ANDREW SPEERE
Our Emmigrant Ancestor

SPEERE, SPEER, SPEAR



I fell upon this line of Speer's at World Connect, it belongs to Marcia McClure. She has allowed me to display her work here on my webpage, she has wonderful references and she has much more than what you see here. You can contact her at... [email protected]


First Generation


    1. Andrew SPEER, Born C 1640 - probably Bere Regis, D. England, died aft. 1723 Somerset Co., Maryland.

      Somerset Rent Rolls - land Donegal "possessed by Andrew Spear 1666-1723."

      2 February 1687 Andrew Speare entered a cattle mark.
      From: Somerset County, Early Vital Records (1666-1699), Transcribed by Osiris Johnson from CR 50,078 of the Maryland Archives.

      Other than the name of his property, nothing about Andrew suggests Ireland to me. It was just too early for the Scots-Irish. I'll give Virgil maybe Scot... or maybe even Irish, but not Scots-Irish from Northern Ireland. He may very well be Dutch and have come down from New Amsterdam. And even though I have that he may have been born in England, I don't think that an Englishman would live on property named Donegal for more than a minute.MAM

    33. John SPEER, (Jacob, Henry, Andrew) Born abt. 1760 Somerset Co., Maryland, died abt. 1760 Somerset Co., Maryland.

      Note: The 1810 Cumberland Co, KY census shows a John Speer to be over 45 years old. I believe that this is our John Speer living near many other Speers. That means that he was born before 1765. The 1830 census Shelby Co, TN, Roll M19-181, Page 15, shows a J. Spears. He and his wife are both 60 to 70 years old. This puts his birth between 1760 and 1770. Combining both bits of information with the fact that John and Elizabeth wed in 1784, and that they needed their father's permission I put John's birth at 1763-65.

      Harrison married (2) Sarah, 1860 in Lawrence Co., Indiana, she was born 1826 in Lawrence Co., Indiana.

      Because of Harrison birth date above, which has been seen as both dates (1810 and 1814) and the unknown daughter of Delpha below, it would be easy to assume this is the same Richard. However, this could be two different Richards.

      This is what I think may be my line, everything seems to fits. I welcome any information about this and any line that may show proof or otherwise. Bobbi Stockton

    Richard married (1) Delpha or Delphia BIVENS, bfe. 1810

The Information about Richard SPEER'S descendants was compiled by Ruby SPEER, She begins here with Jacob SPEER. If you'd like to get in touch with her, her email address is... [email protected]

      Ruby says, I have researched and compiled information prior to Richard and Delpha, but have never found proof that this is the line of our Richard that married Delpha Bivens. Although, every thing seems to fit.
