This home page is based on research started by my parents many years ago. We've been fortunate to find many relatives also researching our family lines, especially Joan Holt who is also a Spear/Speir descendant. The majority of the information on the descendants of Bird Booker Speir is Joan's work.
At the moment, the surnames I am especially working on are Callison, Candler, Clarke, Halcomb, Helms, Hobbs, Holstein, McCullar, Moore, Morrow, Perry, Peyton, Phipps, Quinney, Riley, Robeson, Spear/Speir, Wiley, Woodley, Worthey, and Yarbrough.
This is an ongoing project and probably contains some errors.
