Spann Family
Main Page

My family intersects with the Spann family on both my Baskin and Cathcart sides.  The closet relationship is on the Baskin side of the family...

My Direct Spann Line

  • Eleanora Norvelle Spann (1819-1907) my 3rd great grandmother, who married Richard Charles Richardson, Sr. (1815-1877)
    • Will of James G. Spann, Jr. (Eleanora's brother) This is a very fascinating will--for many reasons.  It confirms that Eleanora is James' sister.  Also, note 1) the date he wrote the will (only a few months before his death in battle during the Civil War) and 2) the care he takes in making sure his slave families are not separated after his death due to the execution of his will.
  • Eleanora's parents (my 4th great grandparents) were James G. Spann, Sr. (c1785-c1839) and Leonora Davis (1786-1867)
  • My 5th Great Grandparents: Charles Stuart and Mary Ann Russell Spann
  • My 6th Great Grandparents: Richard and Sarah Stuart Spann
  • My 7th Great Grandparents: John and Mary Norwood Spann
  • My 8th Great Grandparents:  Still under review, but may be John or Benjamin and Mary Parks Spann
