Fellow Bluford Spences, I subscribed & the L server added me & let me know via e-mail dated Wed, 6 Jan 1999 08:41 PST. As you may see, I have contradictions causing me concern about my descent from James SPENCE b. 1748 & wife Jane BLUFORD, which could disqualify me from this list. I have just finished putting my Spence line (as I suppose it to be), at http://millennium.fortunecity.com/byker/362/ On that page, click on "21. SPENCE Pages". I will get it on my other web site (see my signature lines) when I find it back on-line. What are the urls of your Spence pages? My line is based on the 2 published sources (Boddie & Huxford) which I have shown in part on that page & those 2 sources contradict each other a bit. I have known this much for about 25 years & never gone looking for the documents to back it up & see what is correct. :-( Boddie lists the kids of Bluford Thorpe SPENCE Sr. & Charity SMITH but leaves out Joshua &/or Moses which I try claim based on Huxford. Does anyone have photocopies of the will or Bible of Bluford Thorpe SPENCE Sr. & Charity SMITH to verify what kids they had. Perhaps a deed could verify my line or perhaps my Joshua SPENCE is the son of someone else. Anyone know? >From my lineage on my web page you can see my line right down to me. Who all subscribed is descended from my Joshua SPENCE b. 1800? -- James W.
