JOHNSON SPENCER (b. abt 1825). The couple had two children together, Fannie and a sister Mattie Lovejoy DOANE b. 1871.  Fannie died 18 Nov 1884 in Atlanta, GA.  Fannie's sister Mattie married Manley A. SPARKS and they had sons, John Doane SPARKS b. 1900 in AL and died 1988 in Palmetto, FL and Manley A. SPARKS Jr. b. 1902 and d. 1975 in Atlanta, GA, and then a daughter Katherine May SPARKS b. 1910. Census records provide the following information: 1870 census of Atlanta, GA: John A. DOANE, age 39, no occupation, born NY C. D. DOANE, age 26, Keeping House, born GA Fannie DOANE, age 1, born GA Allen SPENCER, age 8, at School, born GA + 1 Carriage Driver + 2 Servants 1880 census of Atlanta, GA: John DOANE, age 54, born CT, a Bookkeeper, parents born MA/CT Donnie DOANE, wife, age 37, born GA, Keeping House, parents born GA Fannie DOANE, dau, age 10, born GA, at School Mattie DOANE, dau, age 9, born GA, at School Allen SPENCER, step-son, age 17, born GA, parents born FL/GA Thomas JOHNSON, brother, age 30, born GA, parents born GA Eliza BALDWIN, other, age 50, born CT, parents born CT + 2 servants I am hoping to locate someone from Fannie's family so that this wonderful old treasure can be returned to the care of her family.  If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
