Thanks for resending. I have a few differences than what you have. Some of it is just a matter of a year or two on the birth years. But since most of those are guesses from census records, it doesn’t really make a difference.
I do have a birth year of 1836 for George from the 1900 census. Same record shows a birth year of 1838 for Emily Jane Carby
Andrew Jackson Spencer is buried in Bethany Cemetery in Louisville. He was married twice. Second wife was Isabelle Cundiff. She is buried with him at Bethany. They married March 10, 1891. She was born October 21, 1869. Some discrepancy about the date I was given for her death and the tombstone year. Also Andrew’s tombstone gives his birth year as 1856.
Kendrick was born in 1859/60. He was married first to Nancy Pilkenton. Second to Mary Rose. Mary Rose was born August 2, 1874 and died August 22, 1948.
Lenora is buried in Sonora Cemetery.
Martin Spencer and his wife Rose are buried in the Carbytown Cemetery. Rose was born July 31, 1873 and died April 14, 1950
Asa and his wife Getrude Hazel are buried in Bethany Cemetery in Louisville. I have Asa’s dates as born October 18, 1883, died September 13, 1969. Gertrude Hazel ws born February 12, 1891 and died June 28, 1938. They were married February 28, 1909 in Grayson County.
I have Lacy Spencer born October 18, 1883, died August 20, 1961. I believe he and Ollie are buried in Mt. Zion Cemetery in Grayson County. I will have to find a recent email to verify the dates and cemetery.
I have typed up the 1900 census information on George and Emily and am attaching it to this e-mail.
