  ! History
  The children of Arthur are named in his estate settlement, Halifax, d ated 1794.
  This is the order of the children's names.  William/Willis (Named bot h ways
  in the same account) was probably the eldest.  I have tried to gues s Arthur's
  age based on the fact that he was deeded land in 1778.  The grantor w as one
  James Jones of Halifax.  Witnesses were:  Willis Speir and Christophe r Haynes.
  In Samuel Spears' pension application, Christopher Haynes said that t hey had
  known each other since childhood.  Samuel's sister married one Lazaru s Jones
  who named his son James.  Kindred Speirs (Halifax) was closely associ ated with
  James Jones.  Obviously, there is a very close relationship.  Sinc e a Kindred
  Spears pops up in Hawkins Co., Tennessee, the possibility of Kindre d being the
  father of these children exists.  Kindred (Halifax) was son of Jame s (will
  1760) of Halifax.
