There is little information available about William Spears, and none about his
wife or parents. We know he had at least one child, Ephriam
Spears, and can assume he had at least one other, William Spears, Jr., since
he is mentioned in an 1824 deed listed below as "William Spears, Sr."
| He is listed in the 1820
census for Allen County, Kentucky as being over 45 and married to a woman who is also over 45.
(Actually, since Ephriam was born in 1777, we can guess that he was at least 65
or more at that time.) There were no children in their household.[1] |
