They had children named: William R. James R. Amanda Mary Daniel or Daniel J. Daniel J.(b.abt 1805-1810 SC or Ga) died around 1847 probably in Randolph Co,Al His widow Jane ______(b.abt 1810 SC or Ga) married Jeremiah SHEPPARD by 1850. The had children named: Caroline b.1850 Susan b.bet 1851-1853 Jane ____(b.abt 1810 SC or Ga) died around 1856. Jeremiah SHEPPARD assumed guardianship of all the SPEARS children mentioned above. Jeremiah then married Jessie Jane _____(b.abt 1820 Ga) and they had children: Andrew J. b.1856 Millard Fillmore b.bet 1857-1859 This would make Susan and Millard half sibling(common parent Jeremiah) as Daddy always told us.
