page 196. This page has
several families linked together by proximity. Also listed here
but not included in this list is the Box family that is the source of Elizabeth who
married D. O. Spann also on this page. The first family here is
John E. Spann Jr. William Harrison married Camila. John Spann Sr.
is next door. The one mystery that I can't justify and that is
that John Spann Sr. is supposed to have died in July of 1860 but this
page was enumerated on September 5th.
