Peter Spoon/Elizabeth Greeson-N.C., Indiana
I am researching my Spoon ancestry and trying to find just who the parents of my Peter Spoon are. There are several Spoons with the same names, especially Adam, Christian, John,and Peter Spoon. They seem to all be connected to North Carolina, but am confused as to how they all relate.
I have Peter Spoon (my ggg-grandfather), wife Eilzabeth, in the 1870 Census of Morgan Co., Indiana.Listed are children born before 1870;(Peter is listed as aged 68, which would put his year of birth at about 1802.)
1. Monroe Spoon, born about 1848 ( Living in the household)and
2. William A(lonzo) Spoon,(my gg-grandfather)born about 1845, wife Melissa, son Peter Spoon, b. Feb. 1870.( Living in the next household).
Marriage records for Morgan Co., Indiana show a Peter Spoon married to Elizabeth Greeson on Dec 25, 1841. Elizabeth Greeson,born Dec 4, 1822, Guilford Co., North Carolina,was a daughter of Jacob C. Greeson and Catherine Spoon. Catherine Spoon was a daughter of John Spoon and Eve Fogelman.
This is as much as I have concerning this family. It would be greatly appreciated if someone knowing this family's history would contact me.
Sincerely,
Anthony J. Lewis
