An answer to James Green. Spence (Spens) is a sept to Clan MacDuff. I am a member of the MacDuff Clan through the Spence name. They have several tartans that are very attractive. I first joined the clan at Grandfather's Mountain, Boone, N.C. in 1976. Although I moved to Vermont shortly after, I was asked to do the newsletter. Members sent me items and I typed it and sent it to another member, I think it was a Dr. Kilgore from a southern state. We started out with about 30 members at Grandfather's Mountain and now have about 300 or so. After doing the newslatter for 2 years, I resigned my post to a more involved person who lived in the south and was closer to other members. I still belong and have mer several other members. Clan MacDuff has a tent at the Quechee, Vermont highland games every August. Hold on until I find the address. The convener for the upper south (VA, Kentucky, Tenn, NC,SC is Eiler R. Cook 1021 Saddlebrook Dr. Hendersonville, NC 28739. There were alot of Spence families on the east coast of NC. Also, the genealogist Barbara Huff-Duff , 237 Madeline Dr., Monrovia, CA 91016--2431. (e-mail: huffduff@cco.caltech.edu) Membership is $15.00 per person or $20.00 per family per year. All those from the Spence family ought to join. It's Fun! Bette Chayer
