Burwell would have then been the oldest child probably, or only child? I wish I knew. Now, John Spence was with Burwell in 1783, that was the year he was in the war. The pension papers show he was very young at that time, late teens, I think. However no other males were shown on that tax list in the household, (females would not have been listed. I meant Montgomery (Henry) Co. not Greensville for the tax list. However the census records show only one John Spence in Virginia in 1782, one year earlier in Greensville County. Now, my question, did Burwell move away from home a couple of counties to the west and did Dad go with him for awhile? John Spence still shows up on the census (Greensville) in 1810 and so on, but Burwell is then missing. Mystery abounds? --part0_922455040_boundary--
