Phebe's first husband was David Spear, who died July 19, 1773, leaving his wife and the following children, Elizabeth, William, David, and John. John and Phebe later had three children of their own, John, Hugh and a daughter, Jane. At the time of John's death, his will indicates Jane's last name is Slack. Thar's really all I know of the Slack family. Although John and Phebe spent most of their married life in New London Twnshp, Chester County, Pa., I thought since they were originaly from Newton, Pa., their may be a connection with your family line.
