Hello Jackie O. My name is Scott Spencer. Im afraid I don't have a connection to your family that you are searching for but I might have a lead for you. I started doing the genealogy of my Family about 6 years ago. At that time my parents were both dead, as were most of my clan. So I had very little to go on. At that time I thought my Gr.Grandfathers name was "James Louis Spencer". That is what a few of the remaining relatives had told me was that he was called "James". after that first year I discovered that his real name was "Albert Louis Spencer" To this day I don't know where the "James" came from. Anyway when I thought he was a James, I came across a man in Mt Pleasant, Tx. named Burton Harris. He wrote me a letter telling me that he thought that my James Louis, was brother to his Gr.Grandfather named John William Spencer, and that their father was named James Spencer. Burton and his neice had done a lot of extensive genealogy on the Spencers in Titus Co. Texas, which is in the same corner of Texas as Texarkana. Oh I'm telling you he had some fascinating stories on them. Which made me wish my Spencers were connected, and they might be but I haven't proved it yet. Anyway I don't think Burton himself has a computer, but his Neice does. Her name is Connie Vissering, and here is her "old" e-mail address, I don't know if she has changed it or [email protected]
Tell her Scott Spencer gave you her address, & info. Just for grins let me tell you my family lineage. my dad was Wallace Ray Spencer, His dad was Earl Lafeyette Spencer, his dad was Albert Louis Spencer, and his dad was Robert Spencer. Earl was born in 1893 in Mt Pleasant, Tx. Albert was born in Polk Co. Arkansas, moved to Franklin Co. Tx, in abt. 1878, with his mother and siblings. Married Mary Frances Jordan, and settled that area until sometime around the turn of the century, then moved to Reid Okla. and stayed there until my Grandad moved to Knox City Texas with his wife and kids. Robert Spencer, my Gr.Gr.Grandad was bn in N.C. in 1823 met Rebecca Gurley in Texas sometime before William Spencer was born in 1855, then moved to Polk Co. Arkansas before Albert Spencer was born in 1857. Rebecca took the children and Left Robert sometime after Dora (the youngest was born in 1875, and went back to Franklin Co. Texas. Robert Committed suicide in 1879, in Arkansas, by sitting on the tracks and letting the train run over him. (I've got a big long newspaper article on that). Anyway if you come across any of these names I could sure use a lead myself. I've deadended on Robert.Good Luck Scott.
