The Spake name was changed before they came to America. Spake is an English name that might have taken place of the name Specht or the German word for speak. There are alot of theories. The name is lost as far as I know. Nobody can find Hiram Spake's parents names. If we could find that then we would know. He's the oldest German Spake that we know of. He settled in Iowa and is apart of the Iowa, Oklahoma, Texas strand that I am apart of. He had a brother Madison and a sister.
