I hadn't seen the posting about the chart so I'll send the stamps tomorrow. This is really interesting to me and I'd like to find out as much as I can. You are absolutely correct about my aunts and uncles although I didn't know them (other than Ruby) since my father Nelson moved to Massachusetts and married my mother there and the rest of my father's family either stayed in Iowa or moved to Calif. I was born and brought up in Lexington,Mass, so it really is fascinating to find out that I have an ancestor who fought in the Revolutionary war. I don't know Willian Wayne Spence either but I will contact Claire after I get "caught up". I live in McLean Va. now, pretty close to Washington so if I can be of any help at the Archives or Library of Congress please let me know. From reading the messages it also seems like James Carver comes from either my line or a very close one to me- is that right? This family seems like it is so large that it's incredible to me. I always thought that Spence was an uncommon name and in Boston I didn't run into many Spence's. I feel like I've come back to my roots by living in Va.
