Hello Mark, I just read your posts on the two Michael Spessarts on ancestry.com. You have done a lot of investigation. Perhaps that birthdate is just a mistake. My grandmother Rosalie Spessert's birth certificate says she was born in 1889, her tombstone and death record say she was born in 1890. I am related to Michael Spessert's son David and wife Eva Hoye Spessert throught their son George, then son Franklin A.H. Spessert who was my great grandfather. My mother grew up living next to Frank Spessert's farm in Red Creek, WVa. In her writings she spells the name Spes(s)art. I have been trying to find Eva Hoye's parents as of late. I have a theory but no facts. Thanks for your hard work on this family.
