Spann Born: 1851 Place: Louisiana Died: 1882 Place: Floresville, Texas Marr: 24 Dec 1876 Place: Madisonville, Madison Co., Tx To: Martha Ann Mosley Born: Aug 1856 Place: Montgomery Co., Tx Died: 13 Feb 1887 Place: Texas Children of James and Martha: Nora Spann b. 10 Mar 1879 Judy Spann b. 17 Nov 1880 (my grandmother) James Richard Spann b. 22 Apr 1882 All I know of his parents is that his father was born in Alabama, and his mother was born in Mississippi. I would really like to know who his parents were. I spent most of yesterday checking census records hoping to find his parents, but so far have been unsuccessful. You are so right about James being a very popular name. Mike, I know my information is scant, but you would be helping me greatly if you could match me up with my James Spann. He has always been our mystery man. Judy Spence SPENCE@lub002.lamar.edu

I have been in the family for only two years. I think he is currently looking for information on Spanns around Missouri. My husband, Lawrence Edward Spann was born in Sherman,Texas in 1943. If you think you might be interested, I can provide more information at a later date. Suzann Spann

I seems there were at least two Spann families in Virginia. It looks like you are descended from Francis Spann from your notes. I am stuck in Kentucky , descendent of Soloman Spann, killed in Civil War , living in Illinois at time of enlistment. I do however have info on Virginia Spanns. ~Paula Larkin~

I am researching my family line, predominantly in Cheshire -UK, however I am also looking at all Spann's in the UK, not officially a one name study though. I have a home page of sorts at www.spann.supanet.com which I hope to develop when I have the time - it is used to try to capture like interested people at the moment.
