b. 1657, whose father, Laurence Skinner (b. 1626, Angus) married Margaret Guthrie (Margaret Guthrie Spens's niece). Of course, the Skinners were in NE NC and intermarried with the Spences "with great vigor." The John Spens family follows: Children by Helen Morris, whom he married in Dysart in 1634: 1. Margaret, who was born 5 November 1637 and who was christened 14 June 1638. She died young. 3 & 4 David and John, who were born 5 April 1639 and who were christened 16 April 1639. John and his mother died. David survived: this is David Spence of Somerset, MD. Children by Anne Roe (Rowe), whom he married at St. Oswalds', Durham, England 29 September 1639. 1 & 2. Twins: Thomas, b. 19 Jan 1641 and Susanna, b. 19 Jan 1641. [This next part is confusing, but consider the times. The Presbyterians and Anglicans were fighting one another for control of Scotland. This Spence family was Anglican, hence the reason for their constant travel between Dysart and Durham. When the Presbyterians controlled Scotland, these Spences went to Durham. When the Anglicans controlled Scotland, these Spences were back in Dysart. [The Presbyterians weren't exactly "nice" to the Anglicans whenever they were in control]. Susanna was ill, and it was questionable as to whether she would survive. Thomas was christened in Dysart 24 Jan 1641; and then the family fled to Durham, where Susanna was christened at St. Oswald's in Durham 29 June 1641. She may have died young; there is no further record of Susanna. 3. Alexander, christened at Dysart 12 Nov 1642 4. Margaret (John was determined to use this name. His grandmother was Margaret Learmonth, wife of David Spens, Laird of Wormiston--who was the subject of hacking in 1571). She was born 31 December 1643 and she was christened in Dysart 12 January 1644. Margaret married John Alexander of Dunfermline and their children were John, c. 20 Jan. 1661; William, c. 13 July 1662, James c. 26 Nov. 1665; Janet, c. 4 April 1667, and another John (the first one died) christened 28 Nov. 1669. 5. Isobel, b. ca. 1644 or 1645. She married James Alexander of Dunfermline, John Alexander's brother. The family called her "Bessie Spens". Their two known children were Isobell, b. 2 Sept. 1666, Dunfermline and John Alexander, b. 20 Oct. 1666. [I am uncertain how these Alexanders connect with the Alexanders of the Northern Neck but am quite certain that they do. If so, then they may have been responsible for transportation of some of these people into Virginia. Don't throw away your Alexander notes]. 6. Janet (Jonet), christened 3 October 1646, Dysart. 7. John, christened 8 June 1649, Dysart. This is the John Spence who completed servitude in VA in 1666 and who bought land in Maryland around that same period of time. He was David Spence's half-brother. Anne Rowe died in childbirth with John. By Margaret Guthrie, whom he married in 1649: 1 & 2 Twins: Jeane and Henry. Henry was christened in Dysart 5 Jan 1651 and Jeane was christened in Dysart in April 1651. Henry survived and remained in Dysart. Nothing else is known about Jeane. After 1651, the record goes silent on John Spens of Dysart. There is something I am looking into and haven't confirmed as yet. 1649/1650 were not great years for Scotland. Charles I was beheaded in 1649 and as a result, many Royalists and Cavaliers poured into Virginia. [By the way, I have an interesting note I found in "The History of Northumberland County" describing these Royalists: They were "...of dark hair, swarthy in complexion and black or brown-eyed. They were Anglicans or Episcopalians and maintained a Southwest Dialect--the broad Devon of Sir Walter Raleigh. All of Wales except Pembroke was Royalist & Episcopalian..." In 1649, Robert Parker transported a John Spence, whose name has often been transcribed as "Spences" into Northampton Virginia. The exact entry reads: "Mr. Robert Parker, 500 acres in Naswattock River, Northampton County, 5 October 1649, p. 185. Lyeing N.N.W. upon great Naswattock River from Mossacotanzick Creek mouth to Mattawompson Creek. Transportation of 10 persons: Edward Preston, Robert Speed, 3 tymes, Henry Hudson, John Spences, James CockDales, Henry Croopp, Robert Percivall, John Thomas." I've been toying with the idea that this was John Spens of Dysart, David Spence of Somerset's father. It is quite possible that he married Margaret Guthrie in 1649 some time before his departure. The two children, Jean and Henry were actually born in early 1650, but were not christened until 1651. John Thomas's son, John Thomas, became the servant of James Dashiell in Northumberland in 1660. Young John was 13 on 20 April 1660, indicating that he was born in 1647. This Parker family intermarried with the Hunters of Nansemond, who intermarried with the Perrys, who intermarried with the Spencers and Spences. So I have an idea that John Spens went to Virginia when the situation was hot. His family remained in Scotland. He may have returned to Scotland when the situation cooled down. But he no doubt acquired land while in Virginia, which David Spence took over ca. 1659/1660. That's a theory, but I think it is very possible. I also found another Roe connection in Virginia, and I think that it is quite interesting: a John Roe married Ann Monroe in Westmoreland, VA on 12 June 1787. We have discussed the Spence/Monroe connections in Westmoreland and possibible relationships between the Northumberland Spence/Monroe families and the Spence family of Somerset. Perhaps this is a valuable clue. So, now that I have sung the "Bones" song, "Rowed" my boat, followed my "Bunch hunch", I guess I'll get back to work on that web site. I had to spill the beans on this one, however. It was just too big to hold for the website. Barbara

I thought about them after I sent the message. They are in there, too. Can hardly wait until I get that website finished. Actually--the "Missing Link" in the whole thing turned out to be the fellow whose grave I visited this spring while in Missouri: James H. Bunch--the old Confederate guerilla fighter my grandfather remembered--6 ft. 8 inches tall--long grave beard, etc.--who married Milly Catherine Spence, daughter of Samuel Spence and Elizabeth Inman in 1855. I had assumed that they met for the first time in Missouri. Ho, ho, ho--was I ever wrong. I had some free time at the library the other day and decided that I would look into Mr. Bunch's history. His ancestors intermarried with Elizabeth Inman's Inman line in Perry County, Susannah Spencer's Spencer line in Virginia--and everyone else's line! This was my Bunch hunch for the week--and did it ever pay off!!!

I got bored today and started playing around with some information recently uncovered at the library. It led to one "whopping, gigantic, discovery" concerning the many lines I am chasing: ...the Spencers intermarried with the Spences and with the Bunches ...the Bunches intermarried with the Spences, the Spencers, and the Inmans ...the Inmans intermarried with the Spencers, the Bunches, and the Spences ...the Bunches intermarried with the Inmans and the Smiths ...the Smiths intermarried with the Taliaferros, the Spencers, and the Bunches ...the Taliaferros intermarried with the Spencers, the Spences, and the Hunters, and with the Smiths ...the Smiths intermarried with the Andersons ...the Andersons intermarried with the Skillirns and with the Spencers ...the Hunters intermarried with the Perrys and the Parkers ...the Perrys intermarried with the Spencers and the Spences ...the Spencers intermarried with the Bryants ...the Bryants intermarried with the Spences ...the Inmans intermarried with the Grahams ...the Grahams intermarried with the Kerrs, the Catheys and the Lees ...the Kerrs intermarried with the Spencers ...the Spences intermarried with the Hoods ...the Lees intermarried with everyone mentioned on this list. So guess what??? This whole thing is one big happy family!!! Barbara and guess what???? This whole thing is one big happy family!!!

Good Morning. I am Carolyn Cameron - a "new subscriber". I am interested in Inman's in Yorkshire, England. I know very little about the family beyond the fact that my grgr grandmother was Margaret Inman, b. c 1808 in Pately Bridge, Yorkshire. She married Andrew Snowden who was b. c. 1808 in Bondgate, Ripon, Yorkshire, England. They had two children that I know about. Mary b. 28 Nov 1846 in Ripon and George. Mary married William Edward Simonett in RIpon Cathedral 23 Jan 1869. William was a wool buyer in Bradford. Mary was a milliner and was epileptic. Hopefully someone else out there is interested in the same family. I'd love to hear from you.

"Twigs of Inman & Spence" is coming along fine. I have the Spencer portion of the article I was writing completed. You don't know how good it is for me to say that, but finding these people has been like searching for a lost needle in the haystack. And they certainly took me up hill and down dale and around the corner and across the bridge and over the meadow and under the haystack and through the trees!!!! I have two more parts of the article to write: the Spence portion (Part 1), the 3rd part--finish up the pedigree charts, do some other things and load the "monster" onto a server. It took me all last week to write the Spencer portion, it will probably take me all this week to write the Spence portion, and I can get started on the other portion before my trip. However, I won't have it ready until after our return from the Western Slope and the Beall Family reunion. This, of course, means that it won't be ready until early August. The article is completely different from the one I originally intended. It is called "When Spence Met Spencer: The Story of Elisha Spence (1776-1835) and Susannah Spencer (1785-1810). I decided to focus on the two of them because so little is known about them. (Nothing is known about Susannah!)Then my next article will be called "Two Brothers and a Cousin: The Story of the South Carolina Spencers". Hopefully, I can restore a place in history for Elisha and Susannah. And of course, there is a nice touch of Inman in it, too. I will keep you posted concerning the availability of the website. My plan is to add a new article to the website each month--depending upon how long it is going to be (the article) and my teaching scheduled. Meanwhile.... Barbara
