Norman, Where did your Jonathan Spence marry Elizabeth McClain ? I found a McClain family in Grauson Co. VA. Also this was interesting. James Anderson was the surety on the marriage bond for William McClain and Phebe Newman on 1/27/1807. They were married by Rev. George Quesenberry. James Anderson was the surety on many couples bonds. Norman, will you post the list of Jonathan's known children so we can look at their names ? ********* CD # 15 tree 2053 has Uriah Spence. Has anyone checked this one yet ? CD # 14 tree 3027 has Bluford Thorpe Spence ( Luanne's line ) Leggett, Kirkland, Donehower, Lott, Rima and Boyd families. Jean, will you spot check 1850 Tazewell census for a Duggins, Thomas & Sarah ? Sarah Spence married Tom Duggins in Grayson Co. 1839. I don't see them in Carroll Co. in 1850. Maybe they moved to Tazewell with the others ? Rev. John Cock married these 3 couples in this order. 9/19/1839 Stephen Spence & Sarah Useley (Woosley) 10/24/1839 John Thomas & Lucinda Puckett * this is Nancy Thomas Spence's son 11/02/1839 Thomas Duggins & Sarah Spence They were all married by publication. We know that John & Lucinda Thomas were in Tazewell, and we have found a stray Stephen Spence there too. Maybe Thomas & Sarah went along ! I found a Lucy Ann Spence who married Joseph Chandler on 10/9/1849. James Spence, surety. Rev. Nathaniel Thompson Sr.......I haven't found a place for Lucy Ann yet. If James is the one who married Nancy Watson 1830, Lucy Ann may be their daughter. Remember I said they married 1830 and the first known child, Uriah, wasn't born until 1835. Lucy Ann must have been above the age of consent because consent wasn't asked in the record. So she may have been born 1830-1834. I'm going to pencil her in as a child of James & Nancy (Watson) Spence. When I get time I'm going to post Burwell Spence's Will. That will cause some chat, I'm sure. Later, Carolyn
