PALMER. I , SUSAN SPENCE WARD WAS BORN ON FEBRUARY 4, 1943 AT BRUNSWICK, GA. AND AM NOT MARRIED. COMMENTS FROM JIM SPENCE: I BELIEVE THAT ISAAC SPENCE WAS ANOTHER SON OF JAMES SPENCE AND JANE BLUFORD AND THAT POSSIBLY THEY HAD ANOTHER SON NAMED MOSES. IF ISAAC WAS BORN IN 1785, JANE BLUFORD WOULD HAVE ONLY BEEN 34 YEARS OLD AND WAS YOUNG ENOUGH TO STILL HAVE CHILDREN. THE NAME SIMILARITIES PASSED ON DOWN THROUGH THE YEARS IS JUST TOO STRONG TO NOT BE CONSIDERED. NOT ONLY WAS THE NAME BLUFORD HANDED DOWN FOR SEVERAL GENERATIONS BU T ALSO GREEN (MARY) WHO WAS THE WIFE THOMAS SPENCE, THE NAME OF THORP(MARY) WIFE OF WILLIAM WAS ALSO PASSED DOWN SEVERAL GENERATIONS. ISAAC R. SPENCE, MY GRANDFATHER, NAMED ONE OF HIS DAUGHTERS CHARITY (MAYBE AFTER CHARITY SMITH, WIFE OF THORP SPENCE) ??. ISAAC NAMED A DAUGHTER ELIZABETH (MAYBE AFTER ELIZABETH HILLIARD WIFE OF JAMES SPENCE)??. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TRACK ISAAC DOWN IN VIRGINIA. HE SHOWS UP IN BURKE., CO, GA. AND THEN THOMAS CO., GA. WHERE HE SPENT THE REST OF HIS LIFE. I KNOW THAT WE HAVE RELATIVES STILL LIVING IN CAMILLA, GEORGIA, WHICH IS THE PLACE THAT HYRAM WARNER AND HIS WIFE JANE DIED. ALSO THORP AND CHARITY SMITH SPENCE LIVED IN BURKE CO., GA, WHICH IS WHERE ISAAC SHOWS TO HAVE BEEN ALSO. IF ANYONE HAS INFORMATION THAT MIGHT PROVE THAT ISAAC SPENCE CAME FROM VIRGINIA TO BURKE CO., GA. IT MIGHT HELP TO TIE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER DOWN. I AM STILL WORKING ON IT. THE SUSAN SPENCE WARD APPLICATION TO THE DAR IS NOT DATED SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN SHE FILED IT OR WHERE SHE IS NOW. I THINK SHE MIGHT BE IN ST. SIMONS ISLAND, GA. BUT I AM NOT SURE. ALSO DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THE DAR WOULD LET SOMEONE HAVE COPIES OF THE OTHER NATIONAL NUMBERS THAT SUSAN SPENCE WARD LISTED ON HER APPLICATION. (295662, 143697, AND 201069.) THESE MIGHT SHOW WHO THESE RELATIVES OF HERS ARE AND THE INFORMATION THEY FILED TO GET MEMBERSHIP IN THE DAR. JIM SPENCE
