Elizabeth Speer/Spears was the daughter of Henry and Regina Froman Speer/Spears (last name spelled two ways). Elizabeth died before 1773. Elizabeth's sister was Mary Speers born 1747 died 1805 who m Peter Reasoner b 1745 died 1807 according to Rollo C. Speer's notes.
Kuykendall was spelled several different ways including Keighkendall, etc. You can find several Kuykendall Researchers in VA that will tell you that.
By the way cousin Reasoners, I came across a land map of Peter Resner (Do you like the spelling) at the route 40 Youghiogheny River Crossing next to Jacob Spears, Elizabeth's brother. (Speers is also spelled Spears and Speer in Belle Vernon, PA. My friend Gene Spear from Charleroi, PA (not a relation yet) found it in the Cumberland, MD courthouse. That is a nice place to find Pennsylvania records, isn't it.
LoveLess is an author of a book/s of the Records of Old Augusta County, Va that has records of our families in sw PA if you are interested. A copy can be found in the Citizens library in Washington, PA.
Also there is an internet message that has records of Jacob Spears who moved on to Paris, KY sold this PA crossing land about 1813 to the government which was building the National road bridge across that location. Jacob was the Spears that named Bourbon Whiskey about 1810. I am from Belle Vernon, PA, center of the Whiskey Rebellion of 1790's. I now live in SC south of Charlotte, NC and do my Speers/Spears/Speer/Spear line of names. The last spelling I have to research a little more to show one of my Speers changed it to Spear in New Kensington, PA in the early 1800's.
I am interested in obtaining 5 to 10 copies of Marie's book. I spoke to her two years ago.
