Horatio Gates Spafford Born Oct 20, 1828 to Horatio Gates Spaford 1778-1832 & Elizabeth Clark Hewet 1790-1840. He married Anna Larsen 1842-1923 Sep 5 1861 in Chicago, Cook County, IL, US. His last residence and death was in Jerusalem 1888 and his burial was Mount Zion Cemetery, Jerusalem, Palestine.
My grandmother Nina May (Cary) Booth was a Twin her sister being Inez May (Cary) Spafford was married to Harris Enoch Spafford (1890-1980). Harris was surpassingly related Horatio and I have been trying to find that relationship for that side of my family. I have had no success so far. I have went up through Harris family and tried to come down but there is missing information. So I am now trying to go about it by going up Horatio history and see if there is any over lap. Or is this just a family tall story.
For Horatio I can only so far find links to his father and mother. I have not been able to go back any farther that Horatio & Elizabeth. This is the path that I would like to follow.
