Spence and Carr families of Williamson and Saline
I'm hoping to find info on a Spence family that is related to my mother's Carr family. The Spences moved from NC to AL to IL. In 1850, John Abner Spence and Nancy (Carr) Spence were in Jackson County, AL. In the 1860 Saline County, IL census, my 4th gr grandfather John Carr was living with his daughter Nancy (Carr) Spence and her husband John Abner Spence. John Abner was born in NC about 1828. Nancy was born in Jackson County AL about 1832. Between 1860 and 1870, I believe John Carr died. The Spences can be found in Saline county in 1870. In 1880, they can be found in Williamson County, IL. In 1880, the census showed a 15 yr. old son named Richard. Richard continued living in Williamson County until his death in 1944.
I'm hoping to find some member of that Spence family who has info about John Carr. I particularly would like to find the names of his parents. John was born in South Carolina about 1800. In the early 1850s, he moved his family to Saline County, IL from Jackson County, AL. Any info you might have would be appreciated!
