Surnames: Speece Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HBC.2ACI/118.125.127.1 Message Board Post: I am researching Charles Speece who came to america with his family during early 1840's. Family lore has it that he came here after his business went bad. He settled in upper Ohio and then moved to Washington state. I wonder if this is the one you are looking for also? Susan Bowen
