Dear Spells:
I am the gggg-granddaughter of Redding Spell and Lucy Pippen.I am looking for dates, names and connections from there back.
According to my information (which consisted of sorting through thousands of censuses and and microfilm at the Paducah Public Library) here's what I've got:
Redding Spell (b. 17 Feb 1815; d 3 Sep 1891) m. Nancy B. Ferguson (b. 18 Jan 1817; d. 25 Aug 1902) on 8 Jan 1835.They had 5 children.
Redding's parents were Lucy Pippen (b. 1782; d. between 1860-1870) and Redding Spell, Sr. (b. 1780 in NC; d. 1817, Livingston Co., KY)
Lucy father was Benjamin Pippen (d. 1827) and also had a very influential brother of the same name.Their father was Solomon Pippen.I assume they came from NC, but have no facts to support it.
I had written down that John Spell and Sarah Randolph were Redding, Sr.'s parents.Can anyone tell me if this is correct of am I mistaken?Any information would be helpful.
