Tx Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Sabine?read=256 Surname: Speights ------------------------- Thanks to the generosity of several I have traveled a long way in a short time in learning about my ancestors. Here's what I've gotten so far: ( "*" means name and date came from Speights family Bible) Weldon William Speights (my father) 11-28-1911 to 11-13-1988 who's parents were Alvie Speights 10-1884 to "*" 12-27-1916 and Ida Mae Speights "*" 11-4-1892 to 1-22-1929. Had two other children "*" Lillie O. and Athana A. Speights who died as young children. After Alvie died, Ida Mae married Alvie's brother, John C. Speights "*" 4-5-1875 to 2-22-1962 and their child was Irene "Snooks" Speights/Jones. Irene married T.J. Jones and had 7 children: Donald (died Oct 1988, about 3 weeks before Irene) Jimmie Nixon Mary Jane married Joe Conn, she died about 5 yrs ago. John Thomas Patricia married Roger McBride Robert Karen Alvie's parents: Green W. Speights "*" 7-11-1839 to 10-24-1922 and Jerusha C. Allen born about 1852. Green W. and Jerusha I believe had 8 children: Lola B. Sudie B. Lillie A. John C. Della M. Madella C. Levy H. and Alvie In reference to the message posted 01 June 2000 by Linda King Davenport, it appears that Green W.'s parents were William M. Speights Jr. and Rebecca Hopkins. I'm confused about the William M. Speights 36 yrs old on the 1850 Sabine County census and Eliza R. Speights 36 yrs old. Can someone provide information to clear those two? Thanks again for the help from some very nice folks. Mike Speights
