Hi gang, In reviewing some FTM cd's, I noticed that Sara's ancestor Floyd Spence, son of Noah Spence, born 1875 is listed on one of the CD trees as being born in "Cedar Bluff" Tazewell Co. By coincidence, the 1850 Tazewell census says that Tyre Spence and his little family of wife America, and children Jonathan, William, and James, also lived in "Cedar Bluff" of the Western District. In the 1860 Census America indicated that she was a "widow" and had daughters Mary J. and Rebecca, along with the 3 boys. Jean, did we see somewhere that Tyre died in the CSA, or did we just assume he did ? It looks like he may have died or "disappeared" before the 1860 census. We all know the "late unpleasantness" didn't begin until 1861, and Tyre was already gone by then. The names of his daughters indicates a connection to Burwell's line. He may have even been the "missing " older brother of Noah, if he didn't die in the War. Carolyn
