Robert SPEARMAN, Sr.

• Note: I do not think that he was born in 1879, or he would have been listed on the United States Census for 1880 with his family, which he was not. So due to this I have left his birthday as stated on the 1900 United States Census. I believe the children are in birth order due to the 1880 census, and have chosen not to believe the date of birth on his death record. I will just add what records we have and see where it goes.
