James T. Spurgeon
Hi, do you have a birth date for the James T. Spurgeon who was brother to Zachariah Taylor Spurgeon?My ancestor is James Taylor Spurgeon, born Mar 4, 1855 and married Mary Lee Odell of Cocke Co., TN.Mary's father was William Odell and her mother was Lavinia Webb, both of Cocke Co., TN.The date of Mar 4, 1855 is from one of the children's Bibles, but my father said James Taylor Spurgeon was 54 when he died in 1905, which would have made him born in about about 1850.His mother was supposed to have been a Margaret Spurgeon, but I can't find James T. in the 1860 census in anyone's house!I am grasping a straws.James Taylor Spurgeon had the following children:Millie, William, Thomas Bradford, Andrew Wann, Bertha L., Charles Hadden, James Taylor, Jr., Margaret Katherine, and John.James Taylor and Mary moved to Jackson Co., AL in about 1879.Do you think that this is the brother, James T., of your Zack?
Thank you, Mona Herrin
