Isaac R. Spence b.1823 in GA d.1871 in Trinity,TX, was the son of Isaac Spence b. 1785 d.1856.Isaac R's first wife was Winnie Lewis who died in GA in 1847.His second wife was Mary Levins.Isaac Spence came to GA from NC or SC, not proven yet which.He settled in what is now Grady County,GA.It was originally Thomas County and then divided up. It is just north of Cairo,GA {about 20 miles from Florida} and was and still is called the Spence Community. Mostly everyone there was a Spence or married to one.The majority of the Spence's moved to Florida and Texas after that.There was a lot of them.
Isaac R had a brother named Winford b.1818 d.1873.Please note that the correct spelling is Winford and not Winphord for Isaac R. Spence's brother.Is this the same one you are asking about? I show that Winford had a wife named Ellen House and they married 5/4/1843.Are we talking about the same people.
