Note for: William Horace LENSS, 18 JUN 1846 - 1910 Index

Using a picture of the Lenss and Dries family I found George Lenss. Pictured also was a woman named Celia Hampel. So I located the record of George Henry Lenss whos mother was a Hampel so I made the leap of faith that George was Mary Lenss brother.

In 1885 Horace Lenss filed a deed to 160 acres in Shawano county

William Horace Lenss died as result of a fall from the barn roof while removing snow.

Note for: George SPEAR, 1613 - 21 MAR 1719 Index

b. ABT 1613 in Sheffield, England
d. in Sheepscott, New Dartmouth, Province of Maine

Immigrant ancestor of all colonial families of this surname in New England.

He is first mentioned in Braintree in 1644 when he was made freeman of the colony on May 29,1644 where he became a tenant farmer to William Coddington and purchased by Capt. Tyng. There is no record that George Spear owned any land of his own in Braintree. He remained on the Mt. Wollaston farm until after 1679 when he removed to Sheepscot, Me. with his third wife, where he was May 21,1688 when he petitioned for the lands there formerly belonging to his wife's first husband. He was probably killed by the Indians soon after in the massacres there as there is no further record of him. He was a member of the Braintree Church in April 1644 when his daughter Mary was baptized at Roxbury "by communion? of Churches". He married 1st about 1643 Mary Heath, bapt. 2 Sep.1627 at Nazing, daughter of William + Mary (Cramphore) Heath of Roxbury. She died Dec.7,1674. In his will May 28,1652 he left ś10 to daughter Mary Spear. He married 2nd Apr.27, 1675 Mary (Newcomb) Deering widow of Samuel Deering, born Apr.1, 1640, died Aug.1,1678, daughter of Francis + Rachel (-) Newcomb. He married 3rd Elizabeth Gent (or Jent) widow of John Jent who had been of Sheepscot, Me. cast away while his family was in Boston during the Indian Wars. George Speere and his sons Ebenezer + Samuel took the oath of allegiance at Braintree about 1678 and he was probably here in 1680 when he had a court case with Peter Bracket. 4351 A large amount of material on this family was gathered in the 1880's + 1890's by William Gardner Spear of Quincy from whose records at the Quincy Hist. Soc. and N.E. Hist. Gen. Soc. help has been derived. Acknowledgement for much aid on this family also is here made to Mrs. Grace P. Bonsall of Quincy, a descendant, who has continued and enlarged the data gathered over 50 years ago by Wm.G. Spear. Elizabeth Speare who joined the church at Roxbury July,1662 might possibly be a daughter of George also. He was living in Bogastow or Natick, now Sherborn in May 1662 when he petitioned with others to have a new town there (Mass. Arch. 112-136).
Religion - 1644; Braintree, Essex, England; Baptist
