Hi Folks... As clue to where our Spence Line was located there in Augusta Co., VA. lies with FT. Defiance..... Ft. Defiance was the military part of the old Augusta Stone Church ...church served both as a place of worship and as a military fort .... location where William Spence m. 1792 to Mary "Polly" Anderson. Ft. Defiance is locate on US 11 near the Rockingham County Line....got location on an old map but not sure what it were it would be on a current map...haven't looked but will. For missing Spences...I'm sure some must have slipped over into Rockingham County, VA. has anyone looked over there???? Buffalo chips will burn, great fuel for a fire when no firewood is available...but the fumes are intense! (this for free) Jim James F.
