Hi everyone,
For some time now I have been researching the Spann's in TN. Not an easy
chore because there seem to be two sets. One set of these originate (in TN.)
with William SPANN b. N. C. m. Leticia HYDE in early 1800's in Williamson co.
The others show up in Dickson co. Pleasent Armstrong SPANN b. KY. m. Emmaline
BALLARD. Does anyone have any idea of the connection of these two lines? I
descend from both.
Also: I am finding info that is very confusing on the very early SPANN's.
Some info says line came from Wales, other info says England. By comparing
names & dates, these are the same people but born in different countries. I
also found a book that says we are of German descent.
Any thoughts or comments on this?
Does any one have documented proof?
Are we having fun yet?

Thx Jimmy Spann
