James and Jane Wallace Speers/Spear - Parnasus, PA
Looking for Descendents of James and Jane (or Elizabeth?) Wallace Speers who moved from Speers, PA to Parnussus, PA now New Kensington (?) earlly 1800's. I came in contact with one of their descendents in mid-west who said they or their children changed the last name from Speers to Spear due to a mail conflict with a neighbor that had the same last name. James is the son of Rev. Henry Speers, Jr. my ggggf. Henry was an early Primitive Baptist minister at Enon Church at Speers, PA or West Bellevernon (Belle Vernon) between 1793 and 1840 when he died. Henry was a Revolutionary soldier I believe in the 2nd Regiment. His tombstone has a Rev. War plaque on it. His wife was Rebekah Fry or Frye of Fallowfield TWP, Washington County, PA.
