I also have a SPEIGHT line: William Speight,
who died 1773/1774 in Wake Co NC, married
Abigail _____.
Their daughter Winifred m. my direct ancestor
Jesse JONES (Jesse's son Laban married
Nancy LASATER,dau of Hezekiah Lasater
and Elizabeth COPELAND).
I have lots of info on my Jones line, but
my knowledge of the Speights is minimal. It is
believed William may have belonged to the same
family of Speights who were in Nansemond Co.
Virginia, in the late 1600's and early 1700's before migrating to North Carolina. Several land grants are found for William in Craven Co from 1751 to 1765(later this part of Craven Co became Johnston, then Wake.)
