The Spain Family of Rutherford County |
|
|
Many thanks to Barbara Scott Wyche for this information.
The Spain family moved to Tennessee from Dinwiddie County, Virginia,
about 1815. Stephen and his wife Lucy purchased 640 acres which
is now known as
Spain's Hill. The property is on the county line between Rutherford
and Wilson counties.
Thomas was the eldest son. He married the daughter of John
Donnell Foster of Wilson County. In the 1850's the family moved to Tyler,
Smith County, Texas. His eldest son, Hugh L. Spain, married Maggie Roberts,
the daughter of Oran Milo Roberts who later became Governor of the State of Texas.
