Letter from James L. McCallum, PO Box 71, Monkton, Ontario NOK 1PO
CanadaDated 16 NOV 1985:Jacob and Mary (Ward) Spiker were living
in Warwick Township, Lambton Co. in 1861 (census year).Add to their
list of children-- James (1870) and Jacob (1863) as these are almost
certainly their parents.
I believe the Spikers were of the Mennonite Faith (being from
Pennsylvania) but Jacob's wife Mary was listed as being Catholic, so I
believe this accounts for the difference in religion between the two
family groups.
According to the 1900 Census for Mills Twp, Midland County Jacob was
born in Canada.His father and mother were both born in Pennsylvania.
