Hi, folks! I'm researching the Speaks folks who lived in Loudon County Virginia in the early and mid 1800s, and then moved to Knox and Licking Counties, Ohio in the late 1800s and 1900s. Several names: Charles Speaks born about 1817 Virginia George Speaks born about 1845 Virginia Charles Gilbert Speaks born about 1875 - Virginia or Ohio Burley Speaks born Ohio 1895 Do these names ring a bell with anybody? Thanks! Pat at tejharpo@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? HotJobs - Search new jobs daily now http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/

I have both spellings, which was why I created this list with the intention of covering both variations, as I let Rootsweb know.

Lets see if it works.

Please take a few sentences or so to introduce yourself and your particular branches of research! -Allison Goettee (Goethe)-

My line is Samuel Speaks through his son James b. abt 1810 N.C. James Speaks and Margaret Stotts were married in Green Township, Morgan County, Indiana. James came to Morgan County in after 1819 with his father Samuel, and brothers William and Thomas. By 1840 I don't find any of the family except James and Williams (widow) Jamimi. I don't know if Samuel and Thomas died or moved. James and Margaret's known children were: William Riley, John Wiley (twins) b. abt 1834, J.W. b.abt 1837, S.C. b. abt 1836, Robert S. b. abt 1842, Alexander (Allen) b. abt 1844, S.E.( female) b. abt 1847, and Henry Newton b.1850. They left Indiana and came to Taney County, Missouri abt 1846. The Children later go on to Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.

Thanks, Melissa, for being brave and posting the first message ever to this mailing list! And of the other three folks going to be just as daring? ;-)
